THIS was probably the stand-out cake in terms of design.
The kids were so excited by it.
The sponge was light and tasty and the jam was perfectly sweet.

THE icing on this overly sweet bake separated from the cake when I tried to cut it, which was annoying.
It says serves 16, but I would say 12.

SMALLER than most of the others but it had a lovely flavour, especially the buttercream.
And it lasted a good few days before going stale.

COULD have done with a little more jam, but actually I really enjoyed this moreish treat.
These would definitely make a nice addition to any Euro party spread.

THIS simple vanilla sponge filled with buttercream and fruity jam really hit the spot.
It is soft and sugary, but not too sweet.
Not the easiest to cut, but a great value option.

Star Player Cake

I LIKED the appearance but the sponge was a bit dry and went stale very quickly.
The icing was incredibly sweet.
A good price, but I probably wouldn’t choose this again.

HIDDEN inside this white and milk chocolate treat is an edible trophy and shortcake balls.
The cake itself is a layered madeira sponge.
