   Wow…I think I got a bellyache and a cavity just looking at that. But I have to admit that it looks tasty.

    I’ve been eating far to many creme eggs lately, this has just given me an excuse to make a cake from them!

      It’s fabulous, isn’t it? If you make one I look forward to seeing it on your blog. I still have very fond memories of that other amazing cake you made with the sweeties all over it.

    OK, we went from decrying the unhealthy state of hospital food to a Cadbury creme egg and now a Cream Egg Cake! Do I detect a bit of a split personality here? Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

    The cake, btw, makes me want to buy an airline ticket!

      You’ve got me bang to rights guv, I am guilty of scoffing unhealthy foodstuffs and of alternating them with salads. It’s one extreme to the other. Mind you, I do consider chocolate a health food on the whole, but I admit I might be pushing it with a Creme Egg.

      
      
      • on March 9, 2012 at 20:01 | Reply almostnothingbutmusic

        Chocolate is made from plants which makes it a salad, and ketchup is a vegetable dense with lycopene. I use artifical sweeteners to make more room for chocolate.

          That’s simply the best argument for chocolate I’ve ever heard. You’re my hero!

    They outlawed opium, then cannabis. Creme egg cakes will be next.

    No one can enjoy themselves that much legally.

    Overwhelmed? Let’s just say there have been tears…
    LOL – no, not that bad yet on day two of no chocolate (that heads a much bigger list of noes btw) but gee… I wish I had a scratch ‘n sniff screen on my laptop for this pic!

      My dear girl, what can I say but more apologies. I should have put a warning at the top so that you could avoid looking at it. I used to collect scratch ‘n’ sniff stickers at school, you’ve just brought a memory soaring out of the past with that comment.

      Me too, I’ve been told of a few good tearooms in Edinburgh since I left there a number of years ago and it’s high time I investigated them. Have you ever been to Loopy Lorna’s in Morningside?

      
      
      • on March 10, 2012 at 10:38 | Reply Jo Woolf

        No! I’m sure I’d remember! I’ve been in a couple of coffee bars and eateries in Edinburgh – Valvona & Crolla is amazing. The others are memorable mainly for a darkly haunting atmosphere. Deacon Brodie’s Tavern in the Royal Mile… and we’ve visited two in West Bow, up from Grassmarket. I will try to remember if it’s any help!

          Thanks Jo, any recommendations very welcome! Valvona’s is amazing, lovely coffees. I used to go there for breakfast now and then when I lived in Edinburgh, it felt very civilised.

            I’m really sorry but I can’t remember the names of the other places. They weren’t that memorable and I think one of them might have closed since then. If we visit any really good ones in the meantime, I’ll be sure to let you know!

            
            
            • on March 11, 2012 at 09:41 tearoomdelights

              No problem at all Jo, it was a very kind thought all the same. I’m always delighted to receive recommendations, but I don’t expect them. The fact that they do close down from time to time is one of the things that makes writing guide books a bit of a dodgy business.

      Thanks, it does look amazing doesn’t it? I think I would have trouble not wolfing it if I had it in my kitchen. Do you mean your kids can’t eat hen’s eggs, or Creme Eggs?

        Hen’s eggs (though usually, the cream eggs have “traces of egg” so they can’t eat those either)…bummer, isn’t it?

          Poor souls, that is awful. I didn’t know Creme Eggs had traces of egg in them.
