Mr Kipling Mini Battenbergs Reviews

Battenberg cakes have been around for a while and when they get made by yet another company you wonder if they will be as nice, but when its Mr Kipling you know its going to be a quality cake! Battenberg's are moist sponge cakes with a chequered pattern of pink and yellow colour cake divided by lovely rich apricot jam and surrounded with a ...  Read the complete review

I used to love battenberg cake when I was little - my grandma used to make it, and we'd have huge slabs of it with our tea after sunday lunch. Hers was dense madeira sponge, luscious apricot conserve and home-made marzipan - an acquired taste for a little girl, but one I picked up admirably! I hadn't eaten it ever since then - though ...  Read the complete review

Mr Kipling Mini Battenbergs Description: Cakes / Moist sponge cake filled with rich apricot jam, all wrapped up in a soft almond flavour paste. I bought a pack of 5 of these mini batenburg cakes for just £1 on offer at my local supermarket. Expect to pay around £1.30 normally though. You are bound to have seen ...  Read the complete review

I used to hate Battenburg cake, I don't know why but I always went for Angel Cake. I really don't know what the difference was but after tasting Battenburg, I was put off it for a long time ago. Until recently there was an offer on, so I decided to give it another chance. Firstly, I bought a big Battenburg cake, my boyfriend doesn't ...  Read the complete review

I dropped into my mothers at the weekend and purposely stated I wasn't really hungry to avoid her shoving a huge piece of cake under my nose (saying no to her just doesn't work these days). She emerged from the kitchen with a packet of Mr Kipling Mini Battenbergs to accompany my cup of tea. I have had Battenberg cake on many occasions and ...  Read the complete review

I remember as a child I used to hate Battenberg cake. I loved Angel Cake, but for some reason I just didn't have the same fondness for it's checked counterpart. However, at a party a while ago I decided to give it another go and found myself loving the stuff! The only problem was, I'd never want a whole cake at once and the long cakes you find in ...  Read the complete review

Battenbergs are a great cake, so when the UK's top cake maker, Mr Kipling rolls them out, they must be good. This is true to a certain extent, as they are fresh, have a great taste and look really nice, but they are quite expensive compared to other alternative brands, contains lots of calories and fat and also aren't as nice as the original ...  Read the complete review

I was delighted to see these on sale. To me seeing a small battenbery, there was only one thing to do- take an individual battenberg cake, and a sharp knife and cut it into small slices as you would with a full size battenberg and then take each slice in turn and break it into four squares and eat the yellow ones first to leave two pink squares ...  Read the complete review

At the moment these are on special offer at Tesco,its a bit of a mistake to buy them as they call from the cupboard to be eaten. I love marzipan, these have a nice gooey soft almond flavoured coating, the cake isn't out of the ordinary, but teamed with the marzipan its delicious.The fact these cakes are small means you don't feel very guilty ...  Read the complete review

If anyone has read my previous reviews, they will know that I am a particular fan of the battenburg. Pink and yellow sponge cake, apricot jam, and above all the sweet, almondy tang of marzipan combine to make one of the best cakes the world will ever know. And so, on to mini battenburgs. At first, you wonder why they are really necessary - ...  Read the complete review

I have loved 'normal' sized Battenberg for many years now. The soft, sweet sponge surrounded by slightly tart, sugary, almondy marzipan creates a wonderful cake that goes fantastically well with a cup of tea and leaves me satisfied and happy. When I saw a packet of 5 'Mini Battenbergs' by Mr Kipling in the supermarket, I thought I would ...  Read the complete review

These Mr Kipling cakes are miniature versions of the original larger Battenberg cakes. Most people can remember the usual large Battenberg cake that needed to be sliced to be shared. I can remember having it as a treat on occasions. These mini cakes are much more user friendly and are all ready made into individual portions. They are ...  Read the complete review

I can't say I'm a big fan of sponge or jam so I'm probably not the best person to review these but I'll give it a go. My mother really likes these so I thought I'd buy some and see if she was right. They are nice, they're just not really the type of snack food or treat I'd usually go for. Since 1967, Mr Kipling have been making ...  Read the complete review

At the weekend whilst shopping in the co-op I came across an offer on Mr Kiplings cakes, 3 for £2, so I chose 3 different boxes, one of which was the Mini Battenburgs. I don't usually eat much in the way of cake but admit I have had one of these. The box is mostly pink and red with a picture of the mini battenburgs, exactly as the ...  Read the complete review
