I have just received my order from ApprovedFood and it included 60 vanilla Bakin Boys muffins which I have split with a freind.

Has anyone any ideas what I can do with them other than just eating on their own?

They are small sized, about the size of a fairy cake.

    Make trifle with them, ice them with diff flavour icing, serve them with custard, cut in half and fill with chocolate or jam.

    spread jam on the top then dip then in dessicated coconut. I used to do this to fairy cakes when the kids were tiny and they loved them.

    Serve them with a bit of "sharp" fruit puree- eg a fruit puree made from blackberries or similar fruit and top off with a dollop of plain fromage frais?

    I am with faithcecillia - along the lines of a spongecake and custard combo. Perhaps mix in some nice raspberry jam there too. Mmmmmmmm rib sticking stuff :D

    Wow!

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

    The only one I had thought of was using them as fairy cakes and icing them.

    I think I had better stay away from approved foods site for a while.

    :rolleyes:
