I didn't see it. Mine was just a guess.

Chocolate biscuit cakes are one of the most nice one and they are good for health also.

[Tilly2]

No, they're not, nurein.

[marje]

They looked like Tunnocks Teacakes to me.

[inksplotter]

Chocolate shortbread is not very common!

[Buenchico]

Good for sales, apparently!

At no point in all the discussion about these did I hear the word 'marshmallow' mentioned but that's what came to mind as I watched the ceremony.

The base is biscuit, so how do they get away with calling them cakes?

Is this another successful example of the Jaffa Cakes trick? (no VAT)

Tunnocks tea cakes...yummy !

[inksplotter]

I think it's disgusting that people waste time in discussion whether things are biscuits or cakes.

and I just saw in the paper that one girl dressed as a tea cake was spotted at the ceremony - and was actually on sick leave!

That's the spirit. Being able to dress as a teacake when you're ill, takes some doing.
