Neighbours coming to tea later (belated return invitation) so I’ve made a Vic.sponge. Didn’t wait long enough for it to cool before picking up to peel the lining paper off the bottom - one half started to break! Obvs. that will be the bottom layer - I dare say it’s going to show when slicing, but heigh ho, can’t do owt about it now.

I made the cake for my daughter's wedding last weekend. There were nine layers of cake in total. One of them stuck slightly to the tin and a piece broke off. I just fitted it all together and carried on icing it. Nobody seemed to notice.

I thought I was doing well making two banana cakes.

Years ago I was more ambitious, making birthday cakes, anniversary cakes etc.

I hardly ever make cakes and I was beginning to regret promising to make it. I don't think I'll be signing up to "Bake Off" any time soon, but it was quite an achievement.

Thank you. Thank goodness for YouTube videos on tiering cakes, icing and making flowers from icing.

I'm sure it was much appreciated.

Eggs in scones? 😮😳

I'm lost for words.

Since when have scones been made with eggs?

Mary Berry's recipe uses two eggs. I guess it works OK, though I use Delia's one with buttermilk.
