Elsewhere on Cookpad, I share with you my recipe for sour cherry and almond cake (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/2357113-sour-cherry-and-almond-cake). Today, it's the turn of my favourite ever summer treat - the rose petal and strawberry sandwich. Fancy a Victoria Sponge kind of vibe but don't have time to bake? This is the answer to your prayers.

It's also far too easy to make. And eat. So I try to limit myself to a couple of special occasions each summer. My favourite? As a sort of celebration to mark the blooming of the first roses of the year. This recipe has become a ritual of sorts.
