No wiser. A sort of iced bun, I'm guessing?

I used to work in Sayers in Liverpool, and we sold fondant fancies.

They were a standard in cake shops (because they keep) and actually scorned, compared to fresh cream cakes.

The great thing about them is that, because they are completely iced, they keep. Like wedding and Christmas cake, but lighter. Although, as they are very moreish, they don’t really need to.
