Alice the Camel Mar 2018 5:17pm, 3 Mar 2018 3,551 posts	0 Alice the Camel That one of the 3 original recipes for simnel cake originated in Devizes. That Devizes simnel cake is star shaped, and that the "common" (popular) simnel cake with marzipan follows the Shrewsbury recipe. The other recipe originated in Bury, if I remember correctly.

Although tbh I have some doubts over that fact (from This Is Cirencester).
