Apologies for the delay - Christmas got in the way just here.<br /><br />I've not revisited many of the older Nadacha cakes, but I was decidedly terrified by the progress of the one in this article. Many other cakes from the same year (I really binged in 2009) are aging very nicely, sometimes in tong that are situated precisely next to the tea in this article, and so I would Hobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-80131631731814076222014-12-05T21:37:36.731+00:002014-12-05T21:37:36.731+00:00Hi Hobbes , I posted a comment here two or three ...Hi Hobbes , I posted a comment here two or three days ago - it was apparently awaiting your approval .

I managed to acquire two cakes back in 2009 - I seem to remember that it was a maximum of two cakes per customer , and that they sold out extremely quickly ! I was sailing through the first cake at a fair old rate and had to hide the second one away for fear of demolishing both - it really was lovely when young !
