Notes: "What a lovely idea to make a family recipe book! The Cadbury's Milk Flake is a sort of crumbly chocolate stick that you can crumble to make the icing have a bit of 'bite'. Not sure if you can get it in Canada, it might be a typically English thing, but I'm sure there is something similar. Even chocolate drops would probably do. The recipe came from Glenburn Methodist Church ladies group - this was my parents' church, and mine when I was in Belfast, and they were active members until they became too old. So it's a recipe with all sorts of memories!"
