[SAINSBURY'S] pirate fairy cake mix

As a kid, I have always made fairy cakes from cake mixes bought from Sainsbury's.
They come in basic flavours like chocolate or vanilla with different themes from time to time.
The chocolate one I got was the pirate.

Normally for girly themes, it would be the vanilla packs and the boyish themes are the chocolate cupcakes.
Compared to the cake mixes when I was a child, it used to be printed rice paper in the set but now they give you sugar paste decorations which is pretty but I prefer rice paper!

Pretty idiot proof, you just mix egg and water, put the mixtures into the cake case, bake and garnish with icing sugar and the sugar paste decorations.









Anyway, I thought they tasted good because the cake itself wasn't too sweet because I tried it without the icing so adding the icing makes the sweetness just right.
The moistness of the cake was not too bad as well.

For best results use a metal cupcake baking tray if you have one!!

Calbee American Buffalo Wings flavoured crisps

The packaging for the Calbee American Buffalo Wings flavoured crisps was exciting so I got a pack.



The taste was really good with a good spicy punch to it, however the thing that let it down was the sour notes of the buffalo sauce, it was non existent as advertised!



TESCO Lasagne

Everything was good but the sauce let it down because it was too sweet.


It can be put in oven or microwave.



TESCO Spaghetti bolognese

Tasted bland so added salt to enhance the taste.
Can be put in the oven microwave.



TESCO finest roasted Hazelnut yoghurt

Loved this roasted Hazelnut yoghurt, it had pieces of hazelnut to it which added to the nutty taste and it wasn't too sweet.


TESCO finest Intense black cherry yoghurt

Loved this black cherry yoghurt which was loaded with pieces of cherry.

TESCO finest chocolate tea

The first time I had chocolate tea was at Shortbread Teas and I loved it because of the addictive chocolate taste.
Ever since they closed down, I couldn't find a tea to replace it until I discovered TESCO finest chocolate tea.
There are 40 tea bags inside and the cocoa taste is lovely and strong.
This is definitely my favourite tea as well as Earl Grey and Breakfast tea.
