Mr Kipling Angel Slices

A double layer of pink and yellow sponge with a vanilla filling, topped with icing - Angel Slices are a lunchbox favourite, especially since they come in easy to transport, individual packets to take on the go.

Mr Kipling Almond Slices

One of the brands' take on the classic bakewell, these bitesize Almond Slices have a pastry base filled with a sweet almond filling, a layer of jam and topped with flaked almonds. Perfect for lunchboxes or as a snack at tea break.
