NIGELLAS WITH ATTITUDE 2: VICTORIA SANDWICH

This year, in a twist on the conventional instructions, we would like a Victoria Sandwich which pays tribute to your favourite Victoria. It could be Queen Victoria. It could be the fine blogging powers of my colleague Victoria.  Just make that cake earn its keep. 

Even amongst the genius of the Emsworth Show, there are further levels of genius. This is one of them. Check this out, from Happy Mouffetard. She says "I've now completed the entry for the Victoria sandwich - it's "Victoria's Secret" sandwich. I did toy with the idea of a Victoria Beckham sandwich but decided that Posh Spice and cakes were mutually incompatible.". Teee heee! It's brilliant! Can you top it?????

29th August, update

Just when we thought it couldn't be beaten, Lia L comes in with a wicked entry.... look at this!! She writes, "This is my faithful depiction of Balmoral Castle, favourite haunt of one Queen Victoria, in chocolate cake (please note the jelly baby sentries detailing). I baked it especially for Emsworth, of course, and then all these hungry looking children in party outfits mysteriously appeared." Well, that can happen.

6th Sept FINAL UPDATE

Now of course it should be clear by now that the Emsworth Show has a suitably relaxed attitude to 'rules' for a show that was taken to Woodstock Festival in its carrycot.

But I hope no one accuses me of too much bending when i submit this entry, some cupcakes made by my mum's godchild Gabriel, who is really good at icing IMHO.


And Vp had to keep up a fine old tradition of trying to enter every category, hence these, "is this the ultimate Victoria Sandwich? 3 luscious beauties, full of plumptiousness."
