Delicious, turns a mediocre meal into a gourmet treat
A mediocre meal is turned into a gourmet treat in a matter of minutes. My husband is very impressed with my new culinary skill. Shhhhh, don’t tell him my secret 🤫
Tastes so good, I eat them in two days! Alone, they're mine!
The aroma and delicate complex tastes are to heavenly. Quality ingredients, easy to make - these are the best 👌 💖
My husband loved it, & wants me to bake it again, & so did our second eldest son who we shared it with & he said it was not too sweet & he liked the yoghurt taste. That’s definitely a success in my book! 👍😊
Love love love these! Everything is there - even the dried fruit for decoration!
The cakes were moist and deicious with a hint of speciality water!
Thankyou so much - we all enjoyed them and will definitely order again!
My family and I absolutely love this delicious cake! I especially love the added chickpea flour which gives it a nutty flavour and it’s gluten free! The icing has just the right amount of rosewater and the rose petals and nuts give it the final touch!
We've had and loved the Persian cake mix so was excited to try the Trio of Signature Cake Mixes, and we were not disappointed. They are all tasty and yet different to one another. They come with everything you need including the information for things you need to add [like eggs, yoghury, sugar]. Easy peasy no fuss cake baking. Highly recommend them.
