IT’S a tricky business to bake a sponge just right, a skill which medical imaging assistant, Dave McCabe from Branxholme has refined over the years.

 Mr McCabe recently won several places in the sponge baking sections at the Royal Melbourne Show (RMS) including first place for his chocolate sponge, a delicious creation containing several ingredients including duck eggs (from his own ducks), cornflower and most importantly – technique.
