About The Book
Sweet Victory is a nostalgic collection of authentic wartime cakes recipes, drawn from IWM’s archives.
During the hardships of the Second World war and post- war rationing, home bakers found ingenious ways to create comforting cakes. In wartime Britain, cake was more than just a treat – it was a way to bring people together, and a small but meaningful defi ance against hardship. Despite strict rationing, communities rallied together to share resources and recipes to ensure birthdays, weddings and even afternoon teas could still be celebrated.
