One of my favourites is a custard slice.

I like to take off the top iced layer and pastry and eat that first and then eat the custardy bit and the bottom layer of pastry separately- yum!

Oh my, can I come round and have some buns??? God I love all of them, bread and butter pudding is lovely isn't it? I used to go out with this woman who was a pastry chef, man that was a bad move breaking up with her wasn't it? Oh well, you live and learn.

We only have Tesco's from that list, but its a biggun. We've got lots of our own of course and aldi and lidl now like everywhere. I think tesco is great for food actually, lots of choice. Apparently M&S are opening lots of food halls over here around the country cause of the boom and all that, hope they do one local, I lived in M&S when I was staying in kensington last year, so handy, probably bad for you all that ready made food, but damn tasty.

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I also like to take a yellow cake mix and add some mashed banannas instead of all the oil. Then frost with chocolate frosting. (Must hide the cake if nephew is over, he'd eat the whole darn thing)

German Chocolate Cake.

I have the cake mix doctor cookbook. And I love it, take a mix, add a few extra goodies, and viola tastes homemade.

Bought some lovely chocolate there just before Christmas when I went to Plymouth's new shopping centre (including some chocolate marzipan)

On the subject of cake...all cake, at any time, except seed cake

Bez, I like your new avatar and it reminds me of Trivial Pursuit cheeses

Oooh! Just remembered my white chocolate cups with white choc and cream filling. And I have brilliant recipes for white choc and strawberry cheesecake and a hazelnut and plum bakewell tart.

Marzipan in the devil's playdough - evil stuff.

Anyway it's a great topic of conversation!

But - so many cakes, so little time

My favourite cakes at the mo are ... coffee & walnut and lemon drizzle :-6

I love that!

(I have an M and S lemon drizzle on top of my microwave but don't fancy it now I've bought it)

My cream cheese frosting, is cream cheese, tspn of vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. But you could add orange zest, I think that would make it even better. Might even have to try that myself.
