This is so wonderful to hear! I hope you enjoyed making them. Thank you for dropping me a note, it's great to know people are baking along with my content!
@Bake Well Being I made them. The preserve I used was a blackcurrant jam and the results were great. Got out 12 exactly. Had 2 at my local Coronation picnic event today :)
Hey! Thanks for dropping by. Yes - I have frozen the buttercream and sponge separately before and it has worked perfectly. Not sure about the jam but I expect that should be fine too! I hope you enjoy making them
Hey Theo, you can use granulated sugar if you can't get your hands on caster sugar but it might make the sponge a bit denser and less fluffy, though definitely worth a try and let me know how it turns out! If you have a food processor or blender you can also break the granulated sugar down in that to make it a bit finer to get a closer result to caster sugar. And yes my oven is Celsius! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Thomas, you can definitely do it that way too! I just find the sponge, before being sliced in half, is sometimes a bit too thick for my cutter to easily manage.
Too much eggs? That's a lot of butter and flour. Of course you need a good amount of eggs for that batter but the sugar can be adjusted. You can reduce it to 240 - 250. If that's still sweet from you, I suggest making cloud cakes. Many recipes out there for that.
Making these for the Coronation. Made a normal sized one for the Platinum Jubilee last year, so thought to give these mini ones a go.

That's wonderful to hear. Thank you for commenting :)
😂😂😂 thats a good measure of how long you need to mix for
what baking butter do you use please?
I use the brand Stork but you can find many alternatives if you look for margarine butter. Hope this is helpful, enjoy the bake!
This looks lovely. Did u use the Ikea roasting tray?
Thank you so much! I sure did 😁
Hello just wondered will they freeze ok?
Hey! Thanks for dropping by. Yes - I have frozen the buttercream and sponge separately before and it has worked perfectly. Not sure about the jam but I expect that should be fine too! I hope you enjoy making them
@@bakewellbeing Hi just to let you know I froze them complete and they tasted just as good.
Can I use regular granulated sugar? Also is it safe to assume your oven temp is in Celsius?
Hey Theo, you can use granulated sugar if you can't get your hands on caster sugar but it might make the sponge a bit denser and less fluffy, though definitely worth a try and let me know how it turns out! If you have a food processor or blender you can also break the granulated sugar down in that to make it a bit finer to get a closer result to caster sugar. And yes my oven is Celsius!

Instead of cutting the large sponge in half would it not be better to use the cutter then half it. Thanks
Hi Thomas, you can definitely do it that way too! I just find the sponge, before being sliced in half, is sometimes a bit too thick for my cutter to easily manage.
To much sugar ,to much eggs ,no healthy for me ❤️
