It is a pleasant contrast to have biscuits as well as cakes on the tea-table and a tin of home-made biscuits is always useful ... a stand-by for unexpected visitors or for days when there just isn’t enough time to make a cake.

George and Cecilia Scurfield, Home-made Cakes and Biscuits, 1963

Cakes are convivial. To my mind, the pleasure they bring is intended for sharing, whereas a delicate almond tuile, a crisp brandy snap or a square of chewy flapjack is often best enjoyed in solitude, in a comfortable chair with tea or coffee, when the biscuit’s flavour and texture can be properly appreciated.
