Cadbury has hidden Gold Creme Eggs in shops around the country and you could win £5,000
OMG!
Cadbury has hidden 200 Gold Creme Eggs and they are worth up to £5k!!
Apparently, it’s now time for Easter chocolate to hit the shelves – personally, I can’t get over the fact that Halloween has already happened.
Luckily though, to cheer everyone up in lockdown, Cadbury’s have released golden Creme Eggs that come with a pretty nice cheque.
There are 200 hidden golden Creme Eggs and they’ve hit shelves across the country today.
If you’re lucky enough to find one, you could win a massive £5,000.
The Creme Eggs are wrapped in the normal branded foil wrap and you’ll only find out if you have a special one once you peel back the foil.
2021 marks the fifth year of the Golden Egg hunt, but this is the first year the egg will be covered in actual edible gold dust to celebrate 50 years since the launch of the Creme Egg.
They will be hidden across local newsagents and corner shops, as well as smaller supermarket branches such as Sainsbury’s Local, Tesco Express and Co-op stores.
The winning eggs could be sold individually or in multipacks, but you won’t find them in the big supermarkets.
If you track one down, all you have to do is call the number on the inside of the foil and make sure you don’t throw this away as it’s proof of purchase to claim the cash prize.
The money will either magically appear in your bank via transfer or you’ll get a cheque. You’ll have to claim your prize by 5pm on June 4th, 2021.
Some stores have confirmed their stock of Golden Eggs:
- Local corner and convenience shops – one worth £5,000, nine worth £500 and 20 worth £50
- Booker shops – one worth £5,000, three worth £500 and four worth £50

Recreate the iconic school dinner cake at home with this simple recipe
The best pudding in the world is making a comeback
Remember those really tasty and sugary puddings dished up during school dinners? You know, the one’s you’d get before Jamie Oliver had stuck his nose in?
Well, there’s a new recipe that will enable you to recreate the iconic vanilla sponge cake from the comfort of your own kitchen.
Rekindling those childhood memories, Instagram baker @cakeontherun recently shared her recipe for a vanilla traybake, complete with icing and sprinkles on top.
@cakeontherun / Instagram
The recipe for Laura’s vanilla cake tray bake uses no eggs, so a vegan version can easily be made using dairy-free milk. So, what are the rest of the ingredients?
All you’ll need is 400g self raising flour (or all purpose flour with 1 tsp extra baking powder, or gluten free flour), 250g caster sugar, 200g margarine, 200g vanilla or plain yoghurt, 200ml milk, 2 tsp vanilla essence/extract, 1 tbsp baking powder, a splash of lemon juice, 400g powdered icing sugar, a splash of cold water and sprinkles for the icing.
The method is straight forward, too: Firstly, you’ll need to pre-heat your oven to 180C/350F/ gas mark 4 before creaming the margarine and sugar together in a large bowl. Then, you’ll need to sift in the flour and add all of the other ingredients.
Mix together until combined – though be careful not to over mix! Once this has been done, line a baking dish with parchment paper and bake for thirty minutes (or when the top is golden and the sponge is cooked in the middle.)

Then, remove the cake from the tin and paper and leave to cool on a wire rack. You can then make the icing sugar by slowly adding water to the powder in a deep bowl. When it’s runny and the cake is cooled, pour over the top and then scatter sprinkles. Then, you can cut into chunks and serve with custard to live out your primary school dream.
Other fun twists you can try is coconut (using coconut milk and desiccated coconut instead of dairy and sprinkles), almond (with almond milk and almond slices) and lemon.
