Four sausage rolls - made using Cranston’s Sausage Meat
(empty wrapper to be staged with entry)
69
Battenberg - made from a set recipe
For the Cake:- 175g /6oz soft margarine, 175g/ 6oz caster sugar, 3 eggs, 175g/ 6oz Self
Raising Flour,
1/2 tsp vanilla essence, red food colouring paste,
For the Covering:- 6 tablespoons apricot jam, 500g / 1lb 2oz ready-made marzipan, 2 -3
tablespoons caster sugar for rolling.
1. Grease a 20cm/ 8" square cake tin. Take a 30cm x 20cm / 12" x 8" strip of baking
parchment and make a 8cm 3" fold in the centre. This will create a division in the cake so
that the two differently coloured sponges can be cooked at the same time. Line the tin with
baking parchment keeping the division in the centre.
2. Put margarine, sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla in a bowl and beat together until well
combined. Transfer half the mix to one half of the baking tin and then add some red food
colouring to the other portion of mixture, mix well and put in the other side of the baking
tin. Smooth the surface.
3. Bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes or until the sponges have risen. Cool in the tin for 5
minutes and then turn on to a wire rack to cool. If the sponges have risen unevenly press
the surface gently until level, leave until completely cold.
4. To assemble the cake, place one cake on top of another and trim off the crusty edges so
that they are both the same size. Cut the sponges in half lengthways to make four long
rectangles. Warm the apricot jam and pass through a fine sieve. Brush the long side of one
of the sponges with jam and sandwich together with a sponge of contrasting colour. Do the
same with the other two sponges. Sandwich the two pairs of sponges together like a
chequerboard and brush the top and sides with jam. Roll the marzipan into a rectangle of
about 40cm x 20cm/16" x 10". It should be large enough to enclose the cake completely
leaving the ends exposed and be about 5mm/1/4 inch thick. Turn the cake upside down onto
the marzipan and brush the underside of the sponges with jam. Wrap the marzipan round
the cake pressing it gently on to the surface of the sponges and press the edges together to
make a firm join. Turn back over with the seam underneath - trim a thin slice off each end
to neaten. Crimp the two top edges between finger and thumb if desired.

4. Place on a lightly greased baking tray sugar side up. Press a fork once across each

CHARLOTTE’S DOG
Daniel the spaniel has ears like rugs,
Teeth like prongs of electric plugs
His back’s a thundery winter sky,
Black clouds, white clouds rumbling by
His nose is the rubber of an old squashed ball
Bounced in the rain. His tail you’d call
A chopped off rope with a motor inside
That keeps it walloping. Red rimmed – eyed,
He whimpers like plimsolls on a wooden floor.
When he yawns he closes a crimson door.
When he barks it’s a shark of a sound that bites
Through frosty mornings and icy nights.
When he sleeps he wheezes on a dozing lung
Then he wakes you too with a wash of his tongue!

DEAR MUM
Dear Mum
While you were out
A cup went and broke itself,
A crack appeared in the blue vase
Your great – great grandad
Brought back from Mr Ming in China.
Somehow, without me turning on the tap,
the sink mysteriously over flowed.
A strange jam – stain,
About the size of a boy’s hand,
appeared on the kitchen wall.
I don’t think we will ever discover
Exactly how the cat
Managed to turn on the washing machine
(specially from the inside),
or how Sis’s pet rabbit went and mistook
the waste disposal unit for a burrow.
I can tell you I was scared when,
As if by magic,
A series of muddy footprints
Appeared on the new white carpet.
I was being good
(honest!)
but I think the house is haunted so,
knowing you’re going to have a fit,
I’ve gone over to Gran’s for a bit.
