Here in the Garden of England, we are famous for our orchards. Apples and cherries work beautifully together to create a stunning cake perfect for any occasion. It is utterly delicious paired with Simply Ice Cream’s Heavenly Honeycomb. This beautiful luxury ice cream is made in the heart of Kent. I first tasted it at a local food festival a few years back and have been a huge fan ever since – they’re also regulars at Wealden Times Midsummer Fair.
