Basic cake ideas
These are all just basic sponge cakes. Most of them will be yellow or pale yellow depending on whether or not I decided to go with ones that have more egg yolks. Sponge cakes may be one to three layers thick and filled with anything from whipped cream to jelly fillings. There may be multiple tiers or a simple, single tiered cake.
Toppings may include chocolate shavings, whole or sliced fruit and fruit spreads to name a few. No sponge cake will be exactly like another in design. Most of them will have powdered sugar sprinkled on top of them.
Sets will include a cake with a slice removed from it, or four servings of the cake depending on what kind of dessert I make with it. Desserts will include straight sponge cake with fruits and a simple glaze, Swiss rolls/jelly rolls, ladyfingers/tiramisu, frosted layered cakes, a version of strawberry shortcake, Victoria sponge cakes and chocolate sponge cakes.
Fruits I might use include but are not limited to: lemon, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, marionberry, orange, lime, fig, pear, apple, banana, blood orange, gooseberry, etc. I will try to scent each cake to match what is inside of it.
