Make this into a series! you could test all the classic flavours like chocolate, vanilla, carrot,... then make one group out of the odd and unusual flavours, and you could also test different types of desserts and pastries :) Though it would be great to see Tesco and MS included as well :P

We don't really have fondant cakes except fruit cake at Xmas. Definitely think you should see if you can pick up 'birthday cakes' from around the world at different bakeries around near you.
