I made these little gems of cake for my friend Lorna's birthday in Cambridge and I think it would correct to say they went down well.
A birthday beauty is a vanilla sponge with strawberry chopped and added to the batter. They are pretty damn tasty. You can apparently make lemon and chocolate versions also.
However the real beauty in the birthday beauty is in the icing! I went to town and made some pretty vibrant fondant icings and put jelly sweets on top (conveniently forgetting that my oldest friend doesn't eat gelatine ... oops). So light sponge and a whole heap of sugar - too much possibly for a Thursday night!
One friend of Lorna's ate his third cake, got up for a fag, announcing he had to have one after "great sex and great food" - check that out Wagman!!!
