Thomas Tunnock Limited, commonly known as Tunnock's, is a Scottish confectionery company based in Uddingston, Scotland. It is headed by Boyd Tunnock, grandson of Thomas. In 2013, a joint report by Family Business United and Close Brothers Asset Management named it the 20th oldest family firm in Scotland.

Tunnock's was formed by Thomas Tunnock (b. 1865) as Tunnock's in 1890, when he purchased a baker's shop in Lorne Place, Uddingston. The company expanded in the 1950s, and it was at this time that the core products were introduced to the lines, when sugar and fat rationing meant that products with longer shelf-lives than cakes had to be produced.

The Tunnock's Teacake is a sweet food often served with a cup of tea or coffee. It was developed by Sir Boyd Tunnock in 1956, and consists of a small round shortbread biscuit covered with a dome of Italian meringue, a whipped egg white concoction similar to marshmallow, although somewhat lighter in texture. This is then encased in a thin layer of milk or dark chocolate and wrapped in a red and silver foil paper for the more popular milk chocolate variety, with blue, black, and gold wrapping for the dark.

Retired RAF bomber pilot Tony Cunnane told of how Tunnock's Teacakes became a favourite ration snack of the V bomber nuclear deterrent flight crews based at RAF Gaydon, especially after discovering that they expanded at high altitude. In 1965 this ended after one was left unwrapped and exploded on the instrument panel and led to a ban by the RAF.

In April 2025 the RAF Centre of Aerospace Medicine gave the all-clear for the teacakes to be used in flights again, after tests in an altitude chamber found the teacakes did not explode!

Since 2005, Tunnock's has sponsored the Tour of Mull, an annual car rally held on the Isle of Mull.

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday!

An excellent way to keep the kitchen clean, L.Ann!

Twins Mum,.I never answered you question yesterday. I have to write everything down, or I run the risk of forgetting it! My lists were a mixture of things I like to do on a daily or weekly basis (somehow there's a satisfaction in ticking them off as they're done! ) appointments, things that need doing urgently and things I intend to do "one day".

Today DH is hopefully going to his brother's for a long weekend (there was some doubt whether this is still happening yesterday evening and DBIL wasn't feeling great) and it's also parish lunch at a local pub after church. That also had a small crisis yesterday evening as DF E rang me to tell me she's been in hospital (!) this week and didn't feel up to coming. (I gather it's something to do with her blood pressure doing weird things and making her dizzy. They e changed her meds, but she's still feeling very tired and understandably doesn't feel up to coming). I know she's 99, but she sounded "old" on the phone, which is unusual for her . But I know she's continuing to get very good care now she's back at home. This was around 8pm, but the pub of course would still be open, so I quickly emailed them to let them know we're now 11. I'm just hoping everyone else remembers and no one else drops out!

Other than that, there's the Waitrose delivery between 6-7 pm, and I would like to get another box wrapped -maybe while I'm in the kitchen waiting? And the front garden could do with watering, if it doesn't rain!

Sleep well, Gma! You got so much done in your house - it must feel good having decluttered all those sewing supplies. WTG!

Morning kittykatt! Sounds like a fun knitting project, helian.

Little Bit decided on story time at the library so we did that. DGD would stay the whole summer, GMA and DGS gets homesick pretty fast. He had to either go home on Wednesday morning or stay until the weekend. He wanted to stay until Thursday but that wasn’t an option with his dad’s schedule. We had a nice time and he will come back again. I loved having them but it was a long month so I am ready for “normal”. DM died on the 4th, DD32 got sick again on the 6th(thankfully the meds she is on meant she could fight off the infection without a hospitalization but we were hoping she wouldn’t get sick again), we left on the 8th to see the Utah family and then I had grandkids from the 15-30.
