Advantages: good cake

Disadvantages: not home made

In the 19 60's a company calling itself Bronte cakes established itself making cakes in Haworth Yorkshire .
I am anticipating that most of you know that Howarth is the village where the Bronte sisters lived. The 3 Bronte sisters all wrote books Jane Eyre by Charlotte, Wuthering Heights by Emily and The tenant of wild fell hall by Ann.
The company in Howarth sold out to a Livingston firm Patterson Arran, who have since expanded the range of products with the Bronte name calling its products café Bronte new products oat biscuits and muffins produced.

The Bronte cakes are still produces there are 6 flavours of cake that I am aware of.
All of these cakes weigh 15 oz /425gm. They are wrapped in plastic cellophane that is seeing through.
The labels centre top of the cake has the Bronte cake logo the name of the cake it contains and a description of the cake and the contents.
There is a Bronte Fruit & Brandy Cake this is a fruit cake that contains sultanas and cherries.
The Bronte Rum and Butter Cake is a cake made with Rum and butter
Then there is the Bronte Stem Ginger Fruit Cake this is a cake containing sultanas, stem ginger and citrus peel.
Next a Bronte Dark Genoa Cake this is a dark fruit cake containing sultanas and cherries.
The Bronte Dundee Cake is a fruit cake containing sultanas and topped with almonds
They also make a Bronte Cherry Walnut Fruit Cake is a cake with cherries and walnuts.
I believe they also make an iced Christmas cake too.
There is a warning with all these cakes that they might contain traces of nut and may contain fruit stones. A warning that they contain Gluten too.

I have not eaten samples of all these cakes but have eaten the stem ginger and the dark genoa cake. I am not allergic too but dislike nuts and have discreetly picked the almonds of the Bronte Dundee cake. My favourite is the stem ginger cake.
These cakes look quite attractive have almost a home made look about them.
These cakes cut well into slices not crumbling too much. They are fairly moist and flavoursome. These cakes area reasonable quality for a shop bought cake.
I have bought these cakes at shops attached to motorway services when on my holidays the price I seem to remember about a pound.
I seem to remember seeing these cakes available at small convenience stores too.
.
You can purchase them on line at http://www.englishteastore.com/brrumandbuca.html for between $5 and $6
I seem to think that Bronte cakes supply cakes and biscuits more to cafes and eating places than supermarkets.

Anyway to sum up Bronte cakes are a fair cake to buy and eat

Summary: A good shop bought cake .
