    Hi
    Just wonering what peoples views on Gateaux cakes are?
    I always enjoyed them when I went to my grandparaents house but never really got the urge to buy them myself.They are an old classic but I dont see much of them anymore apart from the odd visit to an old relatives house etc
    Are they an Irish brand dying out?

    I don't buy any shop cakes, they're always such a disappointment!
    You get one that looks nice and fresh then it just tastes like powdery processed crap:(

    It just makes me bake my own, tis a great diet!

    Exactly what Mrs W said ,
    Why buy processed cakes full of god knows what and taste like a chemical factory,

    When you can bake your own ,

    I've only got back into baking in the last 5 years my 2 kids wouldn't touch a cake from a box they stick to daddies creations

    I don't rate them at all, I really only used to get chocolate swiss rolls which used to be OK, above say own brand ones. Now they are like a "value range" own brand, well last time I had one.

    The staffords swiss rolls & general range seem to have taken their place, in my mind any way.
