No mud cake Gayle. You poor deprived person you

I'm afraid to say - and I can't believe it's true - but mud cakes are even too sweet for me. It's like mars bars - too much of a good thing.

No no, not at all, perish the thought. Doesn't sound as though you are familiar with the bakery shop at all, oh dearie me no.

The chocolate hedgehog slices sound good.

I'm trying to keep visits to a minimum but it's a tough habit to break.

Hi,

I love a good quality Battenberg cake with real marzipan covering Bradfords do a lovely version,not that horrible synthetic almond flavoured paste.Theres nothing like biting into the firm but yielding marzipan,and then through to the pink and pale yellow sponge,washed down with a cup of English breakfast tea.Delicious,

Is Bradfords in Sauchiehall Street still open, Willie? I thought it was closing?

Battenberg tastes and looks lovely, Willie. A bit difficult to put together I would imagine.

Does anyone remember Royal Scot biscuits. I wonder if you can still get them. We used to love making them into wee empire biscuits. A dollop of strawberry jam in the middle of two biscuits, icing sugar on the top and a pastille (or as we called them 'joob joobs') on the top.

I remember the Royal Scot biscuits and the kid on empire biscuits, Canny Lass but 'joob joobs' are a new one on me.

I think perhaps the biscuit trick which has taken over is melted butter and crushed digestives for the cheesecake base.
