Eaten and enjoyed over the whole world.

Cakes and gateauxEven those of us who don’t have a sweet tooth will normally always have a cake they will enjoy. From a light fruit cake to a rich one with plenty of alcohol to preserve it for many months eg. Christmas cake, Easter cake and wedding cake. A lovely chocolate cream cake, a cheese cake, victoria cake sandwiched together with jam and cream, apple cake, banana cake, swiss roll, eccles cakes, scones etc. etc. etc. And from every cake their will often be many different recipes, take a simple chocolate cake, who would ever think of making one with mayonnaise instead of margarine, it’s delicious, you will find the recipe in our recipe files.

The preperation and ingredients of cakes can differ immensely depending on the cake, for example a swiss roll has no fat, the eggs are whisked to incorporate as much air as possible. Some cakes have a higher propotion of flour than others, some cakes are made with plain flour others need extra baking powder added to self raising flour.
Gateaux tend to be more fancy, more trouble is taken on the presentation, and they will often be served after a special dinner, or when trying to impress!
