Not worth the money
Not worth the money . First of all ; when I ordered it was Sunday and was giving me an option of delivery before 1pm . I pay 6.75£ for delivery mind you it was in the morning around 10am as this was a surprise for my sister in law that couldn’t celebrate her birthday because my nephew was ill . Sunday goes by , Monday afternoon still nothing, I decide to contact customer service that tells me “oh sorry we don’t operate on Sundays “ well , then you should update your website that doesn’t specify anywhere that you don’t operate on Sundays . She issued a refund only for the special delivery (normal delivery is 4£) and the parcel gets delivered on Tuesday afternoon . The box had a picture on top that I selected but it was printed wrongly or damaged because there was a line in the middle . I’ve picked 4 different flavours for the cake but “they all tasted the same , just sweet “ said my sister in law . Which is disappointing considering the price . So not only the surprise was ruined (your whole brand is about cheering ppl up ) but the product was unsatisfactory. Thanks for nothing I guess , with the same money I would have ordered a fresh small cake to be delivered at her door .

Hey Francesca,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry that your experience fell short, especially as you wanted to surprise your sister-in-law on her birthday. We understand how disappointing this must have been, from the delivery delay to the printing issue and the cake not meeting expectations.
We’ve reached out to you via Trustpilot to request a little more information so we can look into this further and work towards a suitable solution.
Kind Regards,

Lil Sis
I ordered this for my youngest sister for her birthday. She lost her husband last year so I wanted something special that would put a smile on her face. Enough cake for her and her 2 daughters. She loved it.
I forgot to say it was from me but in true Miss Marple style She deduced who sent it as I'm the only one who calls her lil sis.😀
Thank you Mail Bake another family success. x

Second time using your company
Second time using your company , they were delighted with their gift, as were the first friends I sent one to the first time.
I only have one complaint that I did not get to taste how delicious the cakes were that they received. Excellent service once again, highly recommend.
I am going to have to treat myself to sample how good they are.

Nice idea and card is good - cake not so!
Nice idea and card is good. Really disappointed with the cake. It was highly processed and quite dry. I wondered if this would be the case. I will not be using this for gifts again
