A cheesecake is not a cake!



For my final Jubilee post, I want to let you all know how bitter I am that I came second in a cake competition...  to a cheesecake!

A cheesecake is not a cake!  It  is a pudding!  The offending cheesecake can be seen right here...

                                                                                            This is my cake

My cake was (as always!) a Mary Berry sponge cake.  I was very excited, because I had been feeding my baking addiction at Lakeland (I love Lakeland) and bought a Victoria Surprise Cake set I'd had my eye on for a loooooooooooong time!

Click on the picture if you want to look at it in the website.  I'd advise using baking parchment because otherwise it sticks no matter how much you grease it.

I filled it with raspberries and whipped cream, topped it with white chocolate buttercream and my lovely boyfriend made a fab Union Jack on top with fruit.

It must have been good because after the judging it was absolutely devoured - I didn't even get a piece!
