I was berated by my sister for not posting enough photographs of my birthday cake after it took her so long to make. I apologise, but I've have to edit all the photos to get the colour right since the kitchen insists on being so bloody orange. Plus I was planning on posting more once I'd done that. Therefore, when I see you next, there's a giant raspberry being blown your way.
Anyway, to satisfy my sisters need to photographic proof that she made a good cake, here are some pictures from during its creation...
Vanilla icing with real vanilla paste, so it was lovely and speckled
Raspberry icing which had fresh raspberry purée mixed through it.
I have to say the layers with pink raspberry icing & the jam were really nice together, it helped to knock the sweetness, which should, I think have been dampened by the lemon which was meant to be in the cake. I'm not keen on lemon in cakes, so Sarah left it out.
Have to say this definitely beats the traditional Vicky sponge we normally make for my birthday...though mum making one into a giant butterfly cake full of summer fruit, was also immense.
Enough photos? If not, blame your own photographic ability, not mine. There's only so much editing photoshop can do! :P

No! Still not enough! I demand all the photos be shared with your readership so that my immense baking prowess might be acknowledged to the level it deserves!
Seriously, the photos look great, kudos on your colour-tweaking abilities. Happy birthday +3 xxx
