From the days of my childhood, one treat has held a special place in my heart - the French Fancies, also known as Fondant Fancies. Picture dainty squares of vanilla sponge cake, each crowned with a dollop of creamy buttercream, lovingly coated in a layer of delectable fondant icing. While the traditional Fondant Fancies include jam and marzipan, my fondest memories circle around the simplicity and delightful taste of the Mr. Kipling "French Fancy" version. For me, these are the epitome of perfection, as I'm not particularly fond of marzipan!

Crafting these little wonders may require a touch of patience, but fear not, they are far more approachable than you might imagine!

Madeleines are delicate, shell-shaped French cakes that are beloved for their light and tender texture. One of the most distinctive features of a classic madeleine is the hump that forms on the back of the cake during baking. This hump is a result of the unique baking technique used for madeleines. By starting the baking process at a high temperature and then switching it off for a brief resting period, the batter reacts and creates a burst of steam. This rapid expansion causes the characteristic bump to form, giving madeleines their iconic appearance. The hump not only adds visual appeal but also contributes to the delightful contrast in texture between the crisp edges and the soft, moist center of the cake. It's a little touch that makes madeleines truly special and a delight to savor with a cup of tea or coffee.
