Cute cakes

Cute cakes - wonderful selection and choice. Delivery was perfect.

These were delightful for the occasion.

My only constructive comment is that they were very sweet. Purely subjective as to taste because as a family we are minimal on sugar.

The Little Cakes

The Little Cakes were part of a champagne celebration where old friends were reunited after thirty years. It was a very special occasion. I placed an order a few days ahead, the cakes were fresh, moist and very tasty. I would have no hesitation in placing orders in the future.

Perfect Cakes

Perfect cakes! My friend loved them :) However Royal Mail thoroughly let you down. They claimed they were unable to deliver even though my friend was in, they didn’t leave a card and didn’t follow the delivery instructions printed on the label to deliver to a neighbour if out (she was in!). Fortunately she got them two days later, Royal Mail left them by her door the second time when she was out! Long story short, great cakes! Royal Mail rubbish! Could you consider a choice of courier? Everyone knows who is good in their own area and Royal Mail isn’t good in mine x

Cakes were tiny

Cakes were tiny, one bite per cake… definitely not worth the money.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Each of our Little Cakes is approximately 5cm tall with a 4cm diameter. We recommend 2–3 Little Cakes per person to ensure a satisfying portion. Our team takes great care to use only high-quality ingredients and craft each cake with attention to detail, which we believe makes them truly special. We are always happy to help and if there is anything else you would like to discuss, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you.

Great Mothers Day Gift.

My mother loved these little cakes. All the different flavours and enough fillings etc. My one star down was for the delivery. It’s 24 hr tracked post office. Didn’t arrive on the right day. Not the cake companies fault I guess but trading standards say you need to go back to the company to chase up deliveries. Unfortunately the cake company didn’t read my text. Sent from their contacts page. But received eventually and the product was great. I will order again.

A lovely gift!

I ordered some cakes as a gift. The feedback from the recipient was very positive. The cakes were packaged carefully with an explanatory card, and apparently they were all delicious!

Beautiful cakes - delicious too

Beautiful cakes, very pretty presentation. I bought these for my mum for Mother's Day. Easy to order, cakes were delicious. The only area for improvement is the delivery - they were left on the doorstep in the rain and a neighbour rescued them from getting wet.

I am sorry to be disappointed

I am sorry to be disappointed. I sent this as part of a 21st birthday gift and it all went so well. Arrived on time. Very well packaged. But they are not as pictured online. It’s advertised as white chocolate topping with delicate edible flowers and the image online is very pretty. Although I understand the online image is always better than an actual product - what arrived was so far removed I felt really let down. Strong pink topping, tiny icing balls that had merged into the topping and either no flowers or a very sorry looking squished single flower. I am hoping they will taste nice despite the presentation being so poor.

I bought a box of assorted cakes for my daughter and her family to cheer them up. For her, her husband and her two sons.
A great success they loved them.

Anniversary Gift

The cakes were bought as a gift for my parents anniversary.
The website and ordering was straightforward and the cakes arrived promptly.
My parents were so pleased to receive them, saying they were lovely and having various flavours was a real treat
