I've bought another pack today, I am going to make one for Easter Sunday (we usually have a few round) and put little chicks and easter decs on it.

Don't bother with the icing stage. Get or make an extra little bit of marzipan - you could use the icing sugar in the pack and just buy in additional ground almonds - add 11 small balls of marzipan to the top (one to represent each disciple except Judas), brown the top slightly under a grill, and you have a traditional Easter simnel cake!

Has anyone got a cupcake pack that they haven't used yet? I made the cakes and they were delicious, everyone who has tried one has asked for the recipe.

I was wondering if someone could weigh the bagged ingredients and I could try to make some from scratch?

This is just a guess but i am sure it's not far from the actual measurements;

180g Brown sugar
220g Self raising flour
300g Dried fruit mix
150g Icing sugar
40ml Brandy

850g in total

oh and the 3 eggs, orange and 250g of unsalted butter!

and don't forget the spices - about 2 tsp of mixed spice I reckon?

doesn't it give the weight on the instruction leaflet? I'm certain it does for the large cake

I popped into our local tesco in Maryhill, Glasgow today and they still have about 5 big shelves full of the christmas cake kits at £2 each. No cupcake ones though

Tesco in Wishaw still had a full shelf of these £2 christmas cake kits yesterday.

Why has this been put in the gone section? I have just picked up 4 of the cupcake packs at 50p per packet 1 for me, the rest for family members who were impressed when I made them and told them it was £1
