“I just had to write and say your Madeira cake mix is FANTASTIC!!! I have just made my son a 3 tier wedding cake. I would have been lost without this mix. I really can't praise your cake mix enough. 1 happy mum. :-) ”

Cuptails are cupcakes containing alcohol - why not add your favourite tipple to any of our cake mixes based on the recipe above? Our member Sue, suggested using Malibu instead of water in any icing put on these cakes - wonderful idea!
