Small Victoria Sponges

Small Victoria Sponges are a delight. Instead of the usual large cake, make individual ones that can be decorated in so many ways. I have gone for the traditional strawberry jam and whipped cream and even peanut butter works!! I make these in advance for my children and grandchildren for years as snacks and they are always vanished immediately. They have also helped to make and decorate them.
