Lyons Battenburg Cake Reviews

Battenberg is a fantastic looking cake product by Lyons as well as being a great tasting cake product as well. It is made up by several different parts of sponge and then an outer casing of marzipan as well. The middle of the cake is the sponge layers, and this is a really nice part of the cake, there are four different kind of layers ...  Read the complete review

Battenburg is one of my (and many others) favourite cakes. Admittedly I am quite a cake person in general but this is my number one cake. These also come in mini versions where you get five in a box but they just don't last long enough around me. Battenburg cakes are very recognisable. Normally they come in a cardboard sleeve, in this ...  Read the complete review

I really love cake! I love sweet cakes as well which means in my house (I live with my parents at the moment) I have to buy it because no one else is a fan of this type of thing which isn't so bad really because at least it means I get to stuff myself silly with these types of products lol. I saw this on offer yesterday in my local Asda ...  Read the complete review

I love everything about battenburgs. I love the marzipan (I have been known to chop chunks of marzipan off the block and eat them), I love the pink-and-yellow checkerboard design, I love the taste, I love the smell, and I think that the combination of overwhelming sweet mazipan and lovely soft spongy cake is wonderful. I think its great that you ...  Read the complete review

This is, without doubt or exception, the finest confectionery item I have ever had the orgasmic pleasure to consume. Its colour scheme reflects the fine diversity of its taste-gamut: it ranges from poppin' pink to yummy yellow, and many many more. The taste excels all comparison, even to the Seven Wonders of the World (but they are made of rock, ...  Read the complete review

This is a cake full of lovely memories for me since my Granny always served it up with a cup of tea when I went to visit as a child. Made by Lyons this currently costs £1.69 in Tesco for what they suggest will provide 6 servings. It is a very distinctive genoese sponge cake - squares of pink and yellow are alternated to ...  Read the complete review

I take it its not just be whose a massive battenburg fan then, seeing all the reviews. All i can say is battenburg is amazing. I can have slice after slice after slice anytime in the day and never get bored of it. The combination of flavoured sponges wrapped in that irresitable marsipan coating makes me mouth water. In major supermarkets eg. Asda, ...  Read the complete review

The story of how the cake got its name isn't quite clear, but it was thought that the Battenburg cake was created to honour the marriage of Queen Victoria`s Granddaughter to Prince Louis of Battenburg in 1884. Lyons was best known for their chain of Tea shops which were founded in 1894 and then finally closed in 1981. During the 1950`s Lyons ...  Read the complete review

This lovely Battenburg cake is made by the well known company Lyons.. I can remember the Battenberg cake slices that we had for Sunday tea when I was a child. I used to love seeing the pretty slice of cake on my plate. They are packaged in pretty wrapper mainly pink in blue. There is a nice picture of how the Battenberg look on the ...  Read the complete review

For years, one of my favourite cakes is Lyons Battenburg. Many manufactures do their own version of the sweet treat, however I find Lyons owns. Battenburg looks like a long yellow brick from the outside - this being the yellow sugary marzipan. Inside, from the side view, it is a checkered cake with yellow and pink squares of sponge. ...  Read the complete review

I do not eat very much cake and when I do my tastes are simple. Lyons Battenberg is a simple cake even though it looks complicated at first glance. The prettiness of Battenberg appeals to me because it is four squares of cake which alternate pink and yellow, this is then covered with a bright yellow marzipan layer and the whole cake ...  Read the complete review

Battenburg Cake has always struck me as quite an odd concept. I mean, who thought up the idea of using the different colours and different ingredients with their individual, very unsimilar tastes? But that aside, fortunately for us consumers whoever it was got lucky and the combination works. The Battenburg Cake, of German descent, is ...  Read the complete review

I was just taking a look around reading and rating when I happened upon the food section, and more specifically the cakes. Now I do like a nice piece of cake and I tend not to be too fussy – if it’s got lots of calories it’s OK by me! By the way I do know that, as a diabetic, I have to be careful so I do make cakes a treat not a daily ...  Read the complete review

It sits there on the plate so innocent-looking and angelic. The sugar is so finely sprinkled on the top, and the square segments are so neat it is unreal! But this is no ordinary cake! No, it is an addiction! One taste, and you can't stop! ***** History says that there is a chance this elegant cake was created to celebrate ...  Read the complete review

My waist gives away the fact that I do have a sweet tooth. Strange fact though I don’t take sugar in my hot drinks. Most of the time when I want a cake, it will be a swiss roll, normally half in one go, never do you find me slicing it all neatly. The only exception is Battenberg, this probably is a throwback to my childhood, then this ...  Read the complete review

It's probably apparent from my reviews that I'm rather partial to chocolate, so it will come as no surprise that I am in fact pretty keen on cakes too. I like most cakes as I do biscuits and choccie, fresh cream ones are very nice indeed but don't last very long. So what does one buy when one wants Good Cake at a reasonable price and ...  Read the complete review

Lyons Battenburg cake is not one I eat often it is really a cake I remember from my childhood Saturday teas at my Grams. When I was a child I lived in a thatched cottage it was next door to my Grans I suppose it was really a semi-detached cottage. On a Saturday my Gran would have all the grandchildren to tea in turns. When it was my cousins and ...  Read the complete review
