Raspberry and Vanilla Butterfly Cakes



These are vanilla sponge cakes made with vanilla sugar, the tops have been cut out and the piece taken out is cut into two pieces to create the 'butterfly wings', the well left behind is filled with really good seedless raspberry jam, whipped vanilla cream is then piped on, the 'wings' and a whole raspberry are arranged on top and the whole thing dusted with icing sugar.

Trev's Tasty Tip
I am lucky enough to be able to grow my own raspberries, I collect the beautiful little red jewels on a daily basis and pop them straight into an open container in the freezer, when they are solid I transfer them to a lidded container. It is easier to handle the frozen raspberries when using them to decorate cakes and other gorgeous things to eat.



I'll put the recipe here very soon, for now, I must get back to the kitchen, some other little Tasty Treats need my attention...
