Personal recipe with fruit cocktail twist.
Variations in flavour with the same recipe, trying to not bore my friends and family of the same old same old thing:
Cream and fruit topping of fruit cocktail and honey dew melon slices, with fresh cut strawberries from the garden. Two tone flavoured cake; chocolate base and plain top, drizzled with diced strawberry syrup.
Still experimenting with alcohol measure in cake recipe; Baileys egg roll with liqueur cream and liqueur chocolate syrup.
Egg roll with fruit cocktail, vanilla fresh cream, topped with chopped nuts (given to my mother as Christmas present).
Made for my mother's 60th, a little rushed so not perfect; sandwiched permisson fruit syrup, smothered in fresh cream, topped with crunchy caramel swishes and fresh cut permisson slices.
Belated birthday cake, timed it for the weekend, so family could eat it all. Plain sandwiched double layered berry cake; fresh cream topped with sliced strawberries and blueberries drizzled with almond flavoured syrup, decorated with chocolate "Flake" and more sliced strawberries. I should make this in summer; should steal berries from our own garden, they are so overpriced in supermarkets out of season.
My favourite; chocolate roll with chocolate fresh cream filling, laced with black cherries and kirsch syrup, topped with chocolate dusting. A hit with the rest of the family and friends.
