I'm from NZ and we used to make these at a cafe I worked at in Taupo, they were popular - but old fashioned.

Yeah looks like something a nanna would make/like.

Definitely not popular in Melbourne. Never see them.

They are at literally every bakery.

They are the ones your mum never let you have. Usually quite expensive comparatively too. And small.

The pic on wiki is wrong though. They have 1/2 choc icing and 1/2 plain white. And lemon flavoured

They are half chocolate icing, half pink icing. And sugar flavoured. I've never heard of the ones you've described. Kiwi?

Never been in a Couplands, they're not really widespread in the North Island. And while I've been in plenty of supermarkets and had stuff from their bakeries, I have never seen this.
