How to make a crappy packet mix cake & What is this blog meant to be about?

I started my own little bloggy because a rather impressive blog filled me with awe, as a good blog often does, but this time it was made by a real person (read "real person" as 'someone I know'). This made me think that perhaps average people can create interesting blogs about things they are interested in, which for me includes pretending to be rather epic at baking.

If I ever master this thing called Blogging I'll let you know.

Onwards to the packet mix cakes and the how to;

Step 1: Buy said packet mix cake, for this adventure I chose 2 different mixes Greens Sweet Banana Honey Muffins and White Wings Moist Chocolate Cake.
(White Wings Moist Chocolate Cake was actually pretty good and didn't last very long out of the oven so there's no proof the cake I made ever existed.)
Step 2: Set up all required utensils and ingrediants.

Not everything's there but you get the idea.
Step 3: Following instructions on the packet. Well they're there for a reason.

You may notice that isn't a wooden spoon or fancy electric mixer but I was visiting my mums house and I'm pretty sure I had killed her electric mixer last time I was there. ANYWAY....

Step 4: I'm pretty sure it said this on the box but you actually have to spoon the mixture into a tray before placing it in the oven.

And as you can see I was experiencing difficulty doing it neatly.

I blame the young people who were 'helping' they mostly just mixed it for me using a silicon spatula and licked the bowl clean.

Unfortunately this was another case of baked good not lasting long enough to be photographed so here's a picture of a cat.

His name is Boots

He gets hay-fever but isn't he funny looking haha...
