I have family members who absolutely love Victoria Sponge out of any cakes the plain sponge is their ultimate favourite. This weekend was all about family time which is great. <\/p>\n

I always get excited about making 3 layer cakes. I found them so sophisticated and look so elegant. The extra layer is also that bit extra of cake too, so what’s not to like?? The only problem with 3 tier cakes is they are quite hard to keep stable espically is the cake is very moist, which I soon found out. My cake slice started to tumble luckily I took the photos when it wasn’t a complete disaster.<\/p>\n
