Now To Start On The Cake!

There are two types of people: those who walk into a room and say,"Well, here I am," and those who walk into a room and say, "Ah, there you are." - Frederick Collins.
Welcome to my Baking Thursday 🍰

Now let's get on with it....
Kenny comes out for a little play..
First part of the cake goes in the oven.
Second one gets made.
While the Purple, Blue, sponges are cooling in, the green one goes in the oven.
While I am doing all this, my son get's his A-level results.
Maths - A
 Chemistry - B
 Astro Physics Adv - B
He is not happy about them.
I am so proud of him!
(If I got results like him,
I would be doing the funky chicken in the front garden!)
Light lunch time.
My cake board has been delivered elsewhere...
Here we go again!
Has fun try to explain it was delivered wrong!
I sent a picture of my house, and that's not in their picture!
20 minutes later, a worker from the factory pictured, comes delivers my parcel!
Thank you I say!
I put the 3 layers on the cake board with strawberry frosting.
Now to make the final 3 coloured sponges.
Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one πŸ’‹
I was waiting for the yellow one to cool down.
The final red sponge was in the oven baking.

Now to finish the first part of the cake.
Each part of the cake is coloured and flavoured:
Red - Cherry Bakewell
Orange - Orange
