Victoria Sponge

I changed the recipe alittle but it came out perfectly! I stuck with the ingredients etc, just when it came to baking I didnt put a tray with water in the oven and I cooked for 25mins on gas mark 4. When it came to the whipped cream I added 1tbsp of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I have got to say it turned out as one of the yummiest cakes I have ever made/eaten! -


Lemon Cupcakes

The cake is lovely, the lemon curd sinks into the cake whilst cooking and makes a gooey center mmm. I didnt have a lemon so missed out adding it but did add another tsp of vanilla extract as the mixture looked quite thick and to be honest it didnt miss the lemon as the lemon curd was enough for me. The topping however was a failure this might be down to my inexperience of making meringue as the recipe says you need to watch them as they burn if left under the grill for to long I kept an eye on them and they lightly browned but the middle was raw. On the whole would make these cakes again but wouldnt bother with the topping so making them gooey lemon cakes which are yummy! -


Wedding Favour Cookies

Chilling the dough for the stated time works well although I found the shapes curlying at the end before I baked them but no problem just pushed them down and they baked flat. This recipe came out like shortbread flavor but not as crumbly as shortbread. I did add another 1/2 to 1tsp or vanilla just because I like the flavor. All in all an excellent easy to follow recipe and will be using for our wedding favors! -
