Oh my goodness, I wasn’t not sure what I was expecting, but I just cannot praise Jane Asher’s edible ink markers enough, they are brilliant!!!
I had noticed them a couple times in Home Bargains and thought nah …… they won’t be any good, then with a Saturday visit from Iris and Bertie looming I was temporarily caught off guard thinking of something crafty to do and at £1.59 a pack I thought …… go on give ‘em a try! I have tried those little piping sets in plastic tubes before and they’ve been rubbish …….. what did I have to lose?
The colours are really vivid and don’t fade and in the form of a “proper” easily manageable pen, what more could we all want?
They were a resounding success, with Iris and Bertie being able to control what they were doing, with recognisable results, unlike a pile of identifiable squiggle, without an almighty struggle to get anything out of the tubes in the first place.
Yes, I was rash and also bought the Jane Asher Chocolate Frosting, delicious, but far too much for our needs, but I might try it on ice cream.
And the pot of four different sprinkles …….. well, apart from on the biscuits and straight into little mouths, they also went everywhere …….. and I mean everywhere!
The edible glitter was OK at 59p per pot, but a little disappointing in their sparkle according to a discerning Bertie, but a lovely afternoon with memories made and two extra biscuits very carefully parcelled up for Mum and Dad.
I am so pleased that I invested in two packs of the pens, more than enough hopefully to last for quite a while. I take a few biscuits with me on the school run to keep us going ……….. I am already planning my designs to the days leading up to Christmas and the end of term and more memories.
