If I knew you were coming...

I'd have baked a cake!

Oh wait, I did!

Made this for my brother, it was his birthday at the weekend.

Jim's Very Berry Cake

Standard victoria sponge with mascarpone and cream filling with homemade mixed berry jam and a mascarpone and cream topping with huge Spanish strawberries.

It was great!!!!!!!!

Yo Jimbo

Nice one with the cake, although cooking in the all together can bring its own hazards. Don't dangle to close or else things tend to get burnt

Lisa, There is a stranger in town! (and they don't come much stranger!) You want to be careful whats been in the filling!

Geez HalfBaked76, first it was you rambling on about some metrosexual cologne (I always took you for a scratch and sniff kind of guy) then you asked if I was coming and showed a picture with swollen red things on top of a cake. Well there goes the PG-13 rating! Guess the cake is a Cumquat Cake?

It does look good and it seems you and Si are vying for second place ole' chaps.
