  • Plenty of cake and cupcake mixes at Edinburgh Corstorphine yesterday. There were big boxes of the cake mix by the door, and then at the end of the baking isle they had loads of both mixes. Got 2 cup cake mixes: one for visitors on Boxing Day and one for visitors the next day.

    I bought some at Allerton Road on Wednesday, but there were only a few left.
    They still had lots of boxes of the Cake though. Have stocked up on the cake for the new year.

    Thank you. Allerton had loads of Cake mix on Wednesday. but sadly no cupcake mix.

    There were a ton of the £2 cake kits at the Stratford on Avon Tesco yesterday, picked one up after mum made hers, and she paid £5 for it! Still great value even at that price.

    Did change it slightly, bought seperate marzipan and the all in one royal icing so I could cover the whole cake, plus mum's vowed to never make her own royal icing since it went badly once before, but when you're just adding water that's nice and simple :)

    Nobody go shopping for them tomorrow though. I'm going to be on the tills and its going to be busy enough as it is! :(

    it uses 1/2 lb of butter in the cup cakes. 420 cals per cup cake so take it easy. you must leave room for yout turkey.

    Dont have a video but from memory (I made them 2 days ago)..

    cream 150g butter with brown sugar, add flour, mixed spice then 3 eggs and orange zest and juice then fruit.
    put in oven at 180 for half an hour
    For icing use 100g butter and mix with icing sugar until combined then add brandy or lemon juice :)
