This easy lemon layer cake recipe can be whipped up in no time at all.
Do you have time to peek at a cake I made for Great British Chefs recently?
I was really up against the clock for my time is short during school holidays when Ted is off.
Excuse the clock puns for this piece of work was celebrating a new crockery range for Cath Kidston.
You can read the recipe and see more pictures of my work both on the Great British Chefs and Cath Kidston websites.
I was inspired by my recent post on naked wedding cakes to present this as a bare cake with edible decoration. I really am of a mind that sugarpaste is officially over.

Looks gorgeous. Thank you for linking to me 🙂

This looks gorgeous and very elegant with the simple topping, I’ve never really been a big fan of sugar paste and even my sugar paste loving bloke is now more in favour of buttercream, shame he’s not really much of a lemon fan though!

Wow, I am not a cakey person and I am always put off by cakes with a lot of yucky stuff on the top for the sake of decoration, this is simply beautiful. Oh by the way I make a mean tarte au citron :))
