Hi Victoria
I don't know if I've missed the boat on your wedding date: but you should try http://gracecakes.co.uk/ - she does a surprisingly good vegan sponge cake, and I'm sure she can help.

hello from maryland!
can you please tell me what the symbol A with a ^ means in your sponge cake recipe?
we've tried to find this symbol, but i'm afraid we haven't been able to decipher how it fits in the recipe. is it an abbreviation for "or"?
thanks for your help!

Hi, this sounds a very good recipe but I have had no success making a vegan sponge. I need a recipe that would be suitable for a 3 tier wedding cake: how to graduate the ingredients to larger sizes and how successful this is likely to be. I do not wish to waste ingredients and I do not wish to let my bride down with a cake that is terrible, both in taste and appearance. I should be most grateful if you could possibly help me as the date of the wedding is drawing nearer every day. Or could you perhaps supply me with a website that makes these kinds of cakes. I should be most grateful if you would let me know asap as the date of the wedding is drawing nearer every day. Thank you for your time. Kind regards.
