Are you having a good summer so far? The weather has been a little underwhelming but it hasn’t stopped us from having some great family adventures. We’ve enjoyed loads of days out and had lots of picnics – sometimes sheltering from the rain in the car!
Last week we were trying out Mr Kipling’s new limited edition summer range. We are huge fans of Mr Kipling’s so we love the fact all our favourites are there, especially the Mini Battenberg, and the packaging has a lovely summery make over.
There are also four new limited edition flavours, such as Strawberry Cheesecake Whirls, Trifle Slices and the return of the much loved Strawberries & Cream Fancies. The weather may not be perfect but these make great treats for afternoon tea or a picnic. Some of them are individually wrapped which mean my children have been taking them in their packed lunches to Holiday Club!
The limited edition summer range is not all that’s new from Mr Kipling though. They are helping those with a sweet tooth relax by the pool with a new 4ft Cherry Bakewell inflatable! Forget swans, flamingos and unicorns – the must-have shape is a cheeky Cherry Bakewell, which even comes with an integrated holder to keep treats dry while you float on the water. Read on for your chance to win one and an awesome bundle of Mr Kipling treats.
Win an Exceedingly Good Summer with Mr Kipling
It’s Afternoon Tea Week so I’ve teamed up with Mr Kipling and have an exceedingly good summer bundle to giveaway comprising of a Mr Kipling Cherry Bakewell inflatable (worth £200), a pump and a Mr Kipling cake selection. Please note this giveaway is open to UK residents only.
