Old fashioned cakes and other bakery items.

I love cakes but I find a lot of cakes now are crammed full of other sweet items like biscuits or covered in them. It’s a bit much for me.

It made me wonder what old fashioned cakes, pastries and savoury bakery items that are hard to find now.

I miss really good gingerbread men. I know that they’re still available if not so readily, but they aren’t as gingery as they used to be. And what’s happened to cream horns.

My Mother used to love something called Paris buns. They’re rather like a scone scattering with sugar nibs. Are those still around?

What old fashioned bakery items do you miss?

I really miss one we used to have at school but I can't find anything like it!
It was a very thin layer of pastry at the bottom, then jam, then sponge and topped with icing and sprinkles

Surely that's a bakewell tart with added sprinkles?

@IamaRevenant no but similar, no almond
I guess more like a school cake (the icing sprinkle one) on jam and pastry
