Christening cake

Here is little Ethan's christening cake :)

The recipe is from BBC good food and is FANTASTIC - just the right texture for a large cake as it's deliciously moist and just the right mixture between a madeira and a sponge. I've successfully scaled it up to a 12" round and also scaled it to do a 9" and 7" as here and it always comes out a treat - rises just enough to give a lovely light texture but not so much you have to cut loads off the height to get a flat surface (although offcuts are never a problem for the chef, or indeed the husband of the chef ;)).

The little dude also took a casual selfie last weekend when he was playing with my phone... had to put it in cos it's so cute!

He's not quite got the hang of the photography yet...!
