A turning point?
For a couple of years now, we've always turned out with at least one Village Bakery Organic Carrot cake, without which we would have been unable to photograph a wedding.
However, whilst mooching round Waitrose last week I discovered Ixxy's Fruity Bagel Bars, which come individually wrapped in packs of three. These things are seriously scrummy! And filling! And unlike the carrot cake, they don't make your fingers sticky.

OK Dan, which aisle are the bagel bites in? I searched our Waitrose for them today, couldn't find them and had to make do with oat and raisin biscuits instead :)
Ali, they're near those pseudo-rustic breads that have mysterious bits in, alongside things like organic muffins made by grey-haired rosy-cheeked old ladies wearing flowery aprons who knead the dough in ancient Mason Cash bowls just like they always have ...
