"Haven't baked this cake yet but it looks absolutely yummy. I'd like to know whether this cake could handle rolled fondant as I want to bake it for a birthday cake gift. OOOH YUM!!!"

Bakingmad: "We would not advise covering this cake with ready rolled icing as it is a very light sponge. I would recommend a Victoria sponge mixture or a maderia cake mixture instead. I hope this helps "
