Lancashire Rich Jam Cake

Lancashire Rich Jam Cake is a new piece of work I’ve created about my love of food. The embroidery is based around one of my late mother’s recipes and celebrates a Lancashire version of a jam pasty or a jam slice.

“This cake were a firm favourite at every school or church event I went to as a kid. Folk would make it to sell or cut it up and share it with a hot brew. This crowd pleaser were perfect to cut into little squares; or as my aunt used to do – cut it into pie slice wedges and arrange it on a big flowery china plate for an afternoon treat.” ~ Catherine Hill.
