As someone from Cornwall, the pictures in the article don't look right. Clotted cream is much thicker; those cakes look like they're made with whipped cream.

- Tokkemon 3y agoYeah it looks like whipped cream (chantilly) in the splits. Isn't that correct?
- xen0 3y agoI think one might struggle to pipe clotted cream, or produce anything so 'elegant' with it. It's thick, being mostly fat (often >60%). At least in Cornwall, it's often bought in plastic tubs like ice cream (it will hold its shape, not flow), not jars or bottles.
- hgomersall 3y agoI expect not chantilly, just plain whipped cream.
- kwhitefoot 3y agoDefinitely whipped cream, but then it is a London bakery. Mind you not everyone in Devon takes cream seriously. I was at Darts Farm shop outside Exeter last summer and saw a stand advertising a Devon Cream Tea with a plast pot of Rodda's!
- xanderlewis 3y agoWhat’s wrong with Rodda’s?
- clort 3y agoRoddas is great stuff! However, it is cornish so perhaps not appropriate for a Devon Cream Tea?
- xanderlewis 3y agoAh!
- eigenket 3y agoFrom the article > and the small number of dishes considered to be Devonian often involve dairy, like junket topped with clotted cream, Devonian cream tea, and the Devon (or Devonshire) split: a sweetened bun filled with whipped cream and topped with a dot of strawberry jam Those pictures are of the splits
