How do I look?

Our Red Velvet Cake has a striking deep-red Sponge with chocolate notes. It is held together and topped with a velvety vanilla buttercream filling and sprinkled with a pretty red crumb.

STORAGE - Please store me in an air-tight container in a cosy spot - I don't like being kept in the fridge. Can be frozen for up to 6 months.

How do I arrive?

Our sponge cakes are packaged in secure and robust packaging. The inner box is wrapped around the cake to securely hold it in place so the sides and top do not get damaged in transit. The box also includes a handy cutting guide! It is then put in a strong cardboard outer box for extra protection so it will arrive to you safely.

    Slightly disappointed as expected a much richer more moist cake. Would not choose this flavour again.

    Just an amazing cake. Couldn’t be simpler - easy to order, easy to pay, pick your day and an exquisite cake arrives. What’s not to like?

    Recipient was delighted with cake. Unfortunately she couldn’t taste it fully due to COVID but the joy it brought in the circumstances means I couldn’t recommend it more. “Best present ever“ was uttered. Great that the product can be frozen so it can be fully enjoyed when the taste buds return!

    Ordered the red velvet cake. Sponge was fantastic, thought the icing was a little lack lustre. It did not add much to the overall sponge and could've done to be a little heavier and creamier to contrast the light sponge better. An option to order just the sponges so buyers could ice themselves might be appreciated.

    Cake was moist and very tasty; Had a "weight" to it which was satisfying. Appearance was also good - lovely red velvet look. Not sure I could have baked one better myself!

    The cake was lovely and rich, you could really taste the depth of flavours. The cream cheese icing provided a nice tang of flavour.

    Colour is very appealing the cake had a good standard of topping but not to much to take away the overall appearance of the cake the icing in the middle is of a standard evenly spread and not to sweet the sponge is light and moist and cuts easy the cake when sliced holds together perfectly as a slice and the colour is consistent throughout

    The red velvet cake was lovely presented and moist. It was not too sweet like shop bought cakes . I loved the thickness of the cake and the buttercream. The cake did not taste eggy like shop bought cakes , but tasted like a home made cake which I like. The entire family loved it.

    The cake was very fresh and look fantastic. When cut it was moist and tasted like a cake should taste. The filling was generous and overall the cake tasted great.

    This is the first time I have ever received a cake in the post. It was our wedding anniversary and my husband bought it as a bit of a gamble. I am extremely fussy over cakes but this did not disappoint in any way at all. It arrived on time was fresh, And totally delicious. Well done to everyone who was was involved in the whole process and the development of the company. I will be buying cakes for all occasions for all my friends and family. Thank you xx 👍😁
