I have just read an article about some letters that Beatrix Potter wrote, and in one of them she praises her friends Hawkeshead Cake. I am curious - what is a Hawkeshead Cake? She mentions pastry and syrup - so I am thinking a sort of syrup tart? Does anyone know?

As I searched on google, I got different results for this particular word. And also saw many cakes photos, and now going out to eat a piece of pastry or cake grin
