Okay, so this isn’t the British flag – but there’s no reason why you can’t have a go at the cake (above) and recreate the layout with a union flag theme. Use raspberries and blueberries for decoration and tuck right in!
This looks like a simple Victoria sponge cake, baked in a rectangular pan. Why not give it a go? In fact, this kind of cake doesn’t have to be reserved for the Olympics; you can try it yourself any time and it’d be perfect for lazy summer picnics, family barbecues or at-home afternoon tea.
