[Review] Mary Berry Raspberry Ripple Cake

I have always wanted to try Mary Berry's cake so I finally got one at the bigger supermarkets that stock them.

The one I got was the Raspberry Ripple Cake.

After trying the cake, I actually wanted another piece of cake when I finished.

The texture of the vanilla sponge was how I liked it in the sense that it was firm but not too dense.

The cake had a great texture and taste filled with quality raspberry jam and extra raspberry ripple on top.

This is definitely a cake I'll remember because the vanilla sponge itself is good as well as the filling whereas some cakes rely on the filling but the cake itself is such a let down.

[Review] McVities Orange and Cranberry Jaffa Cakes

McVities Jaffa cakes are always delicious especially the non orange ones for people who do not like citrus flavours.
My favourite non citrus flavours from Jaffa cakes have been the strawberry and pineapple.

For Christmas McVities have launched the Orange and Cranberry Jaffa Cakes as well as the Christmas pudding and gingerbread digestives.

I finally got my McVities Orange and Cranberry Jaffa Cakes from ASDA for 60p which is the cheapest.
The cranberry and orange jaffa cakes were delicious and addictive because the flavours of orange and cranberry were balanced.
The thing that makes them delicious jaffa cakes is the crack of the chocolate coating and the jelly in the middle which has a slight chew to it.





I also tried M&S version festive version which was clementine and cranberry but the citrus flavour was too strong and just tasted like orange so overall McVities Orange and cranberry jaffa cakes fared better.



[Review] Sainsbury's Apricot & Almond Scrolls

Ever since I tried the Sainsburys iced raisin whirl I was addicted to the icing.

This time I got the Apricot & Almond Scrolls which was delicious as expected because the apricots are not as sweet yet the icing balances nicely.






[Review] Morrisons Wildflower Honey & Stem ginger yogurt

Every supermarket is doing honey and ginger yoghurts.
Tried Morrisons version which was Wildflower Honey & Stem ginger yogurt.
It had delicious pieces of crisp candied ginger while the honey was not to overwhelming so I really recommend this.



[Review] Sainsbury's Raspberry crowns

The pastries never fail at Sainsbury's so this time I got the Raspberry crowns which is a Danish pastry with the corners folded in like a crown with raspberry jam in the middle.
The pairing of jam and pastry never fails but the raspberry seeds were a bit annoying.




[Review] Sainsbury's Maple and Pecan Plait

The pastries never fail at Sainsbury's so this time I got the Maple and Pecan Plait which is a Danish pastry plait with maple remonce, topped with pecan nuts and glaze.
I really liked it because the maple was strong yet not too sweet.
The pecan nuts on top gave it a nice crunch.
