==French Fancies {{anchor|French Fancy}}==
Mr Kipling French Fancies are small [[sponge cake]]s, topped with a hemisphere of vegetable-oil "[[buttercream]]". The cakes are coated with [[fondant icing]], with several varieties drizzled with a second colour. Standard varieties are pink ("vanilla") with white drizzle, yellow ("lemon") with brown drizzle, and brown (chocolate) with dark brown drizzle.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bestofbritish.com.au/d254-163/mr-kipling-8-french-fancies |title=Mr Kipling 8 French Fancies - Cakes - Grocery - Best of British Perth |website=Bestofbritish.com.au |year=2012 |access-date=17 March 2012 |archive-date=27 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327185326/http://www.bestofbritish.com.au/d254-163/mr-kipling-8-french-fancies |url-status=dead }}</ref>
