"This recipe is FANTISTIC! I used it on my NVQL3 Catering course as a final assesment in pastry. I changed alot to be honest to make it my own. Instead of the raspberries on top. i sealed a cake tin around the cake, made a raspberry coulis with gelatine and poured it down onto the cake and chilled it until it set. i had a beautiful and unusual design on the top! i then piped 8 little cream swirls to mark out the portions, placed a rasperry on top of each one, then i caramelised eight lemon wedges, and slanted them over the top of the raspberry. i have some wonderful pictures of the cake id love to show you but i cant find a link to upload them onto. i also made the cake for my sisters 11th birthday. she loved it!
