Day 8

Todays cake grew along the way I knew I wanted to make a sponge as today I was making a cake for my friend Lisa's birthday but no pressure.

I made the 3 minute sponge but then felt the cake would need extra layers so I repeated it. In between the layers of cake I put a lemon cream then covered the top with passion fruit icing it was a little runnier than I had planned so it drizzled down the sides but I wasn't unhappy with the way it look in the end. I just hope it was as yummy as it looked.
