Bakewell - it’s all about the icing. And the jam

You, I like :smirk:

I like mine just out of the fridge. Cold icing mmmmm.

In the interests of full disclosure, I like to break down the Bakewell with a fork and mix it with double cream until the consistency of pate is achieved - in this fashion I am comfortable eating 2-6 kilos of Bakewell.

Its pleasing to see that we are a broad church.

A good quality custard enveloping a pair of tarts during the bleak mid winter is a thing not forgotten easily.

Is Bakewell on the way to Lopwell for anyone?

YES!

2 of each?

Have you noticed that if you hold two Bakewell tarts together they look a bit like ladies boobies? No? Oh well it must just be me then.

Yeah, I’d rather have a Sausage Roll myself.

Must be a thread there.

One at a time, one at a time…

As a Gregg’s regular, can you confirm whether they offer an interpretation of Bakewell’s finest? If so, photo review please.

They do. They come in small squares 4 to a pack.

If memory serves, they were underwhelming… more frangipany than a true Bakewell and un–iced. I think I went back in to offset my disappointment with the purchase of an empire biscuit.

I think the more worrying fact is the adoption of a square shape. This is rong.

Saves the effort of mastication. Efficiency savings allow for greater efforts in gluttony. The wisdom of simplicity

Pudding = Puff Pastry
Tart = Shortcrust

Going to have a go at making one
