    The icing and marzipan in this are worth £2! Great if you are planning a cake for Easter.
  • The cupcakes were lovely I bought some of the mix reduced before xmas and it made 12 huge cupcakes .I just had to add butter and eggs and an orange.

    If I got the fruit cake and made it, and kept feeding it, would it keep?

  • Both cake & cupcakes worked like a dream for me. The cupcakes just seemed to vanish - in preference to all sorts of shop-bought things. And someone thought my Mary Berry Xmas cake had been bought in M&S :rotfl::rotfl:


    I'm half thinking of going to see if there are any more cupcake mixes in my Tesco ... & I've already got 5 packs stashed in our cellar!

    We made the cupcakes on Christmas day. They were very tasty. A great buy for £1. Even better at 50p!
