Apple and Cinnamon Crumble Cake
A couple of years ago I visited Hampton Court Palace with some of my family and had one of the tastiest slices of an Apple Crumble Cake. This got me thinking, combining a dessert with a cake was such a great idea! It is a great alternative to a normal sponge by adding the crumble layer…

You may wonder where my inspiration comes from for my bakes; well the answer is you guys! I enjoy the challenge of baking celebration cakes that truly represent the person the cake is for.
