Bargain alert! I can vouch for Jane Brocket's cherry cake, so I was tempted when I saw her Vintage Cakes book reduced to £4 today in M&S. The cover of the M&S edition, sadly, is like a Cath Kidston car crash and not nearly as attractive as the original, but otherwise it's just the same (except that they've deleted Jane's list of recommended stockists, clearly a case of M&S sour grapes as they didn't feature on it). If you can live with an excess of doilies, I'm sure the cakes will taste just as good!

I know! Maybe it's the alliteration but that struck me as really funny too.

I am not entirely sure of what Cath Kidston is...

Ladies, I take it that our CK days are behind us!

Toffeeapple, I don't know how you have escaped - you clearly inhabit a superior aesthetic zone - but think globally mass-produced fake vintage and the same blue rosebuds from here to Tokyo - and you're on the right track.
