“I absolutely love wrights cake mixes they are so easy to make, I play around with them by adding other ingredients. I've made them in loaf tins, tray bakes, muffins, everybody who had tasted them loves them and can not believe they are made from a cake mix. Looking forward to trying the orange cake mix.”

When I asked the team for their thoughts on this, we all agreed it was awesomely autumnal, lovely to enjoy after a Sunday afternoon walk. I asked what they would serve it with; ice cream, cream or custard - "all three" they greedily said!
