When you buy a cake from a bakery..

[rinseandrepeat1]

What one do you choose?

I'm just curious.

For me it's always a sprinkle doughnut I never really explore other options.

In season strawberry tart from local bakery or tipsy or wedding slice.

This talk of coffee towers made me google…you can buy them mail order!!

@SisterAgatha i wondered why it suddenly went a bit batshit with the queuing! They ended up with a complicated system where certain things were only available at a certain time, maybe it coincided with it going viral (i hadn’t realised it had!) - how annoying, although great for their business 😂

Never heard of a London cheesecake, I’m going to look into it, is it just like a regular cheesecake?!

Absolutely this!
Love a Belgian bun!

Also very keen on a blackcurrant tart (don’t see them very often) or a good custard tart.
Used to love cream cakes but the amount of cream makes me feel really sick now🥲
Got no independent bakers here anymore, all there is is Greggs😵‍💫

Oh Christ that’s what all the talk of the coconut was about, the London cheesecake looks like an absolute abomination 😂

Millefeuille 😍 Never to be eaten in public however

Coffee eclair (birthday treat of my childhood)

Red velvet cake

cheese scone with butter

A Bakewell tart.

Or shared😋

If I'm home then lardy cake (Wiltshire thing) but I love carrot cake or bread pudding ❤️❤️❤️

Oh God your mention of Rum babas are giving me the horrors. Aged 14 we arrived in Italy in the middle of the night - starving. I thought I was biting into a bread roll. It was🤑I detest rum still.

An iced bun...the long finger type.
However I've not seen one in years as all the old fashioned bakeries seem to have disappeared. All we seem to have now are the incredibly sickly garish French style patisserie cakes

Belgian Bun or a Toffee Yum - Yum 😋

If I'm in the UK then it's got to be one of those Belgian buns from Greggs with lemon curd inside. 😋

At home probably a Windbeutel with cherry filling, or a Cremeschnitte.

Now I want a cake. 🤔

Elephants Foot ! Birds Bakery ❤️

I thought a Viennese Whirl was a biscuit.

A London cheesecake, although don't see them as much these days.

I was just coming on to say this! Can't beat them!

@effoffwind they do mini ones now but it's a caramel doughnut every time for me. Maybe a cream slice at a push.

@RubieDubie @distinctpossibility 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

I'm doing SW just now so going to treat myself to not a mini one when I get to target 😂

Caramel one would be yummy I bet

@FannyFifer "Fudge donut from Fisher & Donaldsons."

Haven't had one of them for more than 30 years!

Maple plaited sweet patisseries

French raison swirl round passteries

Custard tarts

Traditional Welsh cakes cooked on griddle

eaten just hot or very warm

Same!

Coffee puffs!

Also, those little cream filled pastry cups, with coffee icing and a walnut on top.

Custard slice or Belgian Bun
