Bake with Us – Apple Crumble Cake
***
One of our 2019 wedding cake trend predictions was couples choosing more unusual cake flavours for their wedding cake. Now, if your favourite is fruit or can’t resist Victoria sponge, go for it, but if you’re looking for something a little different we’re showing you how to make an apple crumble cake with spiced apple buttercream.
