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!

I have always wanted to make a rainbow cake and so this week I bought more tins and rainbow dyes. I made the sponges with my eldest son and then made the icing and put it together with my daughter. Very impressed with the results!! (Although I will need to practise the icing!)

Been doing lots of baking during lockdown but don't have many photos unfortunately. These three are Lemon Drizzle, Peach Melba Squares and Levain Bakery copycat giant cookies which are hands down the best cookie I've ever had!

My daughter (11yrs) made this using a Betty Crocker mix for a wee boy who attends my home for childminding. He was upset about not having a party due to lockdown and this cheered him up no end Smile.

Made a chocolate and vanilla checkerboard cake for DD's 10th birthday during lockdown last month with Betty Crocker cake mix and icing. We used all the chocolate we could find to decorate it 😊.

We made vegan hot cross buns for Easter. It was the first time I've made bread by hand rather than in the breadmaker and I love it. The time it takes, the different stages, it kind of creates a feeling of slowing down, waiting and noticing what you are doing, and appreciating the end result Smile.

Victoria sponge for VE Day. My 7yo ds helped with the red, white and blue icing and strawberry jam inside. My 10yo ds cut out the doily and sieved icing sugar over it to create the design on top. It was delicious!

Coffee and Walnut is the only cake that gets eaten in our house.
Betty Crocker Chocolate Frosting (with a few modifications to become mocha), saved the day - there was no icing sugar in any shops locally!
