Interview with Victoria Sandwich<br />

ARTea Room offers one of<br />

the finest selection of homemade<br />

cakes in the area. The<br />

Victoria Sandwich, with its royal<br />

connections, has earned the<br />

reputation of being one of the<br />

most popular cakes.<br />

Victoria, why did Queen Victoria give you your<br />

name?<br />

Well, our dear queen was not allowed to eat sweet<br />

foods but once on the throne, she’d munch her way<br />

through sponges, biscuits, wafers…Of course, I was<br />

always her favourite.<br />

How do you always look so good?<br />

Im made with the finest ingredients: flour, sugar,<br />

butter and egg, with no unnecessary extras. I mean<br />

look at me – I’ve a light and fluffy consistency and I’m<br />

sandwiched with raspberry jam and James pops in<br />

a generous spread of butter cream. Commoners use<br />

strawberry jam, but really? A fine dusting of caster<br />

sugar over my top makes me look rather regal.<br />

Leisure<br />

How do you spend your day?<br />

I’m a model cake, sitting on the counter at ARTea<br />

Room surrounded by the lesser cakes; they don’t<br />

realise my importance. I'm such a quintessentially<br />

English teatime treat and everyone loves me.<br />

You are very friendly.<br />

Oh my goodness darling, have you ever met a Victoria<br />

sponge you didn’t like? James takes extra care of me<br />

as I am such a popular cake. Have you tried me?<br />

Did you know Victoria Sandwich has royal<br />

connections?<br />
