Post #3 - April 1st, 2015, 10:19 pmJolly Posh and Pleasant House (964 W 31st St; 773-523-7437) seem the likeliest sources. I'm annoyed I didn't think to call them earlier. But who knows, they may already be baking their simnel cakes.

No and no.
Perhaps receiving inquiries this year will inspire them to make them next year.
