Steps
I made 5 slightly thick pancakes in a frying pan.
I squeezed the liquid thoroughly from the canned fruit cocktail and peeled the mandarin oranges.
I bought 3 tubs of whipped cream from a bakery. It was 500 won per tub.
Buying ready-made whipped cream was much more convenient than buying whipping cream ingredients and whipping it myself.
Since I just used ingredients I had at home, it did not turn out very fancy.
Feel free to use prettier decorating ingredients to make a gorgeous cake.
Spread syrup or jam onto the pancake bread.
Spread whipped cream evenly over the syrup, then top with canned fruit.
Spread whipped cream again, place another pancake on top, spread syrup (jam), then cream, fruit, cream, pancake...
I repeated this order.
Once it reaches a good height, spread whipped cream evenly over the sides and top.
Doing it without proper baking tools made it tricky to shape neatly.
Top with decorating fruit or other toppings to decorate.
I pressed mandarin orange slices around the sides, but it looks a bit messy. To be honest, I rarely make cakes, so I am a total beginner.

FAQ
Can I use other fruits for decoration besides canned fruit cocktail?
You can use a variety of fruits to your liking, such as kiwi, strawberries, bananas, and pineapple, for decoration.
Do I need to whip the cream myself?
You can whip it yourself, but buying ready-made whipped cream from a bakery makes the process much simpler.
Is there anything to keep in mind when using canned fruit cocktail?
Be sure to squeeze out the canned fruit juices thoroughly before layering it between the bread so that the cream does not get watery and the cake holds its shape well.
