to be outraged at the size of M&S' fondant fancies?

[SantanaLopez]

FFS, they are Lilliputian.

1.5 inches wide. I ask you.

I like the lemon ones if anyone is giving them away
Ds keeps eyeing up the giant jammie dodgers, but I'm going to assume bigger isn't always better ;)

I once enjoyed a Very Large custard cream with a book.

I didn't eat the book, mind.

This was in Asda

Why can't anyone make pink ones without beetles? Surely there must be another non beetley food colouring

Where do you get those enormous Jaffa Cakes? I need them in my life.

Waitrose bakery is your friend.

Why can't anyone make pink ones without beetles?

Oh god. Do I want to know more about this???

Red food dye is extracted from cochineal beetles and so non-veggie. I was going to check as I think there is a veggie alternative and M&S are quite good on this (raspberry royale is gelatine free). The list on the M&S website is vvvv long. I didn't find fondants before I got bored but it did include red velvet cupcakes and weirdly bunnies and chicks.

You need to check your cake pack for the "V" symbol now pleeease.

Oh god, I'm pregnant and now the baby totally wants French Fancies. Damnit!

Oh! You cruel, cruel people. There's nowhere here I can get such delights. Giant Jaffa Cake?!?!

In Greece you can get "jaffa" cakes with a berry flavoured jelly bit.

They are divine. I tried to bring some back but they were overcome by the warmth and melted together, so I had to eat them all four at a time

I need French or fondant fancies now. Right now. So what I've got stuffed chicken for dinner, I need cake.

I want some Fondant Fancies now or any cake.

Hmm, I bet a homemade giant Jaffa cake cake wouldn't be too difficult.

Incidentally Tesco value Jaffa cakes are the best ever.

Yeah, you could use orange marmalade for the filling.

The M&S fondant fancies used to be bigger than mr Kiplings and really yummy. Now smaller and just a bit sickly.

Can still polish a box off in one sitting though.

Get yourself to Bettys in York as a treat - they do their own fondant fancy and it is the size of two normal ones plonked on top of each other and obviously deeelicious. Think it's £1.60 for one though, eek!

I packet of Jaffa cakes is just the right size for dipping in a mug of tea.

I usually get a headache afterwards though.

P.S. I don't dip the packet in one go. Although.......
