Caxton Pink'n'Whites Review |
My mother used to make a lovely cake using big round wafer biscuits (Oblaten) sandwiched together with hazelnut chocolate cream, and covered with caramel. It was only about 1 1/2" high, but was it good! She had to stop making this when the local Polish delicatessen closed down and Oblaten disappeared with it. This is the best use I know of wafer biscuits except for the good old ice cream wafer that inevitably squidges out of the sides all round and drips on your blouse.
Best wishes

PS I would defend pink wafers to my last breath, and any other colour for that matter. However, Pink and Whites are another matter. Cardboard filled with foam rubber, and completely tasteless. I quite like the jam ones because of the jam, though. |
Nicey replies: Good for you sticking up for all those poor little Pink Wafers. |

Love them or shocked by them - the pink n white movement has arrived. Tens of thousands of pink fluffy lovers are buying these moreish treats in their masses.
The popularity of the Pink'n'White movement is now so great that there is now a website to go to enjoy the full pink'n' white experience. So throw away the marigolds and embrace the movement or just play to win the free monthly case of yummy fluffy 'pink n whites'. |
Nicey replies: Thanks Victoria,
Winning a whole case of Pink'n'Whites would be quite shocking! |

Having just read your slightly disparaging review of Caxtons Pink 'n' Whites, i felt the urge to inform you of their implicit greatness. I will concede that the taste leaves much to be desired but they yield secret powers! Simply put one on a plate, put the plate in the microwave and nuke it on high for a few minutes. Just watch it. Watch it i say. All will be revealed.

Hello again Nicey and Staff
Yes, I saw the article about Eccles Cakes. Unfortunately, we have TWO of the said Greggs stores here in Sunny St Albans, on opposite sides of the main shopping street. They are the sort of cake/sandwich shop that my mother would have pronounced as "selling septic cakes" (she meant the sort filled with that rather nasty artificial cream). They are cheap and not very cheerful. They even sell something called "Tottenham cake", which as a Spurs family, interested us. I suppose it's to compete with Chelsea Buns, but since it's just a square of plain sponge with a lurid sickly pink icing, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the football club. When I asked a member of staff why they were so-called, they mumbled "dunno", so I'm none the wiser.
Maybe we should arrange a campaign to Save the Eccles Cake, starting right now!
Best wishes to all. Must go now, to put on the kettle for the Return Home from School Cup of Tea and Sit Down (with Caxtons Pink and White Wafers) of the younger daughter.
