Keeping me entertained over the last…
Keeping me entertained over the last few months, to inspiring me to start baking again to finally ordering thank you
....
What a horrible, arrogant, lying man he is.
Just to clarify i have not ordered or ever plan on ordering from this man. Why anyone would support this man and his family after the things they have done. Fraudulent go fund mes for things they said they needed but they didn't even use the money for it, just spent it on god knows what else. It was FRAUD! How people can be so stupid to keep being fooled by him is beyond me.
Today we found out that he's an "inspiration" to people, I'd love to know how he is inspiring people? Is it how to commit crimes and get away with it? How to not make cakes? How to spit all over cakes that he sells? Have no idea about cross contamination? How to run a business? Really??? Common people, wake up!!!
Under baked over priced
Feel robbed!
Genuinely was happy to have waited since September.
However when opening the box I was sadly disappointed with the overall look. Squashed in cheap plastic bags. You could taste the cheapness of the bakes. Too synthetic and sweet. Greasy as well.
He just blocks anyone who complains so you can't get an honest opinion from their fb page. Those that say they are happy imo are just sad sheep. He obviously doesn't care about quality just making a massive profit on poor cheap bakes.
Absolute conman and woman. Hopefully folk will soon realise and the sales will soon reflect if haven't already.
Should be a law against these kind of sellers!
Please take your business elsewhere
To begin with I was taken in by this man whose page came up on my Instagram, and I actually ordered two boxes from him, yes £50 spent thinking I was supporting a small family business.
At the time there was a 6 week wait, but I thought ok, will cope with that. The cakes were okay, I would say average, but certainly not worth £6.25 per slice. The chocolate sponge was lacking in real chocolate flavour and I didn’t like the oatie with white chocolate topping at all. As for the brownie, there are far better brownie makers out there, for example Say it with Brownies.
In light of the quality, I didn’t order again and I’m glad I didn’t, as it was drawn to my attention that a dog had to be put to sleep after developing a leg problem in his care. He seems to get and then part with dogs like they are items not animals.
I’m also aware of several Gofundmes and that his garage bakery was done for him for free by some kind people. Odd that he couldn’t afford to pay given the lavish lifestyle he lives.
Anyway he’s currently over 20 weeks behind with mystery boxes and STILL taking orders. Therefore order at your own risk, bearing in mind all the better value bakes out there that you can have delivered within a week. Such as George’s Bakery, Dollies Cookies, Doughgirl, to name but a few.
There are a lot of fake reviews on…
There are a lot of fake reviews on here. I can honestly say most of all these negative comments are fake. They have never tried the cakes! They are just trying to ruin this guys business! Which is so wrong!
If you watch his TikTok’s you can see…
If you watch his TikTok’s you can see spit going into the cakes not only that he is a Dog abuser! 😡
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.....
I've had Terry's bakes twice and both times the cakes, brownies and cookies have all been big and tasted amazing. I order every mth. Don't believe all horrible reviews. Keep going Terry.
I’d like to start by saying please don’t waste your money!
I’d like to start by saying please don’t part with your money! Ordered a mystery box, it came last week now when you see the cakes he shows on his videos you will get nothing like these.
My cakes because I paid for, for him to make them why I don’t know but I’m house bound and thought I’d give him a chance, they was all smaller than he shows and had got squashed on the way to me, they had all stuck to the plastic sandwich bags he uses not one of them was worth saving, I emailed and complained and the reply I received was, what did you want them to do about it as once they’ve left his house it’s then down to the delivery service, this is appalling customer service, please take my advice don’t waste you’re money and time waiting for for months on end for a box of sweaty crumbs to turn up. If you can get out to go buy local I’d strongly encourage you too. Luckily I have 2 wonderful carers who have bought me some beautiful cakes and cookies and cookie pie slices.
Margie.
Would not order again unfortunately
I ordered a mystery box in September 2025 and they got delivered 14th 2026 of feb, which wasn’t an issue as Iknow through his following he has a ‘back log’ .. However I expected much better especially with the wait as I assumed they must be ‘the best’ bakes. Unfortunately they was not,
All 4 of the products was over rated, over cooked & overpriced. They went in the bin. I’m so devastated for Terry & the bakes as I really wanted them to be amazing or at least edible! Standards are non existent here, not sure who is doing the quality control.
My advice would be to NOT bother :( x
A friend ordered some of these so…
A friend ordered some of these so called delicious cakes. After waiting months they finally turned up. And wow we should have been paid to eat them. Dry undercooked and cheap ingredients. My sons attempts at cooking at nursery have been better. Not long after that I watched a live. Where you could see visible spit/ saliva and that was all over the products being made. It made me feel physically sick. At least should be wearing some kind of mask to stop Saliva going all over the cakes.
DO NOT ORDER Terry Cakes Mystery Box
I ordered the Terry Cakes Mystery Box and honestly, the only mystery is how every single item managed to go wrong in a completely different way.
Let’s start with the cake. It looked fine on the outside, but one bite in and it was clearly undercooked. Not “luxuriously gooey” — more “did someone forget to set a timer?” The center had the unmistakable texture of batter that never committed to becoming cake.
Next up, the cookie. I don’t know how something can be both baked and bone-dry, but they pulled it off. The second I picked it up, it disintegrated into crumbs so fine it resembled edible dust. One bite triggered a crumb explosion across my table. I’m still finding crumbs in places that make absolutely no sense.
Then came the bourbon brownie. I had high hopes. Those hopes were misplaced. It was dense in the way a brick is dense. The bourbon flavor? If it was there, it must have evaporated along with any hint of moisture. Somehow heavy and dry at the same time — an impressive but deeply unfortunate achievement.
Finally, the oat flapjack. I expected chewy, buttery comfort. What I got was a slab of oats clinging together out of pure determination. It felt less like a treat and more like emergency rationing.
And to top it all off, I emailed to complain and didn’t even receive a response. No apology. No acknowledgment. Nothing.
So to summarize:
• Cake: undercooked.
• Cookie: turned to dust.
• Bourbon brownie: edible brick.
• Oat flapjack: survival bar.
• Customer service: nonexistent.
Do not order from here!!!!
Not great
I ordered a box in September knowing that there was a wait. Received my box in February, the portion sizes were good but unfortunately the taste/quality was not.
I had kinder cookie pie which was OK, due to the filling the cookie crust was very dry. A Biscoff cookie which was so dry I couldn’t even eat it. Old skool cake which was obviously undercooked (stodgy through the middle) and a coconut/pistachio brownie which I didn’t eat as I don’t like coconut so I can’t comment on the quality of that.
I wanted to give these bakes a try & the benefit of the doubt despite so many bad reviews after following on Instagram for a while thinking maybe it was a witch hunt. Sadly really underwhelmed & would not recommend.
Give Terry a try you might be pleasantly surprised
I ordered back in September where I was warned there would be a wait of at least 12 weeks, it was longer but that didn't bother us, just ended up being a nice weekend treat.
I have seen lots of trolls online saying the bakes were small. The first thing my adult daughter said when they arrived was so omg they are huge. We gave 3 different family members a bake each which they share due to the size. They all said they were amazing and would happily order themselves.
My advice is try for yourself rather than believing everything you read online.
What a waste
I really wanted to like these...
After the huge wait, I was optimistic. I'm sorry but these are without any shadow of a doubt the worst bakes I have ever tried. I am a regular buyer of these sorts of goods.
The ices topping had melted into the plastic cellophane and the cookie dough was undercooked. All 4 bakes were incredibly synthetic. They went in the bin.
I have ordered online from a few bakeries now - I won't name them bevause I would not to be accused of being a hater or promoted other businesses. But let me just say these were grim... real grim.
If you want to pay £25 for sweaty synthetic cheap tasting bakes in unappealing packaging, go for Terry. If not, literally order from anyone else.
Well..
My Mum ordered a mystery box from Terry and waited 5 MONTHS!! Cakes were abysmal and not edible at all! She definitely won’t be making another order again.
Long wait for ok cakes
Waited 5 months for the mystery box to finally turn up, yes the cakes were nice but my local bakery are just as good. Paid £25 and had 2x school cakes which was annoying as was hoping for a mix, and there was a white chocolate mint aero cake and a biscoff cake, all ok cakes but not worth all the hope. Sadly it’ll be my one and only purchase
Mystery box
Just received my mystery box. We’ve been so excited to try Terry’s bakes and well they didn’t disappoint. My family of four all tried the Kinder Cookie Pie and it was truly the most scrumptious sweet treat I’ve eaten in a while. We also had the Lotus Biscoff cookie, school sprinkle cake and pistachio and coconut brownie. Terry’s Bakes are worth the wait…why not try something new. “Yum 🤬 yum”. 😋
I really wanted these cakes to be good…
I really wanted these cakes to be good but sadly they were so bad I had to put them in the bin! The cookie pie was underbaked, the oaty thing was dry and the sprinkle sponge again was also dry and underbaked….. what a waste of money don’t bother
Don’t waste ur money
i haven’t ordered his cakes, i wouldn’t anyways everything i’ve heard about him it doesn’t present him in the best light. from dog abuse to stale cakes, to scamming people on tik tok, i’ve gone down the rabbit hole and can’t come out, anyone who wants to order cakes and wait 5 months then that’s their choice but everyone should read these reviews first. i also have seen he creates fake profiles to give himself good comments and reviews. if it was just one rumour i’d pass it off as nothing, but multiple sources have said the same thing, and yet people still are backing terry up, im here to basically spread awareness. do not buy off this man.
Worth the wait ?
When I ordered I expected a long wait ..it was stated on the website . My wait was slightly longer than advertised but I knew a minimum meant it would be longer however cakes have arrived . They didn’t last long . I will order some more and if they arrive by Christmas no issues I know there will be a delay
