I've got a thing about cherry bakewells at the moment.

French fancy. Haven't bought for years though as the box would be gone in 2 nights!!

French fancies. Utterly synthetic. Delicious.

Vienesse Whirls, i can't have them in the house i would trough on them 😀 I visited my aunt recently and she broke out the French Fancies they are sweeter than I remembered.

A box of Viennese Whirls is one unit.

LemonRedwood · 18/05/2026 19:28

Definitely the cherry Bakewells. Something about that thick layer of icing just hits right

i tried the new sticky toffee loaf cake last week and twas lovely

Luddite26 · 18/05/2026 19:35

They're just not what they were. It used to be my dream to drive behind a Mr. Kiplings van and the back doors fall open and us fill the boot! It used to be Christmas cake slices, french fancies, manor house cake, angel slices .
Exceedingly good but not now and the price pfffft.

Oh I adore the little cherry Bakewell tarts! I do pick off all the thick dry pastry from the outsides because it’s boring and that way I can fit 2 in of the pure good stuff 😂
as for the rest though, I can’t stand the fondant fancies, they are too sweet with not enough strong flavours and the Viennese whirl la seem so dry these days with not enough jammy goodness. I’d still eat one if you offered it to me though!

InterestingDuck · 18/05/2026 19:38

But which French fancy? My order - yellow, pink, brown.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 18/05/2026 19:38

French Fancies or Battenburg cake.

JenniferBooth · 18/05/2026 19:39

DH likes the jam tarts But if they arent on Clubcard offer hes not fussed if i get Tescos own

Yes they are tiny now, still as sugary

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 18/05/2026 19:49

I used to love the Cherry Bakewells.
I haven't bought any Mr. Kipling's for years. If I want cake now, I bake it.

I never thought I would say this but the Aldi ones are nicer and less than half the price

The pink ones are the best 👩‍⚖️

FoulBlister · 18/05/2026 20:44

They're so small now that they're about the same size that Celebrations chocolates used to be.

DandelionClockSeeds · 18/05/2026 20:54

Cherry bakewells
Vienesse whirls
