Sponge Fingers

Dad made sponge fingers, the perfect treat for toddlers, once a week. When stressed mums came into the shop with a child crying, Mum quickly handed out a sponge finger and the noise instantly stopped. The only downside was the trail of crumbs left behind. Sponge fingers were also used for charlotte russe, which was made to order, and homemade trifles, which we served with a cherry on top in a small silver-plated dish.
