Tefal would love 25 Mumsnet users to test out their new Cake Factory Easy Cake Maker (RRP £169.99). The product comes with:

  • 1 Proflex silicone mould for 6 muffins
  • 1 Proflex silicone mould for 6 mini cakes
  • 1 non-stick baking tray
  • Cooling rack
  • Recipe booklet which includes 22 easy recipes, including vegan & gluten free options

Here’s what Tefal have to say about the product: “Fed up of sunken sponges and soggy bottoms? Or your temperamental oven burning bakes? Then you’ll love Tefal’s Cake Factory. With this precision cakemaker, you can enjoy consistent, mouth-watering results without the stress. From crispy meringues to hot sticky toffee pudding and perfectly oozing chocolate lava cakes, no bake is too tricky. Five automatic programmes intelligently set the correct temperature and time for a range of sweet delights, completely taking the guesswork out of baking. For when you become confident in your baking, there’s a manual mode that lets you take full control and create your own signature bakes. Download the free app for inspiration, featuring over 200 easy recipes – including vegan, gluten-free and low-sugar options. Little helpers can even get involved thanks to its simple controls and cool touch handles, whilst its compact size makes it convenient to use and easy to store.”

To find out more information on this product, please watch this video:

Selected testers will receive one Tefal Cake Factory to use as part of their normal cooking routine for two weeks and use some of the recipes included in the booklet or on the Tefal app. They will then be required to leave their feedback on a thread on Mumsnet and on the Tefal website. All testers who leave the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where 3 MNers will win a £100 voucher (each) of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

Ohhh I'm so jealous, mine isn't here yet!
@Notthebloodymustardcushion which courier did they use? We live rurally so our couriers all have very specific times they deliver. not that I'm planning to stand outside waiting or anything like that

Notthebloodymustardcushion · 02/03/2019 14:58

I’m not actually sure as it was my husband that saw it in! I would ask him, but there is zero chance he paid any attention... Grin

Fingers crossed yours turns up soon! SmileCake

Rockbird · 02/03/2019 15:20

You jammy beggar! Nothing here yet either. What I want to know, and isn't clear, is whether it will stop cooking at the end of the allotted time? So if, for example, the setting for cupcakes is 25 minutes, does it switch off after 25 minutes or does it just keep cooking till I remember go and turn it off?

AHobbyaweek · 03/03/2019 11:29

Hoping it appears today as I have all the ingredients ready to go! If not going to have to start baking normally as DD is too excited.

picklemepopcorn · 03/03/2019 13:54

Come on, where's mine?!

chilledteacher · 03/03/2019 21:03

Hoping it comes soon-full of ideas now. 😋

moomoo85 · 04/03/2019 09:28

Mine is here!!

Myusernameismud · 04/03/2019 09:59

@moomoo85 which courier did they use?! Trying to work out if it'll turn up before I leave for work!

Rockbird · 04/03/2019 10:07

Oh man, now I'm going to have to swing by the house just in case...

Myusernameismud · 04/03/2019 10:41

Ahhhh it's here! Arrived by DPD. He was very amused by how excited I was.

moomoo85 · 04/03/2019 10:49

Mine came with dpd

PurpleCrazyHorse · 04/03/2019 11:57

Eek, not with me yet but have to dash out for the nursery run in a bit. I have cakes to bake for a Women's Retreat on Friday and Saturday, so hoping to give a load of the recipes a whirl.

Rockbird · 04/03/2019 12:11

No sign on mine either. Sad

PurpleCrazyHorse · 04/03/2019 12:54

It's arrived

picklemepopcorn · 04/03/2019 14:08

Noooo! I was out.
Sigh. Tomorrow it is, then.

picklemepopcorn · 04/03/2019 14:09

What's the quickest thing you can make, can someone have a look? I'd like something to do with a children's club, but getting everything baked in the time slot can be tricky.

Rockbird · 04/03/2019 15:44

Hurrah! It's here. Two recipe books are confusing and there is some duplication of recipes. Trying to decide what to start with. My girls are squealing with excitement, you'd think they'd never seen cake before... Grin

jamoncrumpets · 04/03/2019 16:04

Mine is here and baking as I type!

jamoncrumpets · 04/03/2019 16:39

Seriously impressed! Was so ready to hate it too! Crumb structure is perfect!

Oh bizarre, I only got the one on the right and the instruction booklets

picklemepopcorn · 04/03/2019 17:59

How long does it take to bake?

jamoncrumpets · 04/03/2019 18:12

Depends on what you're baking @picklemepopcorn
