Mr Kiplings Hot Cross Pies

These hot cross pies are not new but I felt that they taste like hot cross buns because of the fruit peel so if you like that then these are for you.

Mr Kipling cherry bakewell sponge pudding

I love sponge puddings but just realized I haven't reviewed any from Mr Kiplings so I got the cherry bakewell to try.
They were bought from a corner shop as you don't really get these in the supermarket.
Overall, the almond flavour in the sponge was lovely but too sweet overall and the texture of the sponge was too soft and soggy for my liking.

[Review] Mr Kipling 6 Carrot Cake Slices

I love carrot cake which obviously comes in a form of cake which you can get everywhere at any supermarket.
The problem is finishing off a whole cake to myself was a bit difficult so the Carrot cake slices by Mr Kipling are perfect as most cake shops and cafes are closed.

The packaging has improved as it is no longer six slices in one pack but 3 packs of two slices inside which make them last longer and you don't have to find a container for the rest.

The only thing I was not keen on was the sultanas which would give it sweetness as well as the cream cheese icing.

Overall, the carrot cake slices were delicious and satisfied my carrot cake cravings however the taste was really festive and made me feel like Christmas because of the strong spices like nutmeg, clove, caraway and ginger which I was not expecting!

[Review] Mr Kipling Mini Bakewell Selection

Every now and then there will be some exciting products from Mr Kipling.
This time it was the mini series, there were mini bakewells, mini fruit pies and mini sponge tarts.

Ended up buying the mini bakewell selection as you won't find the caramel ones sold separately.



To summarize, they were just cute and my favourites were the caramel and the regular bakewell.



The lemon was least liked because it was a bit artificial for my liking.

[Review] Mr Kiplings Marshmallow Slices

Mr Kiplings Marshmallow Slices appealed to me because of the Marshmallow even though you couldn't really see the marshmallow filling.
As expected the filling wasn't a bit like marshmallow but the chocolate cake part was delicious as it had a strong cocoa taste without being too sweet.
The individual boxes gives it a plus in the sense that you don't have to finish them all at once.

[Review] Mr Kipling After Dinner Mint Fancies

Mr Kipling has done it again with another delicious treat called the After Dinner Mint Fancies.

It is a light chocolate sponge topped with a smooth mint creme enrobed in soft chocolate fondant.

Although it was quite sweet but definitely the treat to go with tea.


I loved the soft chocolate fondant coating because it goes really well with the texture of the soft cake.
The sweetest part is actually the mint creme in the middle.
Overall I was glad I tried this.
Hopefully they will come up with a blackforest Fancy with cherry creme or cherry compote.

Victoria mini classics by Mr Kipling

My favourite cakes, however they were slightly too hard and sweet, but after refrigerating them they tasted slightly better.



(source from Wiki)
The Victoria sponge cake was named after Queen Victoria, who favoured a slice of the sponge cake with her afternoon tea. It is often referred to simply as sponge cake, though it contains additional fat. A typical Victoria sponge consists of raspberry jam and whipped double cream or vanilla cream. The jam and cream are sandwiched between two sponge cakes; the top of the cake is not iced or decorated apart from a dusting of icing sugar. However the Women's Institute do not class this as a Victoria sponge. Their version only has raspberry jam as the filling and is dusted with caster sugar, not icing sugar.[10]
A Victoria sponge is made using one of two methods. The traditional method involves creaming caster sugar with fat (usually butter), mixing thoroughly with beaten egg, then folding flour and raising agent into the mixture. The modern method, using an electric mixer or food processor, involves simply whisking all the ingredients together until creamy.[7][9][8] Additionally, the modern method typically uses an extra raising agent, and some recipes call for an extra-soft butter or margarine.[citation needed] Both the traditional and modern methods are relatively quick and simple, producing consistent results, making this type of mixture one of the most popular for children and people in a hurry. This basic 'cake' mixture has been made into an endless variety of treats and puddings, including fairy cakes, butterfly cakes, chocolate cake, Eve's pudding and many others.[7][9][8]
Other names for the Victoria Sponge are Victoria Sandwich and, less commonly, Victorian Cake.
Although simple to make, Victoria sponge recipes are notoriously sensitive to cooking times and temperatures. As such, oven manufacturers often use a Victoria sponge recipe to test their ovens.
