Iced mine today and even tho I paid £5 for it I'm pleased as it waS so easy and quick to make. Are the use-by dates long enough to buy a £3 one and save till next year?

I can't find a BB date on my package (might have been at the top where I cut the bag open) but I think people have said it's Feb 2012?

My 4" ones took around 2hr40min. That was on their own, when there was 2 in the oven then an extra 20min or so.

I wouldn't do foil, as may damage the icing. Have you got a cake tin, or any air tight storage container? That would be better.

I got the cupcakes yesterday in the Bristol store lots of them there and also the christmas cake

Lots of MB cake and cupcake mixes left at Truro Tesco's in Cornwall, I resisted as I needed to be a gluten free cake for my beloved which was about 10% the size for the same price. But I didn't have to bake it
