New Part Work - Baked & Delicious

Kelz

I bought one today and used the moulds and they were brilliant; I've looked at silicone but not tried it before. I'm umming about subscription (thanks to whoever worked out the cost up there) I think I will as didn't realise I could cancel at anytime, I'm just someone who gets excited about post so will be more inclined to start as soon as I receive it my son was looking at the step by step recipes with pictures and wants to try the cakes himself so I think the colours and style would be brilliant at getting my four involved ..... Well so much for umming lol

I'd rather spend the money on decent kit I get to choose myself

Well I treated myself to the first one today - very nice cupcake moulds and the recipes do look nice but I don't think I would buy it for £4.99 whatever they chucked in as a freebie - been coming on here too long :rotfl:

Buying the part work smacks to me of making like you're doing something rather than actually *doing* anything (trust me, I know about these things :rotfl: ) Even once you've got the freebies you still have all the ingredients to buy, once it goes up in price you could spend the money on pretty paper cases, a muffin tin, flour, eggs, chocolate chips/nuts etc instead and get cracking!

First one will be good value - my silicon cup-cases were far more expensive, but please don't buy the rest! (And I still prefer cooking in tins)

Pop to the library, or go to the charity shop and pick up some old-fashioned baking books - my go-to books are still the Dairy Cookbook, and the Good Housekeeping books I inherited from my Nanna, and you can spend the rest of the money on a couple of good tins, and some fancy bits like icing bags.

I priced up one of these subscription things for my godson to make a boat or dinosaur or remote car or whatever he was into at that time, and it was in the hundreds. Not MSE at all!

I promise you, the best recipes will be on here, in old fashioned cook books, and searching online.

I bought the first one, but I won't be buying any more. I wasn't impressed with the recipes, and the silicone cases were no better than the ones in Poundland.
I shouldn't really say this, because I'm an A/Manager for a chain of newspaper shops, but most of the cookery/baking magazines are rubbish, and just copy recipes available for nothing online.

There are plenty of recipes here is OS for a start. As well as lots of experience for answering questions and giving advice. Silicon used to be expensive a few years ago but you can easily buy it cheap all over the place now. But even cheap baking tins with liners would be fine for baking. L*keland sell non stick cake tin liners.

I am still waiting on issue 128 and the chick & piglet cookie cutters despite paying for them on the 2nd April. I have emailed the company numerous times only to be told they are still out of stock. Is anyone else still waiting on any issues of Baked & Delicious although the collection is supposed to have come to an end?

These are the only things I am missing to have the complete collection.
