Victoria Sponge Cake, by Athena Constantinou

This is a photograph I have taken for my blog www.cinnamonspiceblog.com and got inspired by two major TV series in BBC and ITV, Victoria and The great British Bake off. Cooking for my blog is another great passion for me along with photography, and I create very often food posts inspired by the trends that surround me. It took me lots of hours of standing in the kitchen and a great deal of food styling and photography, but the outcome was more than what I wanted it to be. Food Styling and photography is very time consuming, but you should not be afraid to try it!
