British / Jubilee cake!



This one was done in British spirit to share with my friends after fantastic BBQ. It is simple but tasty.

 
 
Firstly I baked three sponges - plain, blue and red. To keep it simple cake was glued together with buttercream and jam. Whole cake is later covered with buttercream and white icing.
 

3 x Bake sponges

200g of sugar

200g of self-rising flour

200g of butter

1 table spoon of baking soda

3 table spoon of water

1 tea spoon of vanilla essence

Food coloring (red and blue)

Also

                                Jam – raspberry

                                Ready to roll icing – white

                                Hard boiled sweets – to be melted and shaped in silicone molds 10ps

               

 
 
Buttercream (2x75g of butter + 2x175g of icing sugar +4 table spoon of milk and 1 tea spoons of vanilla essence + lemon zest)

 

Melt hard boiled sweets in silicone forms – stars and hearts - with some food coloring. Allow cooling. Color up some icing in red and blue. Roll it out and cut out the triangle shapes.

Cooled hearts and stars place on the cake.  Cover the board with British flag icing next – slowly cover spaces with white and red stripes then blue fields in between.  Follow up with white and red icing banner around the bottom edge of the cake. At last - take blue and red triangle shapes – flags -  and place them on the top of the cake.

And there ii is! Modest British cake!
