What have you baked today?

Thanks Basically what I did was make a Victoria sponge mix. So for 2 layers I used 6oz of Stork (tub, not block version), 6oz of white caster sugar beating them together until they are very pale, then added in 3 eggs and folded in 6oz flour. I divided them into two bowls and using Wilton colours (you only need the primary colours, I used poppy red, buttercup yellow and royal blue) and mixed them carefully without knocking out the air - you need about 1/4 teaspoon, maybe less as it doesn't take much. Filled/levelled 2 x 20cm/8" tins and baked on gas mark 3 for about 18 minutes. Repeat this again twice so you have 6 colours (red/pink end up the same so it's pointless baking 2 layers).
I filled mine with vanilla buttercream replacing milk with double cream to make it extra indulgent and dyed it the same colour as the sponges
Hope that helps!
I kind of want to make another one now!

I have satisfied my epic need to make bread (as you do), so here's the bakes today: granary mini loaves, Cornish saffron buns and Chelsea buns (to be iced).

Frugalsod

Just a single loaf. But I did bake it from scratch.
