Hey everyone! My name is Georgina and I am guest posting here on Lauras blog today! I blog over at www.georginadoes.co.uk if you fancy checking it out!

When I was thinking what to guest post about, it was about 3pm during an afternoon lull and all I could think about was cake. So I decided to write this post on my favourite cakes. I got really into it and the whole afternoon flew by. I love cake.

When I was younger, it was chocolate, chocolate and chocolate. I wouldn’t even bother trying any other flavoured cake because I knew I wouldn’t like it but as I’ve gotten older I am much more adventurous and am the first to try an interesting new flavour – and usually am trying to convince Andrew to taste it too. He’s still majorly into his chocolate fudge cakes, but for me, a heavy chocolate cake now just gives me indigestion and acid reflux. Not what I want with my afternoon treat.

Victoria Sponge

When it comes to classic cakes – I love a Victoria sponge. I love the fluffy homemade version with thick cream and jam and I love to eat that sort of cake outside in a garden or a tea room – It’s light, fruity, and quintessentially British. The other way I really enjoy a Victoria sponge is when it comes in the form of a kid’s birthday cake. I love the thick plastic white icing and the dense cream and jam in these!

French Fancies

Just before I got to work on coming up with the title for the post. I came across Mr Kipling on twitter when my love for French fancies all came rushing back to me! As I said before, as a kid, I just assumed I would only like the chocolate one so that’s all I ate but since the lemon one is usually the only one left on the plate and I had to eat it because it was the only one left, I have realised that I spend my whole childhood missing out on the best flavour. I’m growing up!

Cupcakes

I never went through that weird cupcake phase that a lot of bloggers did – of course I love a cupcake now and then but only from the Hummingbird Bakery (or Lolas if there isn’t a HB nearby.) My fave is the red velvet from Hummingbird and I also quite like it as a slice of red velvet from their amazing range of cakes! As I’m sure with most people the first time I visited the store, I went straight in for a slice of their super amazing looking rainbow cake but for some reason the white unassuming icing is actually bubble gum flavoured which I wasn’t a fan of.

When it comes to my other favourites, I love an Angel cake, Tottenham cakes mmmm and Jaffa cakes of course! Do they count? I certainly eat enough of them.
