Greens Mini Daisy Cake Kit


If you read my National cupcake week post (if not you can do so 'here') you'd have read that we were sent 2 cupcake kits to make up to celebrate cupcake week but sadly we only managed to find the time to make the one.
This Sunday me and the girls finally made up the second kit being the Greens mini daisy cupcake kit, the girls had great fun making them and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy decorating them I'm not sure how cake makers do it full time tho! 

The kit allows you to make 24 mini cupcakes and comes with 
Daisy cutter
whit roll out icing
Yellow icing mix
Vanilla cake mix
Mini cake cases
 

To make your cakes all you need is 1 medium egg, cold water and icing sugar for dusting.
Prep time 1O minutes, Bake time 12 minutes.
 
 


I broke some of the daisy petals off so some cakes went without so I didn't include those in the photo, There was the extra that was needed to make the centre of the daisys as pictured on the box BUT the girls had already started bickering over who gets to have the icing bowl & spoon (what baking is complete without that argument?) so I used icing instead so they could get their mitts on the bowl before it turned violent!

National cupcake week with Greens







We were very kindly sent these cake mixes to celebrate national cupcake week (15th - 21st September) 
We were sent the new Mini daisy cake kit and to celebrate Hello kitty's 4Oth anniversary this year they also very kindly sent the hello kitty cute cupcake kit too both kits are by greens.
Today we finally had some free time to get round to making the hello kitty cupcake kit
which is 1OO% Natural colours and flavours!
The hello kitty cupcake kit makes 12 cakes, in the kit/box you get:
cake mix vanilla,topping mix strawberry, waferette decorations and cake cases

To make your cakes you will need:
1 medium sized egg, water and 5Og butter  
The box has full details on the back on how to make,bake and decorate your cakes.

Your cakes should take roughly 1O minutes to make and 12 minutes to bake, of course it may take you a little longer to make if your making them with little ones.
These mixes are great fun, easy to make and a great way to pass some time through the day.
The girls love baking and I love munching on their bakes once they are done, It goes without saying our cakes will never end up like the perfect ones pictured on the box if you've been able to get yours some what similar please tell me how!!!
No baking is complete without the arguments on who gets to lick the spoon and who gets the bowl of left over cake mix.
(I'm hoping we get some time to make the Mini Daisy cupcake kit tomorrow, before national cupcake week comes to a total end)
