I imagine the competition for such an honour in the tea cake sector is intense?
Talking about culinary matters, find "Storyville, Pastry Chef" on BBC iplayer. It was shown on BBC4 at the weekend. Superb programme.
Indeed, there's a lengthy queue; so they must bide their time for the Belmont Seal of Approval. :-)
