The theme for our latest Clandestine Cake Club was 'Feels Like Summer'. I thought about this for a while, but in the end I decided that strawberries say Summer to me, far more than anything else I could think of and what better to make with strawberries than make an eton mess. Eton mess in a cake, eton mess in a cake, hmmmmmm?

"What the heck" I thought, "I'll pile the eton mess on top of a cake!".

So there you have it, a Victoria Sponge filled with freshly made raspberry jam and cream; then topped with eton mess and finished of with a crown of strawberries and a homemade meringue hairdo.

I cannot tell you the amount of trouble this cake gave me. I don't know what it is, but baking for cake club is always a bit fraught....
