Aldi cherry bakewell jaffa cakes

Finally got my hands on these Aldi cherry bakewell jaffa cakes.
They were really nice but it took some time getting used to it because they were in the form of jaffa cakes.
You get that lovely cherry which is a jelly on a semi soft cake and then the almond taste hits you.
The topping was a bit like white chocolate but overall it was yummy.
So glad to see this product on the shelves.

Soreen scream cherry jellies

I felt that these Soreen scream cherry jellies are just like your usual malt loaf with some chewy sticky cherry jelly bits.

ASDA Mini Garlic Bao Balls aka bao buns

ASDA Mini Garlic Bao Balls aka bao buns

When I saw these ASDA mini garlic bao balls I had to try them.

I am not a fan of Sweet bao buns but had to give these a try because of the unusual East Meets the West fusion.

Out of all the baos at the supermarket, this has to be the most wacky creation with garlic and parsley like garlic bread whereas the other ones are Asian inspired like with hoisin flavours and katsu.

Again, just like other baos and dim sums, these are produced in Vietnam.

Now, to the moment of truth, these were so addictive that I had four in one go!

You get a lovely garlicky filling in the middle and I love the way the bao has parsley which makes it look nice.

Overall, not too sweet with each one bursting with filling.

I definitely wouldn't mind getting these again but they must be good as they were the last box in the freezer.

Cakes galore at a Bagel shop called The Happening Bagel Bakery

Spotted The Happening Bakery Bagel across the road which was just my thing. 

I was expecting lots of bagel offerings but was delighted to see they had a cake cabinet and lots of other treats like donuts so how could I leave empty handed.

It has a menu with white background and blue red words setting is like a typical Jewish Bakery shop.
I found this shop very similar to The Bagel Shop at Stamford hill.
They had bagels, patties, challah and traditional English cakes.
As expected, it was to my liking with a strong bakewell taste while the cake texture was just right.

M&S iced all butter speculoos cake reviewed

A pretty cake with three layers of different colours so I tried each layer separately.
The bottom layer tasted like cinnamon.
The second layer was intensely sweet while the top layer was a bit bitter while the icing is gritty with a marzipan texture.
Having the cake as it is was quite nice with the spice kick.
Overall its just a sweet cake with heat but the spices lacked aromatic flavour.

M&S Collection Dark Caramel flavoured clotted cream

I just love clotted cream so didn't hesitate trying the new dark caramel clotted cream.

The dark caramel clotted cream totally blew me away and the taste was so unique!

Trying a spoonful on its own, it was like burnt caramel sugar that you get on top of creme brulee in clotted cream form with an alcoholic kick to it even though it is alcohol free.

It went really well with my toffee apple sponge pudding.

M&S Mince Pie flavoured extra thick cream

I just love cream so didn't hesitate trying the new mince pie thick cream.
The mince pie thick cream looked lush because it is cream blended with sultanas, apple, candied mixed peel and spices.
The look and consistency was just like clotted cream with that dry layer on top but it does contain clotted cream.
Tasting the mince pie cream on its own, I was a bit disappointed as one cannot taste the apple mixed peel, there was something very odd about the taste.
It was like banoffee with spices.
