<p>There was certainly a preference for these to be toasted. The chocolate was very good but would have liked more and the orange flavour was very subtle.<br></p>

Our thoughts
<p>The visual really differentiated these giving them a homemade appearance with an almost Italian-style wrapping. The icing was topped with orange marmalade strips which was a lovely detail. The sponge itself was very good; moist and with a nice nutty texture texture from the sunflower seeds. Not too sweet and an interesting flavour profile. A good list of ingredients - solid simple stuff like lemon peel, marmalade and spices.<br></p>

Our thoughts
<p>An alternative to chocolate is always welcomed at Easter. A pretty little tart with a good fill and a nice dusting. Good, crisp pastry which tempered the sweetness of the filling. The filling had an interesting flavour with subtle citrus and a mild spicy warmth. Judges found this one to be a grower.<br></p>
