I had a summer job at Kunzles‘s cake factory, in Garretts Green, for a couple of summers. I worked on a machine for cutting and filling jam tarts. Also painted red jam around the pastry cases for bakewell tarts before they were filled. Nearly chopped the end of my finger off clearing a machine for cutting sponge shapes for Cakelets.

We were working in the pre-baking end of the factory. There was a factory shop though where both misshapes and packed goods could be bought. My favourites were called japs. Yummy!

As an apprentice electrician we worked at Cadburys and they also had misshape shop and the best sweets in the bags you got were the Turkish Delights . The problem as I went home on two buses the test of my willpower was tremendous to get home without eating them .
On a Thursday I would be given a shipping order by all my mates for Friday for their girlfriends and parents , If my memory is correct the bags were 4oz brown paper bags stamped misshapes
