Mr Kipling almond fingers are sold in every major supermarkets and many smaller independent stores too. As with all cakes from this line you will notice they are one of the more expensive cakes to buy. But are they worth it? As with all Mr Kipling cakes you will have a brilliant box display. Going for the hard sell !!. These almond cakes come in a red box, with Almond written across the front in huge letters. Besides this is a lush image of one of the cakes. Obviously made to look a little better than the actual content. I mean have you ever seen that much jam in one?? Hmmm NO. To the left hand corner of the box is the GDA table, very helpful, ...  Read the complete review

As with all mr kipling cakes you find them sitting inside the box in individually wrapped trays. In each tray you get two cake slices. The idea of them being wrapped like this means they stay fresh and moist. So if your in no hurry to munch through them then this is a superb idea. One issue is that it is very hard to just eat one slice when you open the tray. The cakes themselves are very very moist and are quite firm to the touch. They have almonds spread over the top. Well when I say almonds I mean the odd couple here and there. Then there is the layer of jam thrown in too. Which is very tasty although they could do with more in there. If your ...  Read the complete review

Doing the shopping without a shopping list ends up always with loads of treats. Yesterday for example we bought Mr. Kipling's Almond slices (and 3 other treats I will review later). They were on offer in Tesco for only 1 pound so we gave it a go. The almond slices come in a cardboard box which has a huge logo on it and you can see the picture of the cake. Inside the cardboard bow there are 3 plastic trays. All of them are wrapped individually so you can open only one of them at a time. In one tray there are two almond slices. It is good that they are wrapped individually because the rest remain fresh but I think it is a waist of packaging. We ate all the six ...  Read the complete review

I brought a box of these for my dad because he said he'd been craving something sweet AND nutty, these are both mega sweet and contain almonds so I knew he'd love them. Of course I couldn't stop myself eating a couple before he got home from work and they are delish, I've not had an Almond Slice for years but really enjoyed the 2 I ate this evening. I had 2 because even though there are 6 cakes in the box they are wrapped in packages of 2, it would have been silly to leave one of them! lol Honestly though the slices are quite thin and by packing them in 2's Mr Kipling are more or less forcing you to eat both because I don't think one cake is quite big ...  Read the complete review

Mr Kipling Almond Slices are on offer in Tesco at the moment for only 67p for a packet of six! That's a pretty good price for a brand name pack of cakes. Full price they're around £1.30 which isn't quite such a good deal but still isn't unreasonable. Inside the outer box you'll find three twin packs of sealed cake slices. I think this is a great idea for people who aren't going to eat them too quickly. It keeps them nice and fresh for longer. The down side is that the slices are quite thin, and it's hard to resist eating two slices at a time once you've opened up the little packet. The cakes are tasty enough. They're quite firm sponge ...  Read the complete review
