For those who have been following my blog or know me in person should know that I can't bake. Not that I didn't try, but somehow the end result always ended up in the rubbish bin. A classic example was my big-time failure Meat Floss Swissroll that is inedible at all! But today, I am so excited because I finally baked something that is not only edible, but very tasty as well.
And here, presenting my gorgeous-looking Raspberry & White Choc Muffins!! 
Err.....I have a confession to make. The credit to my success actually goes to this premix that I got from Coles supermarket. Yes yes yes...stop rolling eyes there. I know I cheated!!! Well, for big-time failure like me, I need something like this to boost up my confidence (excuse excuse). Anyway, I was strolling down the aisle today when I saw this Coles housebrand muffin mix on sale. The instructions were pretty easy to me, so I bought it and decided to bake it today to surprise my sis when she get home from work.
The box came with a packet of cake mix and a packet of raspberry sauce. It only requires butter, an egg and some milk. SO EASY! I don't even need to dig out the weighing scale and no heavy washing too!
The whole process took me less than 5 minutes!
I found out that I don't even know how to swirl!!! Look at the mess I made.
I am very happy with the end result. The gorgeous muffins turned out really moist and soft. Surprisingly, not as sweet as I thought it would be. Now I am so looking forward to see what other flavours they have as well. Hmmm...maybe I should get a few boxes to bring home next year so that I could bake some for Chinese New Year!! Anyway, got to go make myself a nice cup of English tea to go with my muffins now...ciao!!

oooo..That looks great! And it's coles brand too! Woah! Love the swirls!
Looks great! Congrats :o)
j2kfm: Hehehe..true also. It still requires a bit of skill in terms of mixing it and making sure that the oven temperature is rite hor?? :)
vialentino: Welcome back!!
live2talk: Thank you thank you..so when are you going to start cooking again?
sonia: Well, I always believe in starting from scratch for real satisfaction. But i guess, with baking I have to stay with pre-mix for the time being.
fbb: The thing i love about Melbourne is the cool weather..no fever this time. But then again, I didn't wait right in front of the oven this time cos I didn't put much hope on it. Surprise surprise, it turned out so well.
daphne: Do try...it smells really good the moment you start mixing it. It reminds me of the Wall's Raspberry Ripple ice cream I used to love when I was a kiddo.
wmw: Thank you :) :)!!!
