Royal Wedding and a Red White and Blue-berry Cake!

Me and Beebz excitedly and tearfully watched the Royal wedding this morning, curled up and cosy on the sofa. I was very much looking forward to the whole event and eagerly awaited the bride and her dress, Its probably because I'm a twenty something year old female, as I'm not particularly a fan of the monarchy, but I was captivated by the whole pomp, splendor and ceremony of the whole event. There was something romantic and genuine about the grand union of Prince Charming and and Ms Middleton. She looked every bit the elegant princess. Jealous!
Whilst the hymns did drag on they were a convenient way to zip in the kitchen and bake up my own wedding cake...

 Red, White and Blueberry Sandwich Cake. 
I wanted to make a cake to celebrate a British occasions and honored the union jack colours.

Not quite as impressive as William and Kate's Little 9 nine tier number but my humble cake was simple, moist and delicious.
