Victoria Sponge Cake competition

[UCM]

Who wants to enter here please. This will be fab. Now we have to find some judges. I think we should put thread in chat and ask someone to judge based on their credentials Obviously they will be only looking at a pic not tasting. We need rules as well??? Good idea or not.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh KAA I'm loving your olde worlde scales and Rayburn. Very respectful display of your VSC also.

Nice choice of baking music too

Right ladies. DP has just asked if I have sent pictures of my cake out (with tut tut you sad woman silent undertones). I have denied it (well I am currently not lying). So please ladies whenever DP is in the room can we have a bit of hush.....

I'm completely shtumn
[emoticon with two little eyes looking up and no mouth at all]

(just so we all have our story straight, what would you like us to say that you have been doing SMS if not photographing cake)

Cleaning the kitchen.....

...and then messing it up again

Question - do you lick the bowl yourself, or give it to the children? I lick mine, and tell the children fibs about that every bit of mixture went in the oven!

righto.

I am currently still researching tents.

tigi, DC get a beater each and the bowl.

I get the spatula.

Nah -licking the bowl is banned in my house - raw eggs and all. Don't know why really as we used to do it when we were kids.

They licked the bowl that I made my creamy raspberry jam in though,.

my cake is there.

Your cake looks lovely - I'll be using golden castor sugar too, why do you say it may have been your downfall?

If I make the cake when dd is at school, I lick the bowl (can't let all that yummy mix go to waste!) If she's home she has most of it and I have a tiny bit! These cakes are all looking too yummy! With all this practice we'll all be entering our village shows!!

I've uploaded mine here!

there is nothing to see here....don't know who did that

Oh and please forgive my pesentation. I havn't been able to ge rid of DP long enough to stage anything properly. Still - it is hte cake that counts

Where have all the cakes gone?

cakes are back. And looking goooooooood.

Any sunday entries??

I'm doing another one in a minute, but it will have butter cream in it. Resigned to losing marks to keep BIL happy

I'll be entering today hopefully!

Oooookkkaaaayyyy..have just looked in the album and i see several rules violations. ROFL. May i suggest extra points for creative violations?

What's the deadline today for an entry? Kids are off to MIL after lunch, so can hopefully get some pics of my entry up then.

midnight?

More in the oven!!!

Mine are in the oven. I used Hugh F-W's method & interestingly (to me anyway) it threw out Nigella's weights so I can't wait to see how it tirns out,

I would like to state that I have not violated rules. I have used my sciency know-how to genetically modify my raspberries to make an opaque cream jam

Ha! I'm a cheat and I don't care!
Check out my illegal entry baked to the romantic sounds of Radio 2's sunday lurrvvee songs.
