Mary Berry Christmas Cake Mix - Tesco's - NOW £2!!

Thanks for the heads up on this one! Sainsburys have also reduced their Taste the difference cake baking kit to £2, but with theirs you have to buy the icing kit seperately, so Tesco's Mary Berry is a much better deal.
Also bought the Mary Berry cupcake set for £2.50.
Cheap way of keeping the children entertained on Monday next week, we'll be busy baking!

Sales, boots, charity shops, ebay- why would anyone ever pay full price for anything??!0 -
Bought mine for £3 this morning in Liverpool city centre store and just made it into 2 smaller cakes for 2 OAP neighbours. Smelt absolutely divine when cooking. Might go and buy another kit if they have them in my local store and make one for me.0

I've just cooked mine and I used one of those tins that have a removable bottom, think it's supposed to be for a cheesecake. It looks fine but there was a bit of oil leaked onto the tray below which must be some butter. Ah well there will be less calories per slice
