I do enjoy baking cakes and cupcakes and in particular I enjoy making 'character' cupcakes which are always a hit with my young nephew and niece. I have a whole host of baking trays and assorted gadgets and equipment at home to help assist in my hobby. It was whilst I was shopping online at www.amazon.co.uk a while ago that I was using a gift voucher to purchase some much-needed baking trays and new cake tins as my other ones were looking rather worse for wear. I had a couple of pounds left on the voucher and decided to pop the "Cake Tester" gadget into my virtual shopping basket to use up the rest of the voucher. When the Cake Tester ...  Read the complete review

I'm always baking cakes, cupcakes and cookies. 5 days out of 7 I would say that there's always a delicious smell of baking wafting from my kitchen. I get my love of baking from my mum, who was always baking us a delicious cake or buns when we were little. My mum always used/uses a 'cake tester' to test whether her cakes and buns were/are cooked. My mum's cakes tester is probably 40 years old or more and is still going strong, it's actually just some sort of a plastic coated skewer type stick, but it's obviously made from some kind of heat resistant plastic. The purpose of a cake tester is to check whether your cake or cupcakes are cooked. You insert the cake ...  Read the complete review

With an obsession of the Great British Bake off TV program and having recently been on a Cup Cake decorating course my love of baking has suddenly been reignited again. I always thought that I would have a career that involved food, I even took exams in it but then nothing ever goes to plan!

With the cooking are a number of different gadgets, for my cupcake decorating alone is 3 tins full of stuff but an ever present in most parts of my baking is a Kitchen craft cake tester. There is nothing that special with this item, in fact I consider it a part of essential ...  Read the complete review

==Cake Tester== I am well known for really enjoying baking and I do make a lot of different cakes and desserts both on my own and with little Jack. My favourite cake to make in Nigella's courgette cake which is totally delicious and I would well advise any cake lover to track it down and make it themselves (it sounds strange but it so yummy). Because everyone at work knows how much I like baking for my secret Santa present a few years back I got a ton of baking related items and this cake tester was among those items. ==Price and Availability== I hadn't seen this product anywhere else before I received it as a gift but there again I ...  Read the complete review

I must admit I am a terrible cook in most areas, aside for the one exception of baking. I absolutely love to bake, it is one of my favourite hobbies and I have amassed quite a collection of baking equipment and handy little gadgets. One of my latest purchases was this Cake Tester, which I bought from Amazon for the lowly price of just £1.45 after seeing a positive review from another dooyoo member (thanks MEL0611!). Product description: "Reusable metal cake tester. Helps you achieve perfect results - keeps the guesswork out of cake making!" The Cake Tester is not the prettiest of pieces to look at; it is made of a small, thin metal rod ...  Read the complete review
