bizzylizzy Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi, Has anyone used or brought one of the cupcake makers? I popped into Aldi earlier and they had one in there. I ummed and aahed about buying one and thought I would ask here before i brought one. Thanks in advance. bizzylizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Seen some in Lakeland & if the cakes next to them were anything to go by - then don't buy one! But theirs were very expensive. I suppose they are quite novel for a young person to make little cakes. But I'd prefer to use my oven & do a big baking session whilst the oven is on. Cupcakes only take about 12 minutes to cook.

The Dogmother Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 How does it differ from a decent food mixer and an oven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 It's just like a deep hole toastie maker by the looks of it. Emma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 So just another gadget to clean and find storage for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Looks like it! Give my a good old fork & my oven any day. The kenwood for really special mixes. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
