What size cakes do you sell?

How should I store a red velvet cake?

We believe cakes taste best when they arrive, but if needed, you can freeze our red velvet cake for up to six months. Just then defrost for around 10 hours before serving and ensure the cake is up to room temperature before eating.

Can I store a red velvet cake in the fridge?

Storing a cake in the fridge can dry out the cake and give it a dry texture. We would recommend storing in an air-tight container at room temperature. Our cakes will last from around 7 - 10 days from dispatch.

Do you sell birthday cakes?

Our cakes are perfect for birthdays, and all occasions!

Do you deliver cake to offices?

We can deliver cake to an office - just choose the correct day during the week and you'll be good to go.

GET THAT SWEET SPOT

Buttercream loves a gentle warm-up, and brownies need a little patience to reach their soft, gooey magic. Our bakes have been chilling in transit and need time to be their best so if your sponge is a little dry give it some more time.

ROOM TEMP, BEST TEMP

Let your bake rest in their packaging for up to 12 hours or when it reaches room temperature. It will then be at its full, fluffy glory. Cake is always at its best when it’s cosy, not chilly.

KEEP IT FRESH

Pop leftovers in an airtight container and store somewhere cool and dry... no fridge chills or sunbathing, please! Keeping them at room temperature keeps your bakes soft, gooey, and full of joy.

FREEZE FOR FUTURE JOY

Celebration postponed? Wrap your cake carefully and freeze for up to six months. When you’re ready, thaw at room temperature to bring back that soft, fresh-baked magic you love.

I sent this cake to my son for a bit of a morale boost half way through his first term at University. His response was that the cake was great, went down very well with his flatmates. Its my daughter favorite cake and was impressed Ordering was fine, red velvet cake secured with it all perfect. Would definitely order again. Very soon The best red velvet cake I’ve had to-date. Beautiful cake Lovely and tasty, soft and perfect Met all expectations. This is my son’s favourite cake and wanted for his birthday. He was extremely happy and had seconds. We all loved it. Thank you. Will be ordering cakes from you going forward. This was a lovely quality cake, very fresh Loved it Delicious cake, moist and light. Topping and filling just right. Cake was fabulous, chose Red Velvet for our Ruby Wedding Anniversary and went down a treat. My partner isn’t a big cake fan so I wasn’t going to make the effort to bake so I ordered a smallred velvet cake (Man U colours!). The cake arrived on the allocated day and was well packaged. From the first slice, it was clear I’d made a big mistake ordering the small one. He loved it, as did I! I can see us ordering this again, and not for a birthday! Beautiful ❤️ Absolutely delicious, not too sweet and very moist 😋 Ordered this for my son's birthday as it's his favourite and it lived up to our expectations Lovely! Scrumptious. Absolutely fantastic really loved it Looked good and tasted great Would definitely use this company again. Cake was very good and delivery prompt as was ordered only 24 hours before birthday A typical red velvet sponge but still very enjoyable. Very moist and well within use by date. Looked good, tasted great, just the right amount of filling for me. Very tasty
