Disappointed

Our lovely cake works out to be about $3.65. Cake mixes range from $0.89 through to $3.30. So it's *still* cheaper to buy the cake mixes.

$5 would have real chocolate in it!

And in theory the cake mix is the same size as a 340g white wings butter cake mix.

Ooooohhh and you've measured it and everything.

I'd still go ahead with it ;)

I was using the recipe at the back of the women's weekly cookbooks for kids birthday cakes. They actually tell you it's the same ... and one of the books has a very handy chart detailing how long each pan type and number of batter mixes in it take to cook.

Ha! Awesome! I lovelovelove that book. I need a copy of it for myself...

I have borrowed the original one from Mum and have three other women's weekly versions of the same book. They're all *slightly* different. But not all of them have that handy chart.

I went looking for my Mum's biscuit book before xmas, because I use it so much. They don't have it anymore. I was quite discouraged by the selection that I found at the newsagents now.
