Amiens Street, Dublin Previously, I commented on the use of the word ‘Fancy’ in old shopfronts in Liscannor and Mallow.
In Amiens Street in Dublin last week, I spotted a reference to ‘Fancy Cakes’.
Maybe it is a sign of getting old when those cakes that were once fancy and exotic are now plain and everyday; cakes that were once a treat are now on par with a scone; cakes that contained cream that tasted a luxury rather than homogenised or fake.
Beam me back, Scottie
Oh for a real fancy cake……
