Jojo!

Colin (WTF) brought this along to Dave’s bake, baked by his Mrs. Very tasty indeed.

It’s not a Bakewell… it’s Border tart. Different thing altogether.

Simmons slice of Bakewell

That looks very good. Noted for its lack of icing or red chemical mouldings. :+1:

very tasty, not too sweet, lovely delicate filling and crisp pastry. Went down very well with a pot of lemon pekoe.

Looks very decent and I’m relieved to find that someone in this thread is maintaining standards. As said above, no unnecessary icing but no mutant rat shit or half chewed wine gums flobbed on top. :rage:

Very nice. :+1:

How very strange. Pete brought some of the individual ones, from Simmons, to the bakeoff, and they were nothing like that. Lots of icing, and a cherry, little filling, and less jam

They do two types for some reason.

Is it that individual tarts have a higher ratio of pastry to the other ingredients and bakers are offsetting that with icing?

They don’t want to miss out on the sales to Brexit voting philistine savages who actually like icing & other chemical adornments
