Revisiting this wonderful series, have the whole collection and wish they made more.

I was watching an episode from the first series (season) and Hyacinth ordered "6 fresh cream cakes" from a local bakery. I wondered what cream cakes were? I assume it's a British dessert? what (cream) is in them?

No expert here , and I doubt these are typical, but I'm sure they would please Hyacinth!

I had the same curiosity about "custard tarts", the favorite snack of Lionel Hardcastle on ATGB. Believe it or not, I actually found some, altho flavored and small, at Walmart! Nothing more than pie crust with a scoop of custard on top, but they sure left you craving for another!

Thanks! Pretty weird to see all that fruit on cakes!

I've had custard tarts. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.
