currently going through a packet of "spitzbuben" "sables a la confiture Discoletti" in Hotel room in Switzerland. There like jammi dogers made from shortbread, very nice with a v. small bottle of Gallo Cabernet Sauvenon from the mini-bar.
I was grocery shopping yesterday and I saw a really lovely packet of five Mr. Kipling chocolate chip sponge cake bars on special offer so I bought them. They were yummy. :)

I have seen giant fondant or french fancies or whatever they're called before, but I don't think they were anywhere near the size equivalent of 12 portions. That's enough sugar to put you in a coma.

Looks big enough for Two or Three. It would probably last me Three days.
I'm a fan of (dont laugh !) Lemon Puffs. Flippin beautiful, take them apart or nibble the bottom layer, use your teeth to scrape the lemon off until finally eating the other biscuit type layer.
The same with Club's. Try to carefully nibble all the chocolate around it until finally eating the main biscuit part.
Do they still make those ones that look like mini white volcanoes? they crumble in your mouth like paper? Failing that I'll have a big box o' Krispy Kreme doughnut assortment, them's is expensive but them's is tasty!

When i used to work in an office i always brought in some really nice cakes on my birthday. Then in return i was quite gutted when it was someone elses birthday and they simply got a box of the cheapest ones you could find, eg 20 doughnuts for 50p kinda thing !

That seems to be a North West tradition (you'd think it would be the other way round - everyone brings in cakes for you!). I've never heard of it happening in other parts of the country - but I could be wrong.

Well i lived most of my life down south, always happened in all my jobs. Cakes on your birthday. In the 'posh' job i had in London you all put in 5 pounds each into someones birthday fund (instead of the normal quid) which was a lot !
I was gutted as i got made redundant before it was my frickin birthday ! Wanted to get my money back with my present !
I used to work for someone who having came straight from his accountant, had stopped by Tescos and bought a 4 pack of custard doughnuts. A worthy profit share scheme if there ever was one - He, big house in the country and a large Mercedes, us the workers, a doughnut.

When I worked at Rage Software we had a National Lottery syndicate thing going on - ?5 a month each (a pound a week with the extra quid going into a pot for a "out of the hat" money prise at the end of the year, or something). Anyways - the week I got made redundant the sods won!

Didn't get a penny!
Damn ! How much did they win ? At work i had to join any lottery syndicates as you knew it was sods law they would win if you didnt enter (or forgot to pay when you went on holiday).

"Mr Kipling makes exceedingly small cakes"
This Big French Fancy is bloody big. Just looking at it makes me feel sick. It looks so... *synthetic*...
its a made up drug
The texture is thinner than on a regular fancy. So, yep, weird. Synthetic and weird. I may be eating a marketing model for all I know.
Lol, I saw that one in Moronsons. Was 12 quid tho. And why the pink one? I can't eat the pink ones! Should have been the yellow one. :)

I'm still in mourning that Trio's are no more
Is a doughnut a cake?

I'm into my raspberry donuts... Morisons make the best ones, as their finely dusted with icing sugar. Yum!
Got any 'yellow bentines'?
What? 'Klarky Caps'? They turn your balls yellow!
