Many people have turned to baking to keep busy and raise their spirits during the lockdown. It’s a fun way to keep the children entertained, even if they sneakily help themselves to the chocolate chips when you’re not looking, and is very rewarding when the whole family gets to dig-in to a tasty cake fresh out of the oven. With this in mind, Betty Crocker would love for you to share a picture of the cakes and bakes that you have made with your family.

Here’s what Betty Crocker has to say: “Betty Crocker is a cultural icon and is part of families’ traditions and get together. She has been a trusted source of flavoursome recipes and homebaking know-how for 100 years. With a delicious cake guaranteed every time, Betty enables families to focus on what really matters, spending quality time together baking or enjoying a sweet treat.”

Whether you prefer to keep it simple and use a Betty Crocker cake mix, follow an old family recipe passed down through the generations or make it up as you go along, take a picture of the cake or bake that you have made with your family and post it on this thread.

This competition is open to all Mumsnetters so get that apron on and your oven pre-heating. We’ll be randomly selecting one lucky MNer who posts a picture of their beautiful bake on this thread to win a £200 Amazon voucher - perfect for stocking up on all your baking essentials!

Thanks and good luck!

Whole cakes don’t get pictured in our house. Here is a classic Victoria sponge after a few slices have been enjoyed.

Betty's lemon cake made by my six year old with daddy for his birthday. It was lovely and I'll be restocking. I normally have devils food cake in the cupboard as everyone I've made it for loves it as it's so rich and stays moist for ages!

My 6 year old made this for her dads birthday.
She's a great wee baker and made this with a little supervision x

Sticky stem ginger cake with lemon drizzle. Doesn’t look much but it tasted amazing!

Banana bread swirled with chocolate spread made by all of us for the 2nd time this week as it's so nice (no chocolate chips available so choc spread is the next best thing!) And cherry scones made by DS. Lovely afternoon tea.

We had a bake off - cupcakes, crumble, brownies and a chocolate tart.

I knew I should not have looked on here at stupid o'clock. I am practically salivating! I have, however, been looking for any excuse to use a Betty Crocker coffee cake mix as that's my favourite - if I can get hold of one, like Arnie, I'll be back Wink

We used a Nigella recipe for delicious snow flecked chocolate brownies.

DS wanted a big chocolate cake with Smarties so we made this.

There were probably more Smarties than made it onto the cake Grin

This is our cherry cake made from our store-cupboard ingredients, and a jar of glace cherries, we had great fun mixing. Alas no more flour to be had anywhere.

This was our Betty crocker carrot cake (we've also done rainbow sponge and Victoria sponge, we are not bakers, but their kits are brilliant) which my teens decided was glorious!

It had to stay in the fridge because the buttercream was melting but it still tasted yum!

My 3 year old was in charge of egg cracking, bowl mixing and spoon licking!

Victoria sponge made for the VE Day picnic in the garden yesterday. Kids were a little heavy handed with the decorations...
