Who doesn't like a little slice of cake with a cup of tea? Well based on this I brought myself a pack of Mr Kipling County Slices to try. As a big fan of Mr Kiplings Manor House Cake I thought that I could not go wrong with these, as they looked similar on the front of the box. Well I could not have been further off the mark.

You know what it's like - you go to the shop just for one or two items and end up coming out laden down with shopping. I have been guilty of this for far too long and am spending way too much money so when I popped into Iceland recently for some milk I did very well of only buying what I'd gone in for. Well almost. Nearly. As I stood at the till waiting to pay, my eyes wandered to the strategically placed items perched right next to me and spotted these Mr Kipling Country Slices.. Having been far too weak willed I succumbed and bought a pack after all they were only £1.. Damn you Mr Kipling! The Product~ I am not a huge lover ...  Read the complete review
