Barry, you have to try one. It's a choux pastry case pumped full of coffee cream....and topped with a chocolate button.

You can tell a lot about a person, how they deal with the choc button. - I generally eliminate it first, then onto the choux pastry.....

it must be my junior-cake-hunter palate Henry, clearly in need of some education

For those with a high 'disposable income'!! Nice cakes at House of Bruar....coffee is crap though.

Can you get them on prescription then ? - if not, sounds like its time for a campaign.

John,

I think your talking about tattie scones. Also nice toasted with butter

Wish i could buy them in england :-(

Ahh, the Fisher and Donaldson fudge donut. Ahh, the Fisher and Donaldson donut, Kept me going through my studies at St Andrews. THe ultimate was to have one of them at the Victoria Cafe with a mug of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and a flake in it.

While the Coffee Tower and a espresso sounds like a good combo I recall it being a little too sickly for its own good.

However, F&D's hidden secret was Paving Stones. A kind of ginger snap-like biscuit cake. Very, Very tasty. When I used to contribute to the Craige Column I a reader asked what happened to them. I wrote a wee piece and F&D brought some round. Magic. A good discovery.

However, up there next to the fudge donut is the mighty sugar donut from Dino's diner in Sauchiehall Street. Magnificent in size, texture and tastiness.

Finally, any thoughts on who serves the best caramel shortcake/millionaires shortbread. One of the cafe's down in the basement of Princes' Square used to serve one that had almost crisp chocolate layer on the top. Magic
