Baking made easy

I watched a new tv baking programme this week called baking made easy http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/i_cant_believe_you_made_90494 I wasn't majorly struck by it as a series (so far) and didn't find the presenter particularly charismatic, BUT, I did like some of her recipes.  In particular I was desperate to try the "I can't believe you made that cake"... and so as we'd been invited to a friends for tea and cakes on Sunday, I thought I would give it a go!
I made a basic recipe chocolate sponge and filled and covered it with the Hummingbird Bakery recipe buttercream.  I then stuck Cadbury's chocolate fingers all around the outside - chocolate cigarillos being hard to come by where I live... and then filled it with fruit.  I was very pleased with the results!
