Cake Off!

So I'm entering a modest baking competition this weekend to raise money for the local animal shelter.
I've decided to enter the 'sponge' category, I've made sponges before so thought I'd stand a better chance at it going right, but I didn't just want to do a normal Victoria sponge.
So its going to be sponge roullade instead!
It's a Victoria sponge with strawberry jam and vanilla cream with strawberry pieces.
There are so many things that could of gone wrong while making this, (I've had bad experiences with whipping cream before), but thankfully it all turned out all right, and it tastes pretty good too!
All I have to worry about now is being able to replicate it in a few days time.





I also made some chocolate orange pin wheel cookies. These aren't being entered into the competition but I felt like doing them anyway.
