The icing on the cake, for my Wedding Day

Advantages: multiple usages
Disadvantages: fattening

We purchased this cake as the middle tier for our wedding cake, we had already obtained the top and bottom section in fruit filled traditional style from Tesco and thought the change to this Madeira cake, would make a nicer option for the younger ones. It is stated as being Madeira, but the inside does have a light jam and cream filling, the cakes are well presented covered in a smooth royal icing top to bottom and a piped swirl pattern around the top rim.

The Bible: a historical perspective

Advantages: one of the most complex and fascinating books ever
Disadvantages: one of the most abused and misunderstood books ever

The Bible is a very difficult subject to write about. Its text that has shaped the western world, if not the world as a whole, it's a book that contains subjects as big as creation and as small as a single kiss. It is a book that documents the rise and fall of empires and armies and the lives of ordinary people; it is a book that covers thousands of years in its scope and the most famous last hours of anyone in history.
