ORIGINAL TREAT: Original per slice 33g: 139 calories, 6.1g fat, 2.1g saturates, 13.1g sugars, 0.19g salt 

NEW OFFERING: Deliciously Good per slice 28g: 98 calories, 3.4g fat, 0.5 saturates, 5.8g sugars, 0.10g salt

Latoya’s verdict: ‘The original Angel slice has a very indulgent white and pink icing as well as a soft texture that reminds me of birthday cake.

‘In comparison the lower calorie option only has a few pink lines of icing and a slightly bitter taste. 

‘I think lovers of the original wouldn’t be fooled by the Deliciously Good Angel Slice but it is a great alternative for those counting their calories.’

The original Bakewell Slices (pictured left) have almost double the amount of calories as the Deliciously Good range of Bakewell Slices (pictured right)

NEW OFFERING: Deliciously Good per slice 28g: 99 calories, 3.5g fat, 0.5g saturates, 5.9g sugars, 0.09g salt

Latoya’s verdict: ‘I’m a huge lover of the original bakewell because it has a tart like texture, juicy plum and raspberry jam centre, and scrumptious fondant icing.

‘The lower calorie slice was much softer and didn’t have the classic topping. 

‘Instead, it has an almond and raspberry flavour sponge with raspberry filling and a hint of chocolate.

‘Despite the slight difference it was just as fruity and satisfying as the original. 

‘It has almost half the amount of calories and fat making it a significantly healthier option.’

Latoya’s verdict: ‘I grew up with my dad regularly buying Mr Kipling’s apple pies and saw them enjoyed on their own, as well as with custard or with ice cream.

‘The original pie has a very sweet pastry and is filled with mouthwatering chunks of apple. 

‘The lower calorie apple pie surprisingly tasted almost the same, despite not having the dusting of sugar on top and the pastry being slightly firmer. 

‘I would definitely buy the Deliciously Good alternative if I was looking for a sweet treat that is lower in sugar.’
