A man walks into Humble Pie and asks "Is that a macaroon or a meringue?". The guy behind the counter says "No you're right it's a macaroon".

For EU... Pohorjska Kavarna cake hotel in Maribor.

Ah yes, Paddy Macaroon. He was in Half Man Half Biscuit.

cup cakes are american inspired rubbish though, this thread needs proper cake like bread pudding, lardy cake and stodgy goodness like that

Wet nelly.

Southerners likely won't have a clue what one is.

Was there on Sunday, any cake shop that doesn't serve fruit cake is no cake shop at all....

A few years ago whilst doing trailAddiction's HEIDI ride, we called into Chevallot in Val d'Isere... Wow is all I can say.

My other half's cake shop wins for me..

Probably a bit niche, serving mainly extravagantly decorated celebration cakes, but she's a terrifyingly accomplished baker and her banana, toffee and pecan cake is a sticky, shiny, gooey lesson in indulgence..

New to me Scotduirdh, I suspect I'll shed a tear or two of joy when I check this place out.

That said, I'm more of a truffle/chocolate man. I still whimper at the thought of the chocolate brownie I had from one of Paul A Youngs shops.

Cannot beat a nice Bathbun though or a bit of Lardycake.

Those French cakes look nice but just taste of cream and sugar in my experience. Always disappointed.

It's not a fair comparison though, you took a picture of the crap cookie section of Gregs at the end of the day by the look of it. Right next to that there should have been a stand of cream cakes, custard slices and other goodies.

Are you a tabloid journalist by any chance?

Zappi's Bike Cafe in Oxford. Cakes - and bikes. What's not to like? 🙂

The cake in the Dales Bike Centre Cafe is excellent, especially when you are staying in the accommodation and have 24hr cake access.
Happy times.

You can stuff your patisseries - we've got one of these new posh Greggs in town...

Do you offer a delivery service?

There's a "Maison Blanc" near me -looks exactly like the French one in the OP's pic. Buns cost 6 times more though.

Do you know how incredibly easy it is to make cakes?

It's a bit tricky when I'm out on my bike and spontaneously think "Hmmm! I fancy a right nice coffee and cake just now."

Just take some with you 🙂

That would be planned not spontaneous.

Plan for the spontaneous!

Anyway I was talking to Rocketdog not you.

Out of curiosity, what cakes do you make, Molgrips?

All sorts. I made a battenburg once, it was awesome. Almond slices a favourite too.

Do you know how incredibly easy it is to make cakes?

Yes I do.

I also know I can't reproduce the quality of a cake made by a professional with many thousands of hours of experience.

Sadly, those sort of cakes a few and far between. But when I find them it's an ugly, almost violent scene that follows.
