A lovely and easy to make fresh cream strawberry Gateau, as requested by my niece Eden for her 9th birthday! I made a victoria sponge, then whipped up the cream adding some vanilla extract and a tablespoon of icing sugar. This gives the cream a lighter and slightly sweeter taste. I added strawberries to the middle and top of the cake and voila the Gateau is finished! Strawberry Birthday Gateau  

Here is my entry for the Fairtrade Banana bread bake-off at Kingston University. I used as many Fairtrade  ingredients as I could including bananas, chocolate and sugar.   Fairtrade products mean high quality, ethically sourced products.  Banana bread with chocolate chips Look out for this symbol when you  are next in a supermarket  Why is Fairtrade important?

One of my favourite mini birthday cakes to make. Loaf style Victoria sponge, decorated with handmade edible roses and piped butter icing.
