Caramelised satsuma cake, raspberry and blueberry meringue layer cake and chocolate tart

Wednesday, June 13, 2012
All these cakes made yesterday - and none were to celebrate our business's 6th birthday - they were all for a  buffet lunch delivery along with a host of savoury items at which our local mayor was one of the guests.
Caramelised satsuma cake
This caramelised satsuma cake is just another time when I really wanted to be one of the guests at the lunches we do rather than being on the other side - it just smelt sooooooooo good. Should make a second smaller one next time for us. Used this recipe - but forgot about the satsumas being on the top and layered them in the bottom of the tin - works for me though!

 Possibly not the most photogenic once the lid is on, but the one that made the most lasting effect on the guests - the first thing that was mentioned when I went back later to collect the dishes. Another variation on this recipe - I made a long one as it had to go round 20 people.

As cakes go - this was quite a winner. Just a shame it was for someone else.......
Originally inspired by this lemon meringue layer cake as I was browsing for ideas, I then found Nigella's recipe as I was flicking through books on the shelf and just adapted that with a cream cheese/ marscapone filling.
