“Too bloody good”
“I felt like I should be sat in a tea shop at the seaside, indulging in a full cream tea”
“Very lovely and the prettiest entry to date. But is it a biscuit…?!”

“Very nice – def upped the game!”
“Superb aesthetically, and a wonderful rich taste; campest biscuit yet. If, indeed, it is a biscuit and not a fancy.”
“Just beautiful, loved the colour, loved the icing, loved the sweetness. Very yummy – I don’t think I could eat more than one though!”

"Doesn't taste of coffee - more party ring for grown ups! Touch too sweet for me."
"Quite sweet but strangely alluring."
"A bit like an Iced Gem. A little sweet for my biscuit tastes."
