Oh, of course.

Seriously?

You think I'd make a cake that collapsed and then take photos of it? How very peculiar.

But feel free to pass disparaging comments about a cake you've never seen, knock yourself out if it makes you feel better about being wrong.

Just to answer any queries I just want a fondant iced cake upon which I will be placing a rice paper topper, so hopefully a sponge cake will be ok.

When I fondant ice I use a madeira sponge recipe, for the type of cake lynseydee is talking about a victoria would be fine, but for the beehive I definitely would have used madeira.

I'm no baker but I was always told that a Victoria sponge was best eaten that day as its low fat content means it dries out quicker than other sponges. So for that reason I would use a Madeira recipe as I'm unlikely to decorate a cake with fondant the same day I'm eating it.
