It’s not often I get a chance to bake these days but when there’s a special occasion I will make time! Baking in the extreme heat the UK has just had is not the one! I opted for a simple three tiered vanilla sponge cake filled with an American vanilla buttercream frosting… yes the frosting layers were thick (to add hight!) and were certainly not for diabetics or heart patients consumption! I think next time I will add my signature strawberry compote to cut through the intense sweetness! And of course I had to add the cake p**n (forgot to capture it earlier) I didn’t realise how much I missed baking… Happy birthday to my big sister 💚
