    Did they allow you the 9 packs for the coupon?!
    I didn't try it with the 9-pack, as the coupon is specifically for the 4-pack and they double-checked the coupon against the product to make sure it was the right one; might be worth trying, though, and then pleading ignorance if it gets noticed?

    Are you treating yourself?
    I would love it for myself, but would also like to buy one for my niece. Normally I would get the Kindle version, but this really looks like a book to hold in your hands!

    I have Christmas spiced cupcakes in the oven, courtesy of Mary Berry's recipe sheet, from the kit a couple of years ago :)

    Now they were a good deal! Only seen Christmas cake kits this year in T's.

    I used a couple of these last month, went down very well at work. Have one left, will do them when I finish for the holidays, and when I have a bleedin kitchen in.
    But my sparkly new super dooper cooker arrived today, cant wait to see it unwrapped and in place. Though it will probably be a couple of days yet, kitchen only started going in today.
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    What is the recepe please

    Spiced Christmas Cupcakes:

    200g dark brown sugar
    225g self raising flour
    6g mixed spice
    190g mixed fruit sultanas/raisins/currants/mixed peel
    150g butter (but I've used soft margarine )
    3 medium eggs
    1 orange

    Preheat oven to 160degrees fan or gas mark 4.

    Beat butter or margarine, with sugar until very soft.
    Fold in flour and mixed spice until well blended.
    Beat in eggs, zest and juice of the orange.
    Stir in dried fruit mix.

    Divide between 12 cup cake cases.

    Bake for 30-35 minutes until well risen and golden brown.

    Leave in tin for 15 mins to cool, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely

    When cool, decorate with buttercream (100g butter/margarine and 225g of icing sugar, and either 35ml of lemon juice, or 35ml of brandy) and any other decorations you fancy! I'll be using the cutest little silver balls that I found in B&M bargains today :)

    Locarr I got the same thing, free delivery. When you say it works now on any shop- do you mean a shop less than £40?
