Amanda Buus Thomsen – BT Harvesting
On Monday, our crew went to take their car license and written CDL tests. I decided to sweeten the deal by telling them that if anyone was able to pass all their written tests on the same day, I would make them their choice of dessert. Everyone loves a little added incentive, right?
One crew member, a Brit, was able to do it. (To be fair, the other guys were close and were able to pass the tests the next day).
When I asked him what kind of dessert he wanted, I was expecting him to say he wanted chocolate chip cookies, angel food with strawberries or brownies. I wasn’t expecting him to say, “Can you make a Victoria Sponge?” Uh, maybe?
I checked with my friend, Google, and found a recipe. It didn’t look hard and, thankfully, didn’t require any special ingredients. Basically two sponge cakes with raspberry jam and buttercream as the filling between the two layers. It was pretty easy and I may even make it again!
I think it got a thumbs-up!
The shop has been busy and harvest prep is in full swing. I’m going through all my recipes and making a rough menu to start the season with since I don’t start cooking for the crew until we start harvesting.

The life as a HarvestHER is never boring!
