Posted on September 7, 2026 by Sabrina

“I was impressed that it wasn’t very loud, the mixer has several speed settings as well as efficient and convenient ways of locking, unlocking and adjusting all aspects of the machine. By the time I had baked my first batch of cookie muffins the feeling of being intimidated had left me”. (Full Review Below).

I have written this review about a product that I have been supplied for free, in order to test and then review it. This is my experience with said product and it is my honest review about the product listed below. At this time I have already submitted my review to the Argos Website, and it has been accepted on to live public view when this blog post has been published.

My Full Review

As someone who has always wanted a mixer but been intimidated by the thought of owning one, the Kenwood has set my mind at ease by being simple to use and easy to figure out.

There are well designed release buttons and a speed setting dial, a stainless steel bowl and three attachments for all your baking needs.

I’m not well versed with things such as pastry, this mixer will predominantly be used for cakes and muffins and the like. Though I feel like trying to make my own pizza dough after realising how efficient this machine really is.

The Kenwood has lots of excellent features and accessories, such as the easy grip bowl with a great ergonomic handle, there are also tool storage slots behind at the rear of the machine too. The built in splash guard is a wonderful idea, with a hole so that you can still add extra ingredients as you mix, and with a measuring spoon included in the fitted piece over said hole.

I was impressed that it wasn’t very loud, the mixer has several speed settings as well as efficient and convenient ways of locking, unlocking and adjusting all aspects of the machine. By the time I had baked my first batch of cookie muffins the feeling of being intimidated had left me.

Overall I am very satisfied with how little space the unit takes up in my kitchen (because I had worried it would be massive once assembled). And with the storage for the accessories built in it’s a game changer in a small kitchen like mine. It’s also quite light weight and has suction feet on the base too! Perfect for amateur bakers like me.

As for how efficient the mixer is I can’t complain, I did 10 minutes of prepping all my ingredient measurements and I only had them in the mixer for a total of 3 minutes until everything was blended. From start to bake it was less than 20 mins before everything was ready to be portioned out and baked in my oven. It is a game changer for regular baking and I look forward to being more adventurous with it in the future as well.

I would recommend this as a mixer for anyone who was starting out at baking or who wanted to level up from doing it by hand, and letting a machine take some of that mixing strain. We all have to level up sometime so why not with a Kenwood which is honestly a great brand, and a reliable device with plenty to occupy you in a basic home kitchen set up.

Sabrina’s Final Scores and Honest Opinion

As far as home appliances go, you want something reliable and a product that does what it says it’s going to do. The Kenwood Multitasker does as described and has all these lovely nice extra bonus aspects too, like the built in storage and splash guard. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone new to baking but also for anyone who has a smaller kitchen, because it doesn’t take up much space but still allows for plenty of kitchen and baking exploration and fun. I look forward to exploring it more, maybe I will make a pizza dough once I’ve had enough of baking cake.

Reviewing and Comparing Chocolate Chip Cake Bars

Posted on September 22, 2018 by Sabrina

Reviewing and Comparing Chocolate Chip Cake Bars

So today I’m Reviewing and Comparing Chocolate Chip Cake Bars available from Tesco. Why? I hear you ask, well someones got to do it! Ha! Ha! No seriously though, I have been living off tasty snacks since my son was born. Including Cake Bars! I have needed sugary snacks to get me through long nights and early morning feeds.

I have shopped at Tesco for many years and I have always supported their own brand products too. Sometimes I would only purchase the branded version if they were on special offer.

Today I wanted to Review the two most similar cakes that I buy regularly and explain what I like best about each of them. I am going to score them after the product information has been shown, and tell you why I choose to buy them.

Here are the two types of chocolate chip cakes bars that I purchase on a regular basis. Exclusive to Tesco Ms Molly’s Treat Store and Mr Kipling Exceedingly Good Cakes.

This is what the cake bars look like out of the boxes.

My Opinion Of Each Cake Bar Brand.

Ms Molly’s: These are delicious cakes that have been individually baked so that the inside stays soft and the sponge is light. There are chocolate chips running throughout the inside of the bar that taste delicious and are a nice contrast in texture to the sponge cake itself. You can see from the image above that the cake bar is a nice shape and are always a good golden colour to show they are well baked. They are very affordable at 9p a cake, and I would happily put them in my trolley every time that I go shopping (and usually do!) The use by dates are normally around 2-4 weeks after the purchase date which gives you plenty of time to eat them. Overall I really enjoy the taste and texture of the Molly’s cake bars, a nice sponge and delicious chocolate pieces, to be honest the price is just a bonus!

Value for Money 5✩

Mr Kipling: These cake bars have very tasty chocolate chips that are not only found inside the cake itself but also scattered on top of it. The Mr Kipling brand is very well known and I am fond of their cakes. The only downside with these particular cakes is that they are cut bars and not baked individually, so the sponges aren’t as soft as some other cake bars such as Molly’s. Even though I find the chocolate tastes nicer in these cakes the actual sponge itself isn’t as moist or as soft as its cheaper counterpart. For this reason I would honestly choose the Tesco own version of Molly’s over Mr Kipling.

Here are what the two bars look like inside. As you can see the texture of the Ms Molly’s is more moist and is a bigger size. Where as the Mr Kipling bar is a lighter texture sponge but with more chocolate chips.
