I recently bought a cake from here, and I’m honestly blown away! Being in a different country, I didn’t expect to find something this delicious. The sponge was incredibly soft and fresh, the fla... See more

Picture topper was damaged

Picture topper was damaged, and lady wouldn’t accept it , so I collected as it is . Because I already promised birthday boy that I’m coming with picture topper on it. 100% dissatisfaction.

Gross

I bought a cheesecake but it isn't a cheesecake at all. It's just overly whipped cream with a biscuit case. Absolutely appalling!

Please be assured that all our products are prepared following standard recipes and ingredients of highest quality, and this is not the experience we aim to provide

Wonderful cakes, very pleased 😀

We have now ordered two cakes for special occasions and both have been immaculate. We've tried both the victoria and chocolate bases and each are lovely. The cakes are very light and fresh and the buttercream is beautiful and creamy. Very light and silky. Both cakes have looked great, the skills of the decorators in the Crayford branch are fabulous and my daughter's cakes have always been pristine and ready in time. Will keep ordering from Crayford in the future.

Dear Tommy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your disappointment, especially given your expectations based on the appearance of the cakes. We regret that the taste and freshness did not meet the standard you were anticipating.

Please be assured that all our cakes are baked fresh daily and prepared following standardised processes. However, the experience you have described is not what we aim to deliver, and we take such concerns seriously.

We will be raising this matter with the Harlow Town Centre store to review and investigate further.

We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as your feedback helps us improve our products and service.

Warm regards,
Team Cake Box

A pineapple cake without pineapple

I bought pineapple cake through the website. Did not receive any email confirmation. Telephoned the store. Once, twice, three times. Every time a different person, more confused than the last, was trying to understand what I said and the line was always cut. I quit. Three to four hours later I did receive an email. However, when I went the next day to fetch my cake, and opened it at home (son’s birthday), I realised it was NOT a pineapple cake. It was just a Victorian sponge (ok, tasty), with cream on top (again, tasty), and no pineapple inside. On the top there were also four small pieces of fossilised pineapple, probably from a tin. An old tin. They were dry and tasted nothing.

Finger licking and delicious cakes

They prepare eggless cake and they are delicious perfect sweetness and the cream keeps the cake nice and moist. They remind us of our cakes from Mumbai. The best part is our daughter loves them and we introduced the cake to our non Indian friends and they love the cake and have bought cakes from cakebox too.

There was some marks on the icing

There was some marks on the icing, near the writing so very easy to spot. I had to ask for them to correct it, which they did but the end result was still of a messy appearance. Spending £70 on a cake should guarantee some level of quality. The taste was great fortunately, but still won’t come back to buy again.

The cake was excellent

The cake was excellent, delivery was on time and in excellent conditions and we could not be happier. If they could deliver earlier in the day they could save a headache for birthday parties that happen in the morning, but this is just a suggestion for improvement, not a complaint. Thank you for a lovely birthday cake!
