    Anyone else feeling a little bit sorry for Mary Berry? :o

    Well no not at all, how i see it, is her cakes are now so well known for being so yummy, i think everyone is loving her cake mixs, we will all be wanting them again next year and hoping Mr T does this again for us, i may even buy one of Mary Berrys cook books if i can find one at a bargain price :T
    :wave:

  • Well, it's official, my cake is burnt and really dry (had to cut it before I put marzipan and icing on.... SO have just poured half a gallon of Southern Comfort in (no brandy or sherry in house) so I probably wont care that its burnt with the next taste!... MERRY Xmas Everyone.... And if I find at £2 today may just have to try again.....

    Cooked mine last night, took it out at 11:30, looks great this morning, may see if I can get a couple more kits on the way home tonight.
  • Picked up the cake mix (£2) and cupcake mix (£1).Very pleased was so tempted to get more at the latest cost but was a good girl, definately lots left in the tescos Ely area.
    A big thank you to all those who post on the forum and make it a worthwhile place!!!:j

    i don't use booze so i was not allowed the cupcake one. got away with the cake one by replacing the brandy soaked fruit. not bad as the icing and marzipan would cost more than £2.

    You do know that the Brandy can be replaced with 35ml of lemon juice, I made a few bags and took them into school. As a few teachers are Muslim I made a bag with the lemon icing, needless to say that the Brandy ones went down well with the rest of the teachers! :rotfl::rotfl:
