Ok so if I have a sainsburys Victoria sponge mix that is
139 calories per 1/12 if I work it ok
Bare with me
So a whole cake is 1,668 calories
1,668 decided by 20 = 83.4 syns is that right ??
So if instead of using it for sponge cake and use it to make 24 cupcakes
Can I devide the 83.4 by 36 to get 2.4 syns a cupcake is that ok or not ???? Using diet lemonade in them also if I added food colouring would that make a huge difference to syns ?!?

To make 36 cupcakes sorry not 24

Well the working out part does seem to add up. What other ingredients do you need to add to the mix, is it just egg? I think food colouring is likely to be negligible as such a small amount is usually needed, but are you sure you will get 36 cupcakes from 1 packet sponge mix?? Let us know how you get on with them.

Your calculations are correct for 36 cupcakes. I don't think food colouring has syns. Anyway, you wouldn't be using a lot of it, so it wouldn't make much difference.

I don't see how you can use diet lemonade in a cake mix, but then I have never made a cake from a mix, so what do I know!!
