Well I've been patiently waiting for 22 years now, but FINALLY Bakewell tarts and Treacle Tarts are available in Foodland Findon! They're made by a company called Pearls and they're from London. Please support this so they will keep on importing these, and hopefully they'll soon spread to other supermarkets around Adelaide!!!

You might want to message one of the mods to move this to the Aussie bit or your cakes will run out with lack of support from your fellow Poms.

Bakewell tarts have been in my wollies for ages. I can even get weightwatchers ones Don't like treacle, so haven't noticed those though

Yeah, lets all rush out and buy a Lamingtons.

For a cake that has an almost mythical status here in Oz, it's damn dull. I'll take a Bakewell every time.

BenandPam

Agreed. Bakewell tart = NICE, Lamington = NASTY!

Wendy

Cake is cake to me!!

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Well yeah.... but there's cake and then there's CAKE

Mythical because it was used for fundraising everywhere. Had to be dull as all us kids had to help make them by the slab load...you could support local charity by buying them and know that 12 neighbourhood children had lovingly made them on trestle tables under the house

Speaking as someone who loathes coconut though, they are

But, think of the children

The cultural problem with Lamingtons is that, from the exterior, they look like a rectangular snowball, so when you bite into them you expect it to have a mallow centre... thus your tastebuds are horrified when it's a lump of stale sponge instead

Well, that's how it was for me. Tried 'em once, don't need to try them again.

Beedubya

Horrible lumps LOL .

Sounds about right
