Hassle Free Baking
With everyone’s favourite baking programme returning to our screens later this month, we thought we would test out an alternative for those amongst us who are perhaps a little less talented than the bakers who will be gracing the famous tent.
If like me, you love home made cakes and the smell of freshly baked bread, then you will be happy to hear help is on hand. We sampled some of the baking mixes and fruit fillings from Ta-Da! and the results were great!
The mixes are easy to use and the instructions couldn’t be more simple and best of all they taste incredible, it is fool-proof.
The favourite with us was the Ta-Da! Chocolate Cake Mix, just add water and vegetable oil and you are away. We opted to make one large cake but the mix can easily be split to make individual cupcakes or muffins. You can follow the recipe below or play around and come up with your own creation. This is a great way to get your children involved in the fun of baking…….even if you are no expert yourself!
