I love to bake, but also have a supply of packet mixes on hand for when I need to make something quickly when I’m tired/busy/being “helped” by my 5 year old.

Some of the packet mixes are great. My son loves the Thomas cakes which come with wafer Thomas the Tank Engine character pictures. I’m certainly not going to be able to make those from scratch!

That having been said, I think I will combine the cupcake recipe from the comments and your lemon curd idea with the Italian meringue. I do love lemon meringue pies, so these should be great.

I have a Company’s Coming cookbook somewhere with a recipe for cookies based on packet cake mix. I also have an awesome apple and custard crumble recipe that uses a vanilla cake mix as one of the ingredients.

They look delish! As for packets, I use an all in one mix in my Kitchenaid (you can use a food processor too)- 125g softened butter, 125g castor sugar, 125g SR flour (or plain flour and a heaped teaspoon of baking powder!) 2 eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Just mix it all together and add 1tbs milk to soften the mixture. Makes a dozen. For chocolate cupcakes I add some cocoa, coffee I add coffee, lemon I add lemon zest instead of vanilla etc etc etc! .-= Fifikins´s last blog ..Seasons Greetings… =-.
