Thank you Peter! Our goal is to send the most delicious cake and make it as hassle free as possible so glad we got the thumbs up from you! EB x
For some reason
For some reason, the delivery company occasionally delivers at my home address, (as it did this time), when usually it delivers at the shop, which is where it should go. I have made the shop the default address again, but can you delete all other 9 addresses that are variations of the same? I have deleted my home address completely now. Thanks.

Hey Nikki, thank you so much for leaving us your review. Sorry to hear you had trouble with your delivery.
We have checked your order and can confirm it was delivered to the address provided with the order. We never change delivery info once an order has come through. If you notice that your address is wrong on the order confirmation, just email us and we can change it.
We think the issue lies within the auto saved fields that are saved in your account, likely to be linked with the saved settings on the card you use to make payments with. We will get in touch directly to check the address you'd like to use in the future and give you more info how to use the account without adding new addresses each time you place an order.
Best wishes,

From Trade Customer to Father’s Day Treat
I am a trade customer and stock a variety of Exploding Bakery tray bakes in my sandwich shop in Lyme Regis in Dorset. I want to share the love of these delicious cakes so I decided to send (to Surrey) my dad the delicious coffee and walnut tray bake for Father’s Day using their delivery service. Excellent communication, from confirmation email to delivery information. As always the cake arrived on time and my dad was very happy. 😋
