  I make these every year and they are delicious, simple and look amazing! I prefer to add a little more mixed spice but they are still great as they are!

  I made these for Easter and they were great, so much better than having a whole cake and such a great twist on a traditional recipe. I will be making them again, and not necessarily just at Easter!

  Made these for Easter this year and they were stunning!!! I'm not a great cook but these were very easy - with a little help from the children!

  Made these for the first time this easter instead of the usual traditional simnel cake and would now make them all the time. They were wonderfuly moist and also froze beatufully resulting in no watse which had been a problem with the large cakes.great to share with colleagues.

  I made these at Easter for the family. They all loved them. Never tasted such a moist muffin before. Will become one of my favourite recipes.

  The muffins are delicious, but I found them a bit too big and too sweet. If I made them again I would perhaps make standard bun size.

  Tried these yesterday. YUM YUM!!!!! a few left over for today but nowhere near as nice as yesterday. The children loved helping make them. We don't like orange peel so left that out and also substituted the squeezed orange juice for ordinary orange juice we keep in the fridge. Also as we don't like marzipan we left that out and took the advice of another comment and put a bit less mix in every case, they still rose fabulously well and we ended up having 16 muffins all of a very good size. Will be making this again for the Easter weekend.

  Very lovely, great easter treat and good with icing or without. Very light muffins as long as you don't overmix the batter. Will make again.

  This is the second year I have made these and they are delicious. I have just had to make a second batch as they were so popular, the first batch barely lasted a day. The only problem I have is getting the marzipan into the muffins before my son eats it all !!!
