The Washington Bullets mascot, also known as a team mascot, is a figure or character that represents the Washington Bullets basketball team. The mascot serves as a symbol of the team's identity and is often seen at games, events, and community engagements. In the past, the Washington Bullets had two mascots. The first mascot was known as "Hoops" and was introduced in 1995. Hoops was a young, energetic wizard character that wore the team's colors and interacted with fans during games. The mascot was loved by fans and became a popular figure in the Washington Bullets community.
The flavour is just as sugary sweet as I remember these being (the last time I had Mr. Kipling French Fancies was this British version back in 2012!), but they do have a lovely soft cake texture and melt in the mouth topping. The orange flavour does come through strongly but it's funny how the green colouring does trick your brain into thinking they have a bit of a lime flavour in there too! Orange is not really one of my favourite flavours so I didn't enjoy the taste here as much as the rest of my family did. I would prefer to see a more interesting autumnal flavour used for these but I still appreciate Mr. Kipling giving us such innovative and fun themes for their seasonal cakes.
Kipling have plenty of Halloween themed cakes out at the moment, from Terror Whirls to Chocolate Slime Slices, but I was especially drawn to their new new Witches Hat Fancies.

Mr. Kipling have plenty of Halloween themed cakes out at the moment, from Terror Whirls to Chocolate & Slime Slices, but I was especially drawn to their new new Witches Hat Fancies. They're designed to play a trick on your taste buds as the green sponge is actually orange flavoured. Each cake is also topped with a vanilla flavoured cream and is decorated with black icing.
I'm not actually the biggest fan of the original Mr. Kipling French Fancies, and I'm not usually tempted by their limited edition flavours either, but I just thought these ones looked extra special. The black icing gives the cakes a very unique appearance and they're certainly great looking little cakes for Halloween.

'We've had a boot scuff on the amtico flooring for about a year, NOTHING we had tried and no amount of hard graft could get it out. One or two wipes of this with NO effort put in, and it was gone in seconds. I am speechless.'

Reviews for "The Washington Bullets Mascot: Does It Still Represent the Team's Identity?"
- Alex - 2 stars - I am not a fan of the Washington Bullets mascot. I find it kind of outdated and it doesn't really represent the team or the city in a meaningful way. It's just a generic, cartoonish character that seems out of touch with the modern image of the team. I think they could definitely come up with something better and more relevant to the team's history and identity.
- Sarah - 1 star - The Washington Bullets mascot is just plain awful. It's a giant, walking bullet with a smiley face. It's not cute or funny, it's just strange and kind of creepy. I don't understand why they would choose such a random and unrelatable mascot. The team deserves something better that actually represents their spirit and connects with the fans.
- Jake - 2 stars - I have to say, I'm not a fan of the Washington Bullets mascot. It feels outdated and doesn't really resonate with me as a fan. I think they could definitely come up with something more creative and engaging. The current mascot just seems lazy and uninspired. I hope they can come up with something better in the future.
