"I didn't dare to slice my cake so thinly so I made it with traditional 2 sponge layers. I added extra coffee as it was a birthday cake for my husband. Very tasty but the coffee butter cream was quite sickly so no huge portions!"

"I made this for New Years Eve, I cooked my very expensive fillet which was very fat, longer than 20 mins before covering it with the filling and pastry. It looked fantastic when it came out of the oven however even 35 mins cooking meant the middle was still very rare, one of my guests likes his meat well done so had to put his slice under the grill. I felt it needed more mushrooms and was quite tricky to slice and look presentable on the plate.However I would give it another go when I can afford the beef fillet!"
