Not for meby Sue

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

The cakes are dry with a poor texture and consistency. Thinking it may be me I asked my daughter to bake a couple of batches using a different mixer etc., unfortunately she had the same results. So its back to the oven for us.

Yet another Excellent Gadget from Lakeland!!by Victoria

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I was apprehensive but cupcake maker surpassed itself. I bought this Cupcake Maker on a whim thinking it would be useful when my niece comes to stay. It arrived this morning and I thought I would just try it out. I am already hooked and I have made 3 batches. And guess what they have all disappeared! Quickly warms up to temperature in approx. 5 mins and the cakes are ready in approx. 11 mins. Why use the oven when you have 6 cakes after approximately the same length of time it takes for the oven to warm up! If in doubt buy it – you won’t regret it!

Cupcakes in minutes!!by Victoria

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

Excellent little machine! Takes no longer than 10 mins to pop out lovely little cupcakes. Note that the recipe that comes in the pack is quite greasy and leaves little pools of oil in the bottom, so avoid that one if you can. Otherwise easy to clean and maintain, and great little kitchen gadget.

Excellent Buyby Kathryn

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I was a little bit sceptical about buying this after reading some of the reviews. I made my first batch of cakes and they were as good as oven baked ones. They took a little longer than 10 mins but after I iced them and decorated them they went down a treat at the school event I had made them for.

Brilliant Little Machineby Marion

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I have just received one of these as a gift and was a bit dubious about it as I am coeliac and have had little success with cakes. I followed the recipe for chocolate cakes using gluten free flour and baking powder and I am delighted and amazed with the results. A batch is so quick and easy to make and cleaning is a breeze if you use the silicone cases. I followed another user's tip and filled the cases before putting them into the machine. This is a great machine which gives fabulous results in 10 minutes! I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thanks Lakeland

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

Must be completely honest, I thought this item would be a bit of fun but in reality it was quite the opposite. I've followed the suggested recipes and times and they don't seem to bake properly; therefore it will never see daylight outside of the cupboard :o(

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I received this cupcake maker for a gift over 12 months ago. I have tried and tried since having this to make my cakes. I have followed the recipe exactly but to no avail. The insides are stodgy, and they taste awful. I have even updated my mixer and bought a Kenwood and have tried all sorts of tricks but nothing has worked. I am now going back to cooking in the oven, and am getting the cakes I enjoy. I don’t know how others are getting these fab cakes but it has not worked for me, the machine is going in the bin. Poor purchase for me.

Good productby Ellie

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

Was slightly worried about buying this as I had read some negative reviews. But have tried this twice and very pleased with the results. Professional standard cupcakes. Can only think that people that have had problems have a faulty machine as my machine has done exactly as promised.

Sadly disappointingby Mrs BISS

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I bought this for my daughter for xmas and she was so excited to try it we made a batch on boxing day! We had to cook them for 20/25 mins and they were still very pale and not cooked in the middle. Not sure if this is a faulty one, but having read some of the other reviews I'm wondering if this is just the way it is. I did expect more from a Lakeland product particularly as it is one of the most expensive of its kind on the market.

Perfect buns every time! by Fiona

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I was apprehensive after all the negative reviews but this machine is wonderful. I use silicon cases and then transfer the buns to paper cases once cooled. I bake each batch for between 10 and 12 minutes. It helps to fill the cases before putting them in the machine as less heat is then lost. Perfect results each time. Much fluffier and lighter buns than when I bake in my rayburn and uses so much less energy. I can't keep up with the demand now! I would have preferred a cream coloured machine and a longer flex but these are just small niggles. Otherwise top marks!

Prefer the oven! by Rachel

1 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

Mum purchased this for my birthday I have only tried this today. I followed the instructions to the letter but the machine took a lot longer than 5mins to warm up and the cupcakes were not cooked after 15 mins let alone 8. Feel gutted as it was a present but for the money my poor mum spent on it I feel bad for her I have a gift receipt and wonder if Lakeland would refund? I would not recommend this product. The cakes were sunk and burnt! But still uncooked.

quick and easy to make cupcakesby Michael

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

A little bit pale on top, but when iced or chocolate covered, look good. the cupcakes are light and yummy, and every batch comes out the same texture. Family was impressed with my baking. not a cake left out of 18. I found it easier to fill the mixture into the cupcake case and then placing in the cup holders in the machine, it works brilliantly with the silicone pastel cupcake cases.

Great gadgetby Sonya

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I love this item. I am disabled and sometimes can not get out of bed. This great little gadget means that I can still bake my cupcakes. They turn out perfectly every time. I use a wheat free vegan recipe. They come out perfectly golden on the top. The only thing I can say that is sort of negative is that you need to use the silicone moulds. I say sort of because useing less paper is good for the enviroment so maybe that is a bonus. I shall be purchasing more of these as gifts, for my nieces and nephews, with the silicone moulds.

LOVE IT!by Miss Bingham

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I have to admit that at first I was pretty dubious about it, I received it as a birthday gift. However after seeing the first batch come out I am hooked. Beautiful, golden brown, well risen, light cupcakes that taste scrummy using either a packet mix or my. The beauty of it really is the convenience. I prepare the cake batter whilst the machine heats up, put in the mix and 8 mins later they’re ready. I find it more reliable than my oven and because the heat is on both sides the rise of the cake is brilliant. Its easy to clean, small enough to store and looks pretty too! Love it so much!!

Happy Testersby Kim

4 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

Decided to buy the machine even though it had very mixed reviews. After three goes we are more than happy with the results. Cakes cook lovely and although pale on top, once covered with the cream topping who would know or care. Like any of these things, the more you use it the better it gets.

mr aj baughby Mrs Baugh

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

Great little machine. I can have petite fois scones and choc sponge with a dash of choc spread anytime without an oven. I only have to make 3 at a time, so there is not waste or drying out of the sponge, use with your cake tester probe and life is simples as the meercat says from Rus. No polonium 210 in our cakes says Boris.

High hopes, but disappointedby Cath

2 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

I'm really disappointed. The machine takes longer than 5 mins to heat up and I have only been able to get cakes that are burnt on the bottom if the cakes themselves are cooked. That's after trying all sorts of different levels of filling and various recipes, including the one provided. Shame.

A note from the team: Thanks for placing your review. A couple of handy tips...Foil paper cases or silicone ones may help stop the burnt bottoms and it could be best to fill the cases before putting them in the maker as too much heat is lost if the lid is open a long time. I'll be in touch to help further.

Perfect little cake maker!by Mrs Debi Waite

5 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

My daughter bought me this as a gift and from the first batch we have had lovely light little cakes. I have none of the problems of other reviewers. The only complaint I have is by the time I cook a second batch the first ones have been munched!

First impressionby Vincent Davis

4 stars out of 5

Lakeland Electric Cupcake Maker Blue

Nice looking gadget out of the box but my wife would have preferred it to be cream in colour rather than the sky-blue to fit in with the kitchen. The booklet is very basic so we also bought the book from Lakeland that gives you recipes and decorating ideas. Looking after the granddaughters soon, so thought I’d give it a dry run so to speak before they turned up. I decided on using the basic recipe from the booklet that came with the machine, having also purchased the Vanilla
