Great British Bake Off BBC2

[YORKO]

This is a bit of a long shot but last week on the above show good old Mary Berry made a french cake made with sponge, creme patiserie and a marzipan top that had strawberies around the sides.

I would like to make this and cant find the recipie on their website. Does anyone know what this cake was so I can look for it.

Ta much

I watched it but didn't record it and can't recall exact name; sorry! Looks like they haven't updated the website yet. Have you tried i-Player?

Minim you are a genius, I never even thought of that. I will have a trial run next weekend so I dont make a t*t of myself on Christmas night when it all goes wrong and falls to bits when sliced

BTW it doesnt sound very french does it :thinking:

I think this is what you're looking for :hi:

Not especially French ingredients but very 'patisserie'

Yes but a little of what you fancy does you good

I drooled over that cake, too. Just let me know when it's ready, Yorko, and I'll pop round and put the kettle on. :tongue:

I wondered if the name 'Fraisier' was originally 'fraise', because of the strawberries? We Brits have a long history of nicking perfectly good names from other languages and mangling them!

 

[Frazzled]

Sounds delicious Yorko, good luck getting 12 strawberries all the same height!!

That looks amazing but I agree getting identical strawberries, and cutting the sponge accurately, might be a challenge to me.
Could you post a photograph and tell us how you get on - or post us all a slice!!!!!!
