MR Kipling's exceedingly good cakes have become exceedingly expensive.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year consumer watchdog Which? warned Bakewell tarts and chocolate slices had gone up by 129 per cent and 98.7 per cent respectively.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And a pack of eight Angel Slices will now set you back a staggering \u00a34.15 at some supermarkets.<\/p>\n

But are any of the cheaper, copycat versions as good?<\/p>\n

We asked Lynsey Hope, 42, from West Malling, Kent, to taste some own brand 'dupes' to see if they taste as good…<\/p>\n

Lynsey says: "Incredibly sweet, but tasty none the less. <\/p>\n

"These had more vanilla cream in the middle than any of the dupes and the pink piping looked more elegant. <\/p>\n

"Pricey though when you consider they are tiny and cost over 45p each. <\/p>\n

"These do come in individual plastic packaging which helps keep them fresher for longer."<\/p>\n

Morrisons Angel Cake Slices (174g)<\/h2>\n

\u00a31.39 (23p each)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lynsey says: "Considering these cakes cost less than half the price of Mr Kipling's slices, I thought they were pretty good. <\/p>\n

"The colours were pretty and I couldn't wait to tuck in. The sponge was light and airy and the icing gave them a lovely flavour. <\/p>\n

"I would have preferred more vanilla in the middle, but overall not bad at all."<\/p>\n

Score: 4\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aldi Holly Lane Angel Slices (165g)<\/h2>\n

99p (16.5p each)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lynsey says: "The sponge was soft and tasty but you couldn't taste the vanilla filling very well and the crust on these bakes was a little overdone. <\/p>\n

"They looked the most similar to Mr Kipling's cakes, with vertical pink piping. A great price, but not the tastiest."<\/p>\n

Score: 3\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tesco Angel Cake Slices (160g)<\/h2>\n

\u00a31.10 (18.3p each)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lynsey says: "Much drier than Mr Kipling's cakes and the pink half of the sponge was very light in colour. <\/p>\n

"They needed more icing and more vanilla cream in the centre. Not the tastiest, I wouldn't rush back for these."<\/p>\n

Score: 2\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lidl Rowan Hill Bakery Angel Slices (165g)<\/h2>\n

"The sponge was light and airy and the vanilla flavour icing had a lovely flavour. The pink piping was pretty and delicate. <\/p>\n
