Let's have some more information here - when was the custard cream first made (the BBC article suggests it's been around since Victorian times), and which company made it? 217.155.20.163 19:14, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I rember reading that it was invented by Huntley and Palmers, authough I cant rember where. Can anyone verfify?--Talkshowbob (talk) 16:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about the characteristic pattern moulded onto the biscuits - Do all custard creams have this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.24.167.10 (talk) 09:47, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The baroque markings are in-fact Victorian fern fronds which were in vogue in the latter half of the 19th century. The Victorians were also very keen on puddings and the new eggless Birds Custard powder introduced in the mid 19th Century was being referenced in the Custard Cream.

We believe that the Custard Cream was probably more likely Huntley & Palmers (Reading) rather than Peek Frean (Bermondsey South London) as Peek Frean claim that their first cream sandwich biscuit was the Bourbon, which seems to date more recently than the Custard Cream. Another company who dates from the same period and with a long association with the Custard Cream is Crawfords, now part of United Biscuits. Its entirely possible that it was indeed Crawfords who produced the Custard Cream, they were based in Edinburgh but opened a new factory in Liverpool in 1897. This is about the time the Bourbon was introduced (1910) which indicates that the mechanisation required to produce a sandwich cream on an industrial scale was in existence.

Baroque Markings?

Baroque? Really? Could someone verify this as it looks a lot more like Victorian Gothic than anything baroque. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gypsydave5 (talk • contribs) 14:26, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"World Record" Section Out-of-Date

I believe the record for the largest custard cream that is mentioned in the article was broken in 2013. This Yahoo News article describes the new largest custard cream, which measures "68cm (27ins) long, 50cm (20ins) high, and 15cm (6ins) thick."
