It's my favourite cake. The first cake I ever learnt to bake and the cake I still turn to on rainy days and Sundays. All the more reason for the humble Victoria Sponge to be my wedding cake.
Good choice! We had Victoria sponge for our wedding cake too as I hate fruit cake and chocolate seemed too heavy. Don't listen if they say that there may be trouble with having more than one tier - we had 3 and it just involved using pillars in the middle of the cake. Yum!
Gosh I am behind the times! Very belated congratulations Huma!!!
These are beautiful! I made an un-iced four tier sponge wedding cake with jam and buttercream dressed with fresh flowers for a friend's country garden wedding and with good doweling it was structurally sound enough to be displayed outside in some pretty strong winds!
I love decorating cakes but I have to say their is something so very pretty about the simplicity of a sponge cake without icing.
From as a long as I can remember, I've never been able to walk down a road without being distracted by trying to look through windows to see how other people have done up their homes. It's not that I'm not nosey (honest), it's just that I love interiors, not just for their style, but for what they say about people too. I regularly write about design and style for the newspapers, but I also write about lots and lots of other random stuff too. You can see my professional work here but this blog is mostly just for fun.
