Caramelised Biscuit Cupcake Baking Kit (Aldi) By @Cinabar

I do love the trend for caramelised biscuits, so when I spotted this box of a Caramelised Biscuit Cupcake Baking Kit in Aldi, I knew I had to give it a go. This is a quick bake for me, which is quite helpful as things have been super busy. My day job is taking up a lot of my time, and Spectre also has new ventures that he has been needing a hand with. So I bought a quick-bake kit to give us a treat.

 

Inside the box, we have a cake mix, an icing mix, some cup cake cases, and a biscuit crumb.

To start off, we mix the cake mix with an egg and some water, I gave it a good whisk, and then dollop the mix into the cupcake cases, it makes six. These looked good after they were baked.

Once it cooled, I made the icing. This was just a case of mixing the icing mix with the butter, this took a bit of work with a wooden spoon, but soon changed colour and turned into a caramel-coloured icing.

I piped the icing on top. I bake a lot, but I am surprisingly bad at anything artistic, that’s not my thing. I find it easier to make a perfect Italian focaccia bread than to decorate a cake, so these were not as pretty as the picture.

Having said that the last stage covered this a little, I sprinkled the biscuit crumb on top. They did look quite nice with that on top.

Taste wise these were gorgeous. The quick bake resulted in a tasty, moist sponge and the most gorgeous spiced biscuit flavour icing. They had a good caramel flavour and left us wanting to eat a second one. A lovely kit that was quick to bake and still looked fancy and tasted good.
