Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Vanilla Sponge with Berry Compote & Creamy Buttercream 🍓✨ A soft, fluffy vanilla sponge layered with a glossy berry filling and finished with smooth, creamy buttercream! INGREDIENTS - Sponge • 200g unsalted butter, softened • 200g caster sugar • 4 medium eggs • 200g self-raising flour • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 2 tbsp milk Berry Compote • 250g raspberries or strawberries (fresh or frozen) • 60g sugar • 1 tbsp lemon juice • 1 tbsp cornflour + 1 tbsp cold water Buttercream • 250g unsalted butter, very soft • 500g icing sugar • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 2–3 tbsp milk METHOD - 1. Sponge: Preheat oven to 170°C (fan). Line two 8-inch tins. Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gently fold in flour, then add vanilla and milk. Divide between tins and bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely. 2. Berry Compote: Heat berries, sugar and lemon juice until bubbling. Stir in cornflour mixture and cook until thick and glossy. Leave to cool fully - it should be thick and spreadable. 3. Buttercream: Beat butter for 3-5 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add icing sugar gradually, mixing well. Add vanilla and milk until smooth and spreadable. 4. Assembly: • Place one sponge on your board. • Pipe/spoon on a buttercream dam around the edge (this stops the filling leaking). • Spoon the berry compote into the centre. • Add the second sponge on top. • Apply a thin crumb coat and chill for 20 minutes. • Finish with a thicker layer of buttercream. • Decorate with piped flowers in soft pinks and white 🌸"

Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Two weeks of Easter halfterm stitched together in crumbs, colour and chaos - woodland egg hunts, afternoon tea treats, baking-and-decorating marathons (from many chocolate nest eggs to cupcakes to biscuits) sensory play explosions, McDonald’s fuel stops, cinema session, Lego kingdoms, mocktails, milkshakes, Easter crafts and imaginative play. A whole season of small joys with the kids - threaded, of course, with the meltdowns and parenthood moments that remind me not every part of motherhood is pretty or poetic and that's part of the story too."

Jazz singer teams up with local food businesses for special Easter afternoon tea event

https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2026/03/31/jazz-singer-teams-up-with-local-food-businesses-for-special-easter-afternoon-tea-event/

Afternoon tea at Nubel, Museum Reina Sofía. Okay tea set, but service left a lot to be desired - overall one hour waiting, in their own words, they forgot about me. Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸, 16th December 2023.
