Sir Joshua was a relentless experimenter with materials and subject matter. He chose a very popular stage actress known as Mrs. Abington who was not the most beautiful woman but presented in such a winsome manner that we not only feel as if we have met her but that we are charmed by her coyness.

Buttery chocolate cake with white frosting and a filling of the best Bavarian cream. Plain and simple a sweet sweet indulgence. Mrs. Abington was said to be a great player of comedy and we think this foody blend would suit her to a tee.
