Advantages: Sweet, delicious, never melt

Disadvantages: Flimsy packaging = occasional squashed cake

Oh man, French Fancies how I adore thee!

The sponge part is always soft and light, although if you try to stuff the whole thing in your mouth then it gets a bit difficult to deal with.

The outer icing is very sugary and sweet, especially the pink ones, and so with the fondant icing in the little lump on top it can be excessively sweet.

But despite the excessive sweetness they are still delicious! I highly recommend only eating one per day. I used to take one in my lunch box to work, so I would have a sandwich, packet of crisps, a small scotch egg and then a French Fancy for dessert.

They're superb value for money! And the best bit is that they don't melt during the summer, unlike chocolate biscuits which make a mega mess. Although one problem, the box is not that sturdy, so you might end up with a squashed one on occasion, not nice when the squashed part is the fondant bit in the middle.

Summary: Yummy but squashed
