The name actually changed a few years ago. They used to be called Fondant Fancies but then became French Fancies out of the blue. The Mr Kipling variety probably doesn't originate from France but I expect the recipe is inspired by some delicate and pretty French cakes from the many patisseries there!

Forget the name Mr. Kipling and French Fancies; these are just names created by advertising teams, to sell the product.

No, its just a fancy name! I'm married to a French guy and he is even puzzled to why they are called that!
I didn't even know that there is a game called French Cricket!

They are delicious! I don't mind where they originated from, as long as they end up on a nice china plate next to my cup of tea!
