Hi Susan

I'd bake the sponge cakes larger than the fruit cake then cut them down to the same size, i think that would work, good luck

Thank you very much I will do that .Could you send me the best recipe for sponge cake , that you would use

Hi Susan i'm with Carol on the answer to that one that is by far the easiest way to make the cakes all the same depth although you need to cut slightly smaller to allow for any filling that your going to use. I see you've asked for a recipe as i'm a fellow Brit I may be able to help you there (saves trying to work out U.S cup sizes etc) what sort of flavour do you want and what size and shape for the cakes, I've got a fab book that gives me some awesome recipes and the conversions for sizes and shapes so the cakes come out the same depths,

Hi Les what is the title of your book and could I buy it on Amason x

Hi Susan yes it is available on amazon the book is Couture wedding cakes by mich Turner its quite a pricey book about £30 has lots of examples or her wedding cakes with how to's and the recipes in the back. its not everyones cup of tea but as I said before from my point of view its worth it just for the recipes, I've tried most of them and they are all pretty amazing, only one thing the cakes come up really deep so make sure you allow plenty of overlap with your tin liner. hope you will find it helpful

Hi sorry, I've been indisposed for a little while. I always use victoria sponge recipe for all my spong cakes and find they are suitable for every occasion. I just put all ingredients into my my mixer and whisk away untill light & fluffy and bake, never fails :)
