Not so magnificent muffins 14th May 2009

I recently attended the muffin course at this school and unfortunately I was very disappointed.

The ingredients measured out for us before we arrived were incorrectly measured leading to some mixtures being too wet and others being far too dry. No real guidance was given on what the correct measurements should be. I thought this was inexcusable as we were told by the lady running the class that the secret to good muffins was to be very precise with the measurements. We were told that we did not need sugar in the fruit muffins which meant, in my opinion, they were far too bland.

Finally, the muffins did not last. We all took home a selection of nine which we finished baking after 9pm. I took them into work the next day and they were inedible. When I was complained I was told that muffins do not last – I appreciate that they might not last for weeks or even days but I thought 24 hours would be reasonable.

Overall, very disappointing and far too expensive.
