Flora panel - Baking activity feedback NOW CLOSED

[AngelieMumsnet]

This thread is for the Flora panel members participating in the Flora Buttery baking task.

Here's what Flora have to say, 'Flora Buttery is brilliant for baking the fluffiest of cakes, and it’s super easy to mix too, even straight from the fridge. We love to use it for icing, as well as in the cake mix (we have loads of great recipes on our website), and it’s a great all-rounder, perfect for everything from spreading on your sandwiches to melting on your spuds. We’d love you to make space for a tub in your fridge and see how versatile it is!"

Panel members were given a voucher to buy Flora Buttery.

Please answer the questions below and add any other comments you may also have. We'd love you to take a picture of your creation and post it on this thread. You could also enter a photo into the Flora cupcake corner Facebook competition for more chances to win! Please note any pictures and/or comments on this thread may be used by on Flora's pages on MN and possibly elsewhere so please only post if you're happy with this.

mine either

[MummyBtothree]

MNHQ...this is really silly now. Not wanting to knock a gift horse in the mouth but can you have a word with the guys at Flora for us????...I think they should consider being extra kind to the ones who haven't received our vouchers as we have been completely put off thee brand!!.

[SandWitch]

Hi MNHQ - I might need to withdraw myself from this now as my NY's resolution is to try and cut out as many processed foods as possible. So for the first time in years I am using actual butter!

Of course, by the time the vouchers arrive the resolution may well be out of the window

[AngelieMumsnet]

Hi everyone, both Flora and us at MNHQ are very sorry for the delay - the vouchers are being prepared (they needed to be reprinted) and will be sent out soon.

[MummyBtothree]

Anyone got theirs yet???? will believe it when I see it I think.

[Steffanoid]

nope not here yet

[skyeskyeskye]

still not had mine either. given up all hope now!

[aristocat]

Still no voucher here either!

[craftynclothy]

No voucher here either.

[MummyBtothree]

Everybody loves it when they get chosen for trials therefore this was a real let down. I still think the people that haven't (yet??) got their vouchers should get a little extra from Flora to make up for it.

[aristocat]

This product test will definitely be remembered ...... sadly for all the wrong reasons

[MummyBtothree]

Well I haven't received my voucher in order to trial Flora (I mean c'mon, how long does it take to print some vouchers and sent them out??!!)...therefore this is my feedback....

I haven't got a clue how it tastes or what its like to bake with but Flora sure do know how to put people off buying it!!!!!!! they are also clearly not bothered about customer service, as the ones who have been messed about would have surely been kept sweet.

[skyeskyeskye]

Can MN tell us if this is still going ahead?
It's three weeks since they stated they would be sent out soon...

[MummyBtothree]

I signed up to be on the Flora panel FOUR MONTHS AGO!!!!! and some of us still haven't got the vouchers. Even if they did run out and need to get more printed, this is still a crazy amount of time and quite frankly I think they are taking the mickey. Please MN can you tell us what's going on??? think we deserve a token gesture from Flora but that wont happen because they cant even get round to sending vouchers out. They sure know how NOT to promote their brand!!!. :(

[AngelieMumsnet]

Hi everyone, so sorry but we don't have any news about this at the moment - we've not forgotten about it though and we're trying to find out what the situation is. Apologies again for the huge delay, we'll be in touch again as soon as we have more information for you.

[aristocat]

Thanks AngelieMN for the update. Shame on Flora for being so inept!

[MummyBtothree]

Thank you Angelie, I know its not Mumsnet fault xx

[lilyloo]

Wondered if there was a 'vouchergate' thread, still waiting!!

[Steffanoid]

thanks Angelie, hope for an update soon

[ritagcabrita]

no voucher received so far!

[MummyBtothree]

Any news on the vouchers yet???? maybe its got to the point now where we should write this one off :( :(

[aristocat]

Have you seen there is another Flora product test on MN who also had a problem with vouchers

Flora know how to create negative publicity!

[DebbieWobbs]

Still not received my flora vouchers

[MummyBtothree]

[Nouseforausername]
