Hello Mr Kipling

Last night, I had my first French Fancy; delightful fondant iced sponge cakes with a vanilla flavoured filling. Whilst it sounds fancy, one might not find the ingredients so delightful; it claims to have no artificial colours or flavours but.....
Pink Fondant (18%) (Sugar, Water, Glucose Syrup, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Colour (Cochineal), Preservative (Potassium Sorbate)), Chocolate Flavoured Fondant (18%) (Sugar, Water, Glucose Syrup, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Preservative (Potassium Sorbate)), Yellow Fondant (12%) (Sugar, Water, Glucose Syrup, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Flavouring, Colour (Lutein), Preservative (Potassium Sorbate)), Wheat Flour, Vanilla Flavoured Filling (10%) (Sugar Glucose Syrup, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Modified Maize Starch, Dried Egg White, Emulsifier (Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids), Flavouring], Sugar, Reconstituted Whole Egg, Reconstituted Egg White, Glucose Syrup, Vegetable Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Lactose, Milk Protein, Salt, Emulisfiers(Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids, Soya Lecithins), Raising Agents (Disodium Dihydrogen, Sodium Bicarbonate), Maize Starch, Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Perservative (Potassium Sorbate), Stabiliser (Sorbitan Trisearate), Flavouring.
If these ingrediants are natural, their names certainly aren't!!
