How To Make A Victoria Sponge Cake YOLANDA STYLE! Inspired by an amazing High Tea Tour in LONDON!

Both these tours were unforgettable! Check below for more info!
Cheerio from across the pond! 👋🇬🇧 the crew and I headed down to London town to continue our British adventure. First stop: tea. Second stop: more tea. When in Rome, do as the Londoners do…or something like that, right?? 🤔
@brigitsbakery has totally changed the tea time game with their Afternoon Tea Bus Tour. It’s everything we love about exploring a new city (food, culture, and sightseeing galore), minus the not so fun stuff (the blisters, Google maps drama, and more blisters…should I go on?!) and if there’s one thing you should know about me by now, it’s that there’s nothing I love more than to see people get creative in the kitchen. So when @ampersandhotel came knocking and said they had a little something up their sleeve that involved a little bit of physics, a little bit of chemistry, and a whole lot of deliciousness, we couldn't resist this one-of-a-kind experience!
I think it’s safe to say we now all #LoveGreatBritain and are counting down the seconds to our next visit!

[@HowToCakeIt]

I have SO many questions after this incredible learning experience! Is it High Tea or Afternoon Tea? Is it pronounced SCONE or SCOHN?? Does the clotted cream or jam go on first?! Enlighten me, dahhhlings! 👇🏽

[@faz4980]

Scone is pronounced differently in different parts of the UK. I’m from the midlands and I pronounce it ‘scon’. Whilst they both include tea as a beverage, afternoon tea includes delicate pastries, little sandwiches, scones and cakes. Whereas high tea is typically a more wholesome meal of meat, potatoes and vegetables served at the dinner table later in the day. (Supper)

[@Maria_Swift]

I live in the UK and honestly, we don't really do high tea or afternoon tea. Its just a snack lol! I think maybe its more of a tourist thing than anything else not to crush you dreams or anything lol. Also the scone debate is very controversial but i personally say SCONE...

[@FREAKOUT123ism]

😋🍷💗💗💗

[@HowToCakeIt]

@@faz4980 I'll take both! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Farhana! 💞

[@lckittyqueen]

obviously cream first but it depends, I think the cornish way is jam first and the devon way is cream first

[@natinatyoutube]

I don't know why you don't have your own TV show yet. The only possible reason I can think of is that you declined all the offers and decided to stay on youtube, which is totally fine. You have that "quiet bubbliness" vibe about you, that classy and contained confidence, inner & outer beauty that makes you just so beautiful and entertaining to watch. Thank you so much for providing genuiosity here on youtube and congrats on all your well-deserved success. Greetings from Switzerland 🤗

[@Priceley]

As a Brit I approve this Canadian take on the Victoria sponge. It looks so good 🤤🤤

[@moonglow630]

I was in London for my Birthday with my Parents and brother. We went to Westminster Abbey. Went to the National Gallery to get a print of my fav Renoir painting. Walked up the mall to Buckingham Palace & took pics. And then had an amazing tea at Harrod’s. By the time I returned to my hotel & got the surprise bday cake my bro had arranged, I had no room left. One of my best birthday’s EVER!!!

[@MiffetBlue]

Afternoon Tea is a more relaxed serving of tea usually served in parlour chairs or in the garden while High Tea is the serving of tea at the table with more structured usually high backed chairs. The differences are subtle but there are some. Afternoon Tea is usually served between 3:00pm and 4:00pm while High Tea is served between 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Afternoon Tea was served with light snacks to allow people a small snack between lunch and dinner which was usually served around 7:30 or 8:00. High Tea was served with more hearty foods at the end of a work day to compensate for a lack of lunch break.

[@Narra0002]

I’m confused. Is afternoon tea at 3 or 7:30?

[@Lu13s]

the times got timestamped to the video. Just so you know. I think it was kinda funny. maybe 7.30 might work? (Yeah it does)

[@pumpupthejam28]

Was just about to ask for clarity on this subject. Thank you!

[@MiffetBlue]

@@Narra0002 afternoon tea is served between 3 and 4 pm to allow people a light snack between lunch and dinner because dinner (or supper) want served until 7:30pm or 8pm.

[@MiffetBlue]

@@Lu13s you’re right, lol. I forgot to put the pm after the numbers there to avoid that. :)

Raise Your Hand If You Like Cake✋🏻

[@kayineson4220]

High tea is like meat and more savoury things like sandwiches or small bites where as afternoon tea is more sweet based with small cakes and pastries. Afternoon tea is eaten in the afternoon 2-3pm where as high tea is early evening 6-7pm. Hope this helps

[@lida7529]

This sounds pretty hobbitish (to a Tolkien fan at least).

[@douabaherelneel8510]

As a British fan I don't even know what the difference between high tea and afternoon tea 😂😂

[@HowToCakeIt]

Tomato, tomahto? 😆

[@njerikarue4094]

I feel like Orhan is a very kind hearted guy.❤❤

[@nicholasrooksby3327]

I Love the High Tea Sponge Cake Great Britain Style and thank you, Yolanda 🇬🇧

[@anaglk1415]

Earl Grey is my obsession!!! 😍

[@sharinggodspromises]

I am a fan of Twinning's Lady Grey tea. I have Earl at night and Lady in the morning. Huge fan Yō, you have inspired me to bake. Seeing someone who looks like me on screen was life changing. Classy, fun, energetic not the typical TV baker. I opened a small cake shop that's doing quite well. Thank you!

[@urfavplanet]

i used to watch your vids 4 ish years ago and i just found you again!! cant wait to binge :)

[@ShortyC1980]

If you ever get a chance, try Afternoon tea at Preston's Five Star Hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland. ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and yummy.. staff are all friendly :)

[@HowToCakeIt]

Writing it down! Thank you for your suggestion, Carol 😍(now I just have to find an excuse to head over to Scotland!)

[@sigurd_the_cook]

Writing this down as well, Carol. Hope I'll ever visit the UK someday.

[@torijones8192]

Yay! Finally an actual cake! I love your cake making vids!

[@tehyacolbert8797]

been watching your videos since i was 12 i’m 18 now i’m so glad your back making videos like u used to i truly missed this your the reason i started baking love this🤍🤍

[@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace]

Afternoon tea ❤ (I’m English btw lol) afternoon tea is what you were having and we do as a treat for example mothers day little cakes and sandwiches everything is very small and delicate served on tiered cake stands usually and then shared. High tea or simply ‘tea’ is what some ppl call dinner (the meal in the evening) which is a proper meal - after work when youre very tired you might have a large plate of meat and potatoes etc so theyre quite different x

[@AishwaryaSuresh]

Nostalgia of me n my sis watching these videos in childhood

[@helenivanic1628]

Yum. Cakes. I want more. 😋

[@kirlynz2554]

How fun, thanks for the tea recs for next time I'm in London! Also, I've been loving the more casual vibe of your videos, like we are getting to peep behind the curtain and see more of your sweet little work family interactions!

[@Cdr365]

Keep traveling around the world and bake something from those locations. How to Cake It-Around the World

[@selenmolla9926]

10:04 She is talking to Orhan like he is a curious lil kid and i love that so much.

[@Cdr365]

Always looks like a fun place to work

[@cyb11114]

Omg a tea crawl like a pub crawl sounds sooooo cooll

[@louvlou]

Traditionally a Victoria sponge just has raspberry jam in the middle with cream on the side.

[@Carolll9]

Love the earl gray simple syrup idea! That sponge cake has been on my list for a while. Yum! 🍓 ☕️

[@matthewmcinnes7253]

As a Scotsman I have never had a Victoria sponge with buttercream… always whipped cream. Buttercreams to heavy. The draw of a Victoria sponge is how light and airy everything is 🤔 at least as far as I know 😂

[@jenny-roseshore3569]

I’ve been to the UK which was the best experience plus meeting with most of my family which made it even better, along with other European countries. Also I have some family living in Canada 🍁❤

[@qtay5355]

So fun to watch and it looks beautiful!

[@angelacaswell6107]

This cake looks delicious!! I am definitely going to try earl grey tea

[@natemr4482]

The cake 😋🤤 looks really delicious Yolanda ❤️

[@foxinacup]

This looks so good

[@n76543]

looks wonderful!

[@tay9sdaughter121]

Omg this cake looks delicious 😋 😍. I'm going to make this for my wedding anniversary in April.

[@denisemkh]

That cake looks beautiful and yummy 🤤🤤🤤.

[@selochoa639]

Your cake looks so tasty!! Amazing!

[@meremeha-uelese1817]

Afternoon tea is held in the afternoon and involves delicate cakes and pastries whilst high tea is set later is a more substantial meal involving meat and potatoes for some. The only similarity is that both include tea to drink.

[@chris_822]

In my family we use a Victoria sponge recipe to make butterfly cakes. I don't know if that's traditional or not, I've been American far too long now.... But butterfly cakes are a British thing. Would've been cool to see you put a spin on those. We made butterfly cakes for my class when I was 11. They were so popular with my classmates, I still had them bringing up the cakes when we were 18!

[@Bri-rz7tz]

@1:57 omg sameee sis sameeee lls I always sip too slow and have to keep adding hot water until it’s not even tea anymore it’s tea infused water lls

[@areicgregory6143]

I'd love to see Yo and Barry Lewis do a collaboration

[@praisenyandimu]

Happy new year

[@roseyperkins1058]

Can you try a Mary Berry cake recipe? She’s the best baker in and from the uk you would love her

[@jaimeleigh87]

Ok I have to know. Is the jam little scarlet? That’s the best strawberry jam!

[@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace]

Ive never seen a Victoria sponge like this before - nom nom nom

[@Ai55h]

From England, mostly called afternoon tea, posh people may refer to it as high tea

[@TheGreenerItGets]

Never been this early before YUSSS

[@ashleyward3854]

I'm from London uk afternoon tea is what posh people call it but it's afternoon tea

[@lckittyqueen]

[@HowToCakeIt]

[@Narra0002]

[@HowToCakeIt]

[@myaadams5264]

[@Dragonlove3]

Yummy

[@WhitneyCorn]

I’m obsessed with Yolanda’s green sweater, where can I find one? I just got a Sir Squeeze and cookbook and accessories for Christmas. I can’t wait to get baking!

[@AfricanBarbie21]

But the tea flavored simple syrup is genius 😍😍😍

[@sherwinjohnson2794]

All of that (both tea experiences) would be soooo satisfying!!! (If not for being gluten intolerant) 😢

[@rachelt7000]

Can you assemble a cake like this the day before serving or will the strawberries give off tons of liquid?

[@princessjanuarymarie3197]

cool

[@chasemeintrini4053]

Fabulous cake as per usual Yo😊 That tour looks incredible and tea service on a bus?!😍 How much did that cost? I wanna try lol

[@HowToCakeIt]

You HAVE to try! 😍You can find all the info for the Afternoon Tea Bus tour at www.b-bakery.com 🫖

[@chasemeintrini4053]

@How To Cake It thanks so much!!

[@GabrielaHandalArt]

"It was jarring" haahhaha

We need another breakfast cake

[@deborahh5252]

I desperately miss Joslyn ❤

[@EfHaichDee]

There's an expression in Arabic that's used when you jokingly want to say that someone (a friend) has lost the plot which loosely translates to "they've leased out all the storeys". I'm frequently reminded of this expression while watching these videos. Meanwhile, Keiron could absolutely get it. Does he come with the tour? If not, they might want to consider including him - they could be making millions.

[@heavensceent]

Yo, can you make a cheesecake layered cake. A cheesecake with like 5 layers of cheesecake; scaled to a regular cake size??

[@shinellie34]
