I was sent a Cake Pop Bakery Kit from Find-Me-A-Gift which I truly believe is perfect when you have children. You know the scenario, you make a stunning cake for birthdays or other occasions which looks delightful however almost half will be thrown away because children rarely eat more than one piece and most of the times don’t even finish it. It seems to happen to me when ever I make a cake unless there are a lot of people {Read More}
I received a Chocolate/praline making kit from Clas Ohlson. We love chocolate here but have never made our own. Inside the box is; A mixing bowl 3-pronged dipping fork dipping tool drying rack (23cm x 23cm) 60 x aluminium moulds. I was surprised at how small the box was when I received it, but I guess chocolates are quite small so it is plenty big enough for what you need. I have never made my own chocolates before so this {Read More}
I was sent a CeraKook Ceramic Utility knife which has a 5 inch white mirror blade. Because it is ceramic it is exceptionally sharp. The problem I have is that whenever I go near a sharp blade and know it is sharp no matter how careful I am I will end up cutting myself. So I was a little scared to use it after reading that the blade is razor sharp. I did use it though, although my husband uses {Read More}
I love marshmallows and had heard of Marshmallow Fluff just a few weeks ago, and with that I wanted to try it. I received a jar of Artificial Strawberry Flavour Marshmallow Fluff, it’s net weight was 213g. One the back of the jar is a recipe of making cheesecake although my kids started dipping their fingers into the jar as soon as they saw it and there wasn’t quite enough left to make it. I decided to make some rice {Read More}
I am not a lover of turkey for Christmas dinner so when I was offered to try out Packington Free Range Cockerel I jumped at the chance. I had never eaten cockerel before so this would be a new experience. The cockerel came by overnight courier and it was packed up really well, with ice bags to stay cold. All cooking instructions were on the side of the box and the cockerel we received was a whopping 13lb in weight {Read More}

When I received What’s For Dinner? Second Helpings recipe book by Romilla Arber I wasn’t expecting it to be as big as it was. It is very heavy, A4 size and had 767 pages. It is a hardback book. Every page has a recipe on it some with the photo of the finished dish. While looking through the book I noticed some lovely looking dishes that I would have otherwise not known about or probably ever cooked. The recipes are {Read More}
We received a Next Generation Crock-Pot to review for Mummy News. I had never used a slow cooker before but I have seen some wonderful dishes made with them. The Crock-Pot is very stylish in fact I would say it looks gorgeous. It is black and silver which matches my kitchen perfectly and is oval shaped. It is on the heavy side however it is a 5.7 litre capacity and is ideal for up to 6 people. I particularly like {Read More}
