Yumminess in Heaven - not for a waspy waistline

More yummy cakes... some bakers claimed that their cakes were 'catastrophes' and some were second attempts but they all looked magnificent full of Autumn mellow fruitfulness and and all tasted pretty moreish to me.  As there were nine cakes, it was a feat to eat, but I tackled it in three sessions, helped along with rosé wine and Earl Grey tea. Extremely civilised!
Gorgeous Caramel with Quetsches, blackberries and other fruits had an amazing contrast of textures, beautifully presented.
Cider cake with sultanas inside and apples on top was like a steamed sponge sultana pudding needing English custard! Brilliant as I'd never had this sort of cake before!
This one had a layer of cherries sticking to the base... deeeelissshous!
Full of fruits from hedgerows and garden....gluten free and healthy!
This was yummy too... although someone joked in a complimentary way about the foam mousse, I love its voluptuousness.





Oranges heightened the taste of this textured Grasmere ginger cake!
Almonds, lemon and elderflower with a lemony cheesey drizzle. Heaven!
Gosh... a sugar fruit fest!!!!!!! Black, red and mellowlelloyello!
