Mine were from The shop at Westlea.

No fear of cholesterol then.

i dont think it matters where theyre from..a cream cake is a cream cake in my book..personaly...i like a cream doughnut slit up the middleand stuffed to overfill and a sqirt of red jammy sauce..yummy !!

Japs or peach melbas!

Elephants feet or apple turnovers.

Hoggs in Morpeth.

Donkins Ashington and Barnes in Bedlington.

Wonder where they came from to Barnes.

And Carricks the Cake Shop at the Bottom End.

Always a choux à la crème (profiterole) especially the ones with a big dribble of chocko all over them ... yum!

In the 60s my Mum always brought back Fenwick's meringues from the Toon ... they were big, off white in colour and filled with real cream (not that horrible chemical cream).

Fenwicks is still good for cakes.

The Pagan Names for the months recorded by Bede in his De Temporum Ratione include 'Solmonath' the month of cakes for February

And Carricks the Cake Shop at the Bottom End.

I had unlimited access to the back door to Carricks when we lived at the Market Place....... no wonder I ended up a bloater.
