did you manage to find any of th...Hi (again) Mandy,<br />did you manage to find any of the Jane Asher stuff? I went into the Doncaster store last week and they did have some of the range but nowhere near as much as the Scarborough store did unfortunately. It must vary according to the size of the store. As Andie said, Poundland already do a huge range of basic baking equipment, including the cake storers etc all very good quality so I would have a look in there in future, I've also found there is quite a good selection of baking/cooking ingredients to be found in there usually a lot cheaper than the supermarket.<br />The J.A storage tubs are doing the job well of storing my ground coffees so they must be air tight and like I mentioned the range has pretty pastel colours so will coordinate with most kitchens if you are wanting them to leave on display. <br />Nothing much planned again for this weekend, maybe too warm to have the ovens on to do much baking though. I may make trifle to use up some of the jelly crystals and custard mix I have (all bought in massive bags from Approved foods). My stocks never seem to go down, I may also make a cheesecake as I also bought both cheesecake base and topping mix from AF. These were very cheap (about £1.49 a biggish bag) and even though both are packet mixes so not as good as making from scratch they are quite acceptable as a dessert when a bit of food colouring and also a bit of flavouring is added to the topping mix otherwise it is a bit bland, this Sundays pudding may be coffee cheesecake or the alternative of mixed fruit cocktail (tinned) trifle.<br />Hope you have a good weekend, take care, jane xjanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-79401022581593777942014-05-11T14:53:18.176+01:002014-05-11T14:53:18.176+01:00Hi andie and welcome to my blog!

They are too big for the small amount of baking I do now xx<br />Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121009474832459371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-15462821462123181562014-05-11T14:47:34.224+01:002014-05-11T14:47:34.224+01:00Hi Jane

My son's girlfriend works in Banbury so she could have a look for me. <br /><br />I've got five Emma bridge water tins but I wanted a plastic storer to keep on the worktop for a large cake.<br /><br />We've done our fortnightly food shop at asda this morning...spent too much as usual!<br /><br />Hopefully back to baking this week...I've planned to do gingerbread men with Daisy xx<br />Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121009474832459371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-45003994989817156002014-05-11T13:31:13.346+01:002014-05-11T13:31:13.346+01:00Hi there, I buy all my cake keepers at Poundland -...Hi there, I buy all my cake keepers at Poundland - Just a £1 and good quality. I have not seen the Jane Asher one's mentioned above but I will certainly have a look myself. The first time I saw the cake keepers I thought there must be a mistake with the price!! I can just about afford to give a cake in them and take the loss if they do not come back.

If I had known about you wanting a cake ... Hi Mandy,<br />If I had known about you wanting a cake storer I would have mentioned in my last post the new range of fantastic baking stuff I've just discovered in "Poundland", do you have one of these near to you??<br />If so they have started selling a range of baking equipment by Jane Asher and it is great value for the money, it is good quality and there are quite a number of items in the range. It is all in pretty pastel colours as well so would go with most kitchens. I needed some decent storage tubs for the large amount of bags of flavoured coffees I cant resist buying from TK Maxx and they do a set of 2 canisters with different coloured pastel lids and inside are 2 colour coordinated measuring scoops, also cake storer, spatulas, all sorts of stuff, and all of course for £1. <br />glad you're enjoying the baking im hoping to get some done this weekend as its forcast bad weather so may be a stay at home weekend for me.<br />take care, janejanenoreply@blogger.com
