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!

Vanilla but embezzled into lemon drizzle as that's what the boys wanted to make. It's all about adapting at the mo. Verdict: "it's actually quite nice." That's tantamount to a Michalin star from the 10 yr old...

We often bake with Betty Crocker frostings as they are dairy free for one of our children who has an allergy and are much tastier than margarine butter icing! This is vanilla buttercream style icing dyed to suit our corona lockdown themed cake!

Toy story cupcake box mix. Sprinkles and icing everywhere, but great fun.

Sonic the hedgehog for DS's birthday.

This is the best cake I've ever made and had. Sponge is so light and airy.

Far too many cakes in lockdown - but I am enjoying DD getting involved in the baking rather than just the eating! Burger Birthday Cake, Giant Jaffa Cake with an orange jelly slice and individual Victoria Sponges for VE Day.

The most divine treacle cupcakes I've ever made. As a terrible baker I have been motivated to bake more.

Here’s one we did....once I’d managed to keep the teenager’s hands off the sweets.

It was made for his 17th birthday but he helped to decorate it. My son is autistic so we are working on kitchen skills....one being that you don’t eat the ingredients or decorations haha,

It was a recipe I’ve had for years so it’s pretty second nature.

That said, DS loves a cake mix and is first into the kitchen if we have one. Usually cup cakes where he enjoys making and decorating them.

Apricot and blueberry cake - it was blooming lovely, if I may say so myself. Have made other lockdown cakes, but this one has been the nicest so far.
