kids cake mix - use by sept 2006

stevenshell

Must have bought this a long while ago - took it out to make these spiderman cakes with my son, and the use by date is 2006 - is it still ok to use do you think or should I just toss it out?

I'd use it, I have used these before a little out of date and they have been fine.

im not sure but that much out of date id be inclined to throw,unless some one could let me know otherwise sorry not much help

angel

I'd use it.

The shelf life for these things must be fairly long so I would have thought that a few months wouldn't make any difference at all. Actually I'd probably still use it if it was a year out of date, I mean it's mainly flour isn't it?

I'd not buy it in the first place! sorry aracnophobe in houseful of girls here :rolleyes:

but if I had, I'd use it that out of date - as long as it's not obviously jumping when you open the packet (thinking of flour weevils - you'll see them if present!)

I'd use it, but add a teaspoon of baking powder to make sure it rises.

In hastings there is a shop that sells all out of date stuff, all cupboard stuff, crisps, biscuits, drinks, etc so i guess it cant be all that bad.
