Here in the United Kingdom, angel cakes do not typically have icing on the top. I wonder, therefore, whether the photograph really is of an angel cake, as it does not look much like an angel cake as it would appear in the United Kingdom. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:11, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In reply, the picture is an Angel Slice by Mr Kipling, sold in the UK. Quizman1967 (talk) 08:51, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

wrong picture[edit]

that's not angel cake. I have just eaten some angel cake, so i know what it looks like. Just because someone invents a new recipe and calls it "blah blah angel cake" doesn't make it angel cake.

Similarly Mr Kipling slices are not angel cake - they are a derivative form that makes a more attractive commercial proposition, and being wrapped in pairs, are very handy for days out. But they still aren't angel cake.

I know Wikipedia is primarily US-based, and the bulk of the material on Wikipedia is "American" in nature, but seeing as Angel cake is descibed as a English/British cake, it might be nice to actually have an example of the English/British/"proper"/"rriginal" style, rather than a trendy, modern, foreign imitation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.90.25 (talk) 08:42, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
