Terrybakes Reviews 324

I placed my order in September 2025 and, yes, the wait was long, but that was part of the fun. Mystery cakes arriving on a mystery day? We were fully on board.

Unfortunately, the delivery didn’t quite go to plan. It was marked as delivered but never showed up. I emailed, and Nikita got back to me quickly and chased it up straight away. She was really helpful and clearly understood my disappointment (and my slight cake-related heartbreak).

I mentioned we’d probably order again in the future anyway, curiosity alone would see to that - but instead, they sent out a replacement box at no extra charge, which was genuinely appreciated. Thank you, Terry and Nikita!

All I can say is we thoroughly enjoyed the cakes. So much so that we’ve decided it’s now a family treat, we’re planning a few random orders and turning it into a bi-monthly surprise.

Honestly, I don’t really understand the negative reviews. I ordered knowing there’d be a wait. Is it long? Yes. Slightly ridiculous? Also yes. But it’s a small operation - one man, one woman, running a business, raising a family, and somehow still posting out boxes of joy.

Keep doing what you’re doing… we’ll be back (impatiently waiting, but happily so).

Ordered sept 22nd 2025 recieved march 2026 very excited cakes arrived all the hype and the wait I couldn't wait to try them. I can honestly say they were awaful heavy no taste to them at all the sponge should be nice and fluffy but terry bakes wear not I woudnt order again I dont mind waiting 7 months if it worth the wait but it wasn't

Do not buy from this person unless you want a very long wait 6 months minimum. And not the greatest cakes either. Go with get baked so much more better.

guy takes orders he cant fulfil takes payment upfront spends the money whilst you wait 26+ weeks for 4 poorly packaged cakes made with the cheapest ingredients. bankruptcy cant be far behind

I knew there was a wait but 6 months. Come on 6 months on 4 cakes. To be fair they were off good size. Wish they wasn’t tho. Very very very dry. You can tell instantly it’s cheap ingredients. The quality isn’t there at all. I jump on the bandwagon when I should have fallen of it. Won’t be buying again.

Waited a while, new this when I ordered. He makes no secret of it.

I waited, they were most definitely worth it!!
Only 4 * because of the delay, but I new that.

Can’t comment on the cakes as I ticked the box that said it would be a 12 week wait, but after 6 months I decided to cancel it. Who wants to wait 1/2 a year for some cakes. Also reviews are all poor. They didn’t care when I requested a refund (still waiting for it) and just said no problem, order cancelled. They must get a lot of cancel requests. I just don’t understand why he keeps opening up for new orders when he has a 6 month backlog. Also his social media is just him constantly moaning about making drip cakes. Get new content, it’s getting boring now so have unfollowed

I had a birthday cake made for our daughter.
The cake was lovely best of all she got to meet Terry and Nikita both of them are lovely and genuine.

I waited just shy of 6 months and was it worth it No it wasn’t. All the cakes tasted raw. All cakes were very dry and portion sizes very small. Why is he still taking orders when he’s got a 6 month wait. If I was you I’d get a refund as there vile

All i said was, alright mate you are getting some bad reviews, before I could say I be my own judge and order a box. He blocked me what a fairy cake with know personal skills what so ever, I stick to Mark's and Spencer.

when ordered was asked to tick a box saying 12 week wait, i did this even though i thought it was quite a wait......the reality is it takes closer to 6 months so almost double his advertised wait. When they turned up they were fairly large but were very average cakes! Would probably avoid in future, the 6 month delay is a terrible business policy if something happens for whatever reason and he cant fulfil orders do you think he has the money to refund 6 months worth of orders? After looking into him it seems he has a habit of doing this and then running a go fund me to get him out of trouble.......

Taste like they have been frozen, the cake was all squashed and for £25 it’s totally not worth it.
Didn’t care that I had to wait 5 months for delivery but was really hoping they would be great to make the wait more worth it.

Lovelybakes, generous sized portions, I don’t understand why Terry gets so much hate, customers know the wait times when they order! Would recommend, keep up the good work Terry xx

I’m sorry to say I got suckered into his initial social media hype he was different new and with a good vibe and he made cakes, what’s not to like.
Prior to ordering I enquired as to the wait time and was planning a holiday so didn’t want them to arrive whilst away.
However his customer service skills are non existent, my question remained unanswered as I was deleted from his social media platforms.
I was disappointed but also relieved as the advertised ‘up to 12 weeks’ has turned into 6 months wait, with any genuine questions removed and the poster deleted.
Wow !
Not recommended, support your local cake shed or reputable baker
This chap doesn’t seem to care one bit about customers and spends more time visiting cities and splashing out on top notch clothing and food for himself rather than for filling orders.
He’s no influencer and no baker !

169 day wait time, pathetic. I made a complaint and asked for an update in my order - He blocked me and made a TikTok slandering me!!!!

Ordered in september and we only recieved the box, stale and not nice at all, Multiple broken headbutted and wasted cakes posted on his socials whilst he has a 6 nearly 7 months back log. What to do is stop taking orders until you fulfill the ones you have but think the money is making the greed really show in big terry. Will never order again

Awful waited months for mystery box to arrive. Finally received I was so hoping to prove everyone wrong and they be lovely tasty bakes but my god they were awful my 5 year old could make better. Dry stale and just awful.
You can’t contact him regarding your order as he just abuses you then blocks you for speaking up. And then calls those that have ordered trolls while out spending there money. I really hope this horrid man gets his karma as he and his wife are nothing but scam artists

Well what I can I say . The 6 month wait is ridiculous . You don't mind that sort of wait if you got something that is extremely good but to sit and wait for some cakes that aren't even mediocre is crazy . Looking on his socials he only uses the cheapest ingredients he can get his hands on ( while he indulges himself and family with top brands ) I'm really unsure as to how he is still going . Nothing but a fraud ripping people off for cakes that are even worth couple pound a slice . WILL NEVER USE AGAIN !
