Re Cup Cakes

Thanks for all your comments forgot to say I like a bit of nostalgia and Englishness if thats a word, and prefer to still call them what my Mum called them,  the good old Northern term of buns or Fairy Cakes, smaller than a cup cake and much more dainty.
bye for now   Cate :)   x

Ok you asked for some of my favs at See's. There is not much I won't eat. I always get a piece of Dark Bordeaux, a butterscotch square,and molasses chips and maybe a truffle!
Thanks again!
