Kerstin putting the finishing touches to her Rainbow Cake

Kerstin Rodgers very kindly offered to host a CCC event at her Underground Restaurant in Kilburn.

I didn’t exactly count, but there was a very nice little group of about 18-19 people, plus Kerstin, Myself, Jennifer from Woman’s Hour and Sarah - our invaluable help and Tea maker for the day, and about 13 cakes. All very keen bakers and lovers of all things cake. All the cakes were different in many ways, although with a theme ‘Cake Porn’, chocolate cakes were much in evidence. Yet each one had different flavours and coverings, including one with Bounty Bars on top and one with a Salted Caramel Filling. All delicious.

Cakes in abundance with some wonderful chocolate cakes

Cherries and Chocolate, a great combination
