I had a mishap with a box of homemade Shortbread. It was eaten anyway. It still tasted great.

Never having made a sponge in my life I'm impressed anyway!! Also I'm used to my mum's various failures which were always eaten with delight despite their appearance.

I doubt anyone would notice - and home made sponge cake is just lovely!

I did just that with last year’s Christmas cake. Fortunately the bits came together again, sort of, and when decorating it I surreptitiously marked the area only to be cut and eaten by us. I also said why, after all these years of making cakes? I’m sure yours will be fine and much enjoyed.

As my dear old dad used to say, "Oh well, it's going to get a lot more broken up where it's going!" Homemade cake will always be appreciated, Witzend.

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.
