If you’ve ever stumbled across the BBC show The Great British Bake Off you’ve probably been inspired to whip up a treat or two of your own. The thing is, mine never really come out looking like they do on the show – most of the time something doesn’t rise like it’s supposed to and I’m left with one of those cakes that causes children to flee birthday parties.

I suppose we can’t always get it right, although having the right tools at your disposal usually goes a long way to emulating the creation you saw on the telly. I don’t know exactly what your kitchen is lacking but you can plug the gap with your pick of a Russell Hobbs Baking and Mixing Appliance, starting from R399 and offering you the choice to pick your weapon.

• R399 for a Russell Hobbs Desire Hand Mixer (R549 value)
• R649 for a Russell Hobbs Esse Stick Blender Set – White and Silver (R799 value)
• R899 for a Russell Hobbs Compact Standing Bowl Mixer (R1 099 value)
• R2 299 for a Russell Hobbs Heritage Machine Mixer (R2 799 value)

You can find out more about each of those appliances HERE, and feel free to send us samples of your successful baking missions.

While you’re here you may as well take a look at this deal on a Proline 7” Quad Core 4GB Wi-Fi Tablet with Sleeve, now down from R999 to R599. This tablet runs on Android 4.4 Kitkat and everything about this little wonder feels fast, fluid and smooth.

Hand it off the kiddies and keep your model all to yourself, let your folks dip their toes into the internet and watch them comment on every photo you ever post, we’ll leave that one in your hands.

That’s all she wrote guys and girls, happy shopping.
