Tunnock’s Biscuit’s Review:

Hello everyone,

Today i am going to be reviewing some gorgeous biscuit’s i very kindly had sent to try and review on my blog, I have been a big fan of milk chocolate caramel wafer’s for many year’s now so i very kindly emailed Tunnock’s in the kindest possible way and asked if it would be possible for a sample to review on my blog.

I was very kindly sent a box of goodie’s a few month’s back now but i have been really ill hence why i have not been posting on my blog much, but i am fully better now so hopefully i can continue my blogging obsession. Tunnock’s is one of my favorite biscuit companies so as soon as i received my parcel my face lit up i was sent out 2 more packet’s of biscuit’s to review on my blog which are a 8 pack of caramel log biscuit’s and a 8 pack of dark chocolate wafer biscuit’s.

Firstly i am going to be reviewing the dark chocolate caramel wafer biscuit’s, the milk chocolate wafer’s are my favorite so i was diving straight into the pack of dark chocolate as this was something new for me to try. I am always honest in my review’s and i absolutely HATE dark chocolate! but these biscuit’s where yummy, i always love the 5 layer’s of wafer biscuit’s they are a lovely crunchy texture and the dark chocolate is not over powering. The blend of chocolate, caramel and wafer go really well together and this is a biscuit i could enjoy every day each biscuit has 5 layer’s of wafer, 4 layer’s of caramel and if fully coated in real dark chocolate.

This was the first time i have tried the dark chocolate wafer’s and i have to say i really enjoyed them i would certainly buy them if i come across them in the supermarket, I also like the packaging i always think you can tell a lot about a company just by packaging if they are willing to put time and effort into making a product not only taste delicious but also look eye catching and really stand’s out.

Each biscuit is individually wrapped in a lovely shiny metallic blue and gold paper so this keep’s the biscuit nice and fresh as you can see on the picture the biscuit has a very generous amount of chocolate coating and anybody who love’s chocolate / dark chocolate i would urge you to try if you haven’t in the past.

Overall i was really happy with this biscuit Tunnock’s did not fail to disappoint and this must be the only dark chocolate product that i like and would purchase again after trying.


Last off all i will be reviewing the second product i was very kindly sent to try and review this again was the first time i have tried the caramel log biscuit’s i am not a big fan of coconut either but after sharing with my family they was gone in a matter of hour’s! my dad is a big fan of coconut chocolate and biscuit’s so he was really pleased with the way Tunnock’s presented all of his favorite ingredient’s into one tasty bar.

The caramel log biscuit’s are a wafer and caramel biscuit fully covered in chocolate and sprinkled with roasted coconut again these are a tasty biscuit with lot’s of layer’s of wafer and caramel. If you are a fan of coconut’s i would highly recommend for you to try these biscuit’s.

Unfortunately these biscuit’s got eaten so fast i could not take a picture of the actual biscuit so i have had to copy one from google ( i do apologise ) but when i buy more in the future i will take picture’s and edit my review. As you can see from the picture there is a generous amount of roasted coconut covering the biscuit some of you may think it would just taste like a coconut wafer but i could taste all ingredient’s (the caramel, chocolate and coconut)

Overall i have really enjoyed working with Tunnock’s trying and reviewing product’s i have not yet tried before but i will now be buying in the future my favorite out of them both would have to be the dark chocolate caramel wafer biscuit’s but my dad is a big fan now of the caramel log biscuit’s.

A little information from Tunnock’s website:

How do you create ever-popular biscuit products? Well, start with excellent ingredients. Add layers of ownership by the same, caring family. Then cover with a generous sprinkling of attention to detail and personal service.

This winning formula was initiated by Thomas Tunnock in 1890, after he paid £80 for a shop in Uddingston. Under the guidance of Thomas (and later his son, Archie), Tunnock’s operated only as bakers and purveyors of quality flour confectionery until the 1950s. This decade saw the emergence of four original speciality items: Caramel Wafers, Snowballs, Caramel Logs and Teacakes. Consequently, business boomed and factory extensions followed, the latest as recent as 2002.

The innovative management has always remained true to the original principles and is close to the local community. Indeed, it is funny how the more things change at Tunnock’s, the more they stay the same.

I will be buying more Tunnock’s product’s and will be reviewing them on my blog soon, i also have some other new and exciting product’s i will be reviewing in the upcoming week’s and really hope you all enjoy reading my review’s.

I will as always link website and link’s below i would as always advise for you to follow social media page’s to stay up to date with latest competition’s, new’s, new product’s and information etc.

Sponge Cake’s Review

Hi everyone,

Before i start i would just like to apologise as i haven’t made a blog post for a few month’s due to being ill but now that i am better i will be reviewing more product’s again.

Today i am going to review ‘Sponge’ cake i recently received an Easter sponge that i very luckily won in a competition i was over the moon when i received the email to say ‘Congratulations’ i had to re-read the email at least 10 time’s before the news finally sunk in.

I was so excited to receive my Easter sponge cake as i have always wanted to try this companies cakes i was thinking it was impossible to post a cake out for it to arrive in one piece but when i finally received my sponge i was shocked it was perfect and so big! i could not wait to cut this and share with my family even though it was too nice to cut.

11121771_1433772070266379_1129859270152986653_o

I received a 10” sponge which was a chocolate sponge with white chocolate buttercream topped with flakes of chocolate and mini eggs there was a very generous amount of toppings and the sponge was huge! i was expecting the sponge to be very dry but the cake was absolutely delicious as the chocolate buttercream in the center of the cake was a generous amount it kept the sponge moist and for anyone who likes chocolate as much as me this was heaven!

11148615_1433772040266382_7031073992238030435_n

I finally cut my gorgeous cake into pieces on Easter day as this was an Easter sponge it was perfect as we had family round and i could show off my cake. The whole 10” cake is supposed to serve 8 people but i think it could serve easily 10+ i only cut small piece’s but this was just enough after sharing my sponge with myself and 3 other family members i still had nearly 3/4 left i was shocked! This cake was the nicest i have ever tasted and i was so lucky to win.

Sponge cake company first established in 2000 in a cafe and then in 2009 they took Sponge out of the comfort of their Byfords home & created a new look under the company named SPONGE. All cakes are made from scratch (when i say scratch i mean no packet sponge mixes all proper ingredient’s) and their sponge is lovely i would highly recommend. Also the thing i love about this company is their website is packed full of yummy treats not only can you order a sponge you can also add extras like a card, alcohol, candles, cake toppers and more yummy treats this is great for friends and family who do not live near or if somebody is on the other side of the world for a special occasion you can simply order a sponge and put a smile on someone’s face.

Sponge have a wide range of cakes available including their new Angel Cake (which i will be trying) Apple Crumble, Bakewell, Chocolate & Orange, Coffee, Rocky Road, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Caramel & Peanut or they also have a normal Victoria sponge available which i have heard is absolutely yummy! If that is not enough you can also create your own sharing sponge!!! Wow :) if you have a fussy family and would like 1 cake but different slices and different flavors then this company is where you should be heading you can choose a cake you like and decorate it however you like and i have great faith in saying you would not be disappointed.

Overall, i am really happy with my competition win and is defiantly my favorite prize this year, i am so glad i won as this has now convinced me to start buying more i am currently counting down my next special occasion or upcoming event just to order or i could be a little greedy and order for myself ;) after all my birthday is June. Sponge’s cakes are available in a 7” sponge or a 10” sponge or you can also order miniature sponges which are ideal for weddings, baby showers and birthday parties.

7” sponge cakes start from £12.50 or 10” sponge cakes start from £19.99 which to me is extremely reasonable as not only are you getting a delicious cake you can choose exactly how you want it to look and add that extra special touch. Gluten free cakes are also available on their website and they have a range to choose from for no extra cost! i love how creative this company is and how well they have created their website it has every little last detail and bit of information you need and if that is not enough and you do have any problems it is so easy to contact them and you will receive a fast response via email like myself i spoke to a lovely lady and she was very helpful.

I could not recommend this company enough this has by far been my best product to review this year i could continue to write all day, i will without a doubt be ordering soon and can’t wait to try the new angel sponge what has recently been voted favorite sponge to bring back! :)

Thank you so much for reading everyone if anybody has any question’s please feel free to ask i will try to answer them the best i can, i would also highly recommend to follow each of the website’s above for latest new’s and competition’s etc.

Beanie’s Chocolate Orange Coffee Review.

Hi Everyone,

I recently emailed Beanie’s coffee as I was recommended by a friend to try, they have a delicious range and I was spoilt for choice on which to buy first so I kindly asked if they had any sample’s available.

I had a fast response within a hour from a kind representative who said he would send me some sample’s and a jar of the chocolate orange coffee I was surprised at how much was sent and my and my family are enjoying some delicious coffee!

I was sent

– 1 Full Size Chocolate Orange Jar Of Coffee

– 8 sample sachet’s of hazelnut instant coffee

– 8 sample sachet’s of Irish cream instant coffee

10906322_1391398951162869_8116639109167865758_n

I have been trying and enjoying the chocolate orange as this was the 1 that stood out to me on there website, this coffee is very easy to make and is made like normal coffee, I just added a teaspoon of the coffee, hot water & milk it is advised that there is no sugar needed as this is sweet enough.

10818268_1391398994496198_5833181915123522196_o

The delicious smell filled around the room as I was making this my mouth was watering! my whole family passed comment on how lush it smelt, The taste also beat the smell as was divine! who couldn’t like chocolate orange & coffee this is a great combination! It was so quick to make and I have been enjoying this for the last 2 day’s I thought this was going to be sickly with it being chocolate orange and coffee but the combined flavour’s went together really well.

Other instant coffee flavour’s available are:

– Amaretto Almond

– Chocolate Orange

– Christmas Pudding

– Cinder Toffee

– Cinnamon & Hazelnut

– Double Chocolate

– Gingerbread

– Irish Cream

– Mulled Spice

– Nutty Hazelnut

– Very Vanilla

– Winter Warmer

And they also have a decaf range:

– Decaf Amaretto Almond

– Decaf Chocolate Orange

– Decaf Irish Cream

All these flavour’s sound delicious and they are available in Tesco store’s, each jar of instant coffee ranges from £2.50 – £2.75 which I think is very reasonable for such a delicious product! I would highly recommend to anyone and will defiantly be buying more in the future.

I am going to try the Irish cream coffee as this one too seem’s to look delicious! unfortunately I don’t like hazelnut so I wont be trying that one but my family will enjoy it so I will be reviewing the other 2 flavour’s when we next want a tasty brew! 😉
