Whipple - Cupcakes product reviews

Well this is something that has proven to be exceedingly popular with the craft mad females in our family.

First up unpacking the Whipple set, I was impressed by the range of materials and decorations provided. I was doing this with Miss NZGG and a friend and we were a little dubious at the amount of Whipple creme provided, this worry was very quickly proven to be unfounded though! Pleasantly, a little of this goes a long way so you have no worries about using the lesson/practise sheet, you're not going to be leaving yourself short and it's worth practising the patterns.

Having had a recent horrible experience icing Miss NZGG's birthday cake, I was a little wary of this to be honest. Really didn't need to be. It didn't take much practise before we all had the hang of things, Miss NZGG wanted a little help but I suspect that was more just her rather than an indication of skill level required. There were plenty of decorations provided and we actually found there were almost more than we needed as we had been using them cautiously, there are definitely enough provided that you can let your imagination run wild. We all had fun coming up with out different designs, the possibilities are endless. I think the only downside is that with 3 of us doing this, it was over far too quickly and we could have happily kept going longer. Perhaps we should think of getting a pack each next time?

Speaking of which, we may have to do just that, my mother-in-law spotted a keyring Whipple Cupcake dangling engagingly from Miss NZGG's bag and enquired hopefully should there be a spare one looking for a home. Given the other 2 key chain ones have pride of place decorating the knitting bags of my friend and I, the answer was not likely! Instead I'll be buying at least one other set, perhaps two though, so that Miss NZGG can make more as presents for this Christmas, I think they are going to be a complete hit!

So all in all, I couldn't rave about this enough. For once even stingy me has to give the value for money top marks considering I was expecting the price to be higher. I'm looking forward to "helping" Miss NZGG with her next lot!
