Delicious! Breathed sigh of relief when it arrived.

The cake was tasty. Enjoyed by all with all different dietary requirements.
We ordered the following Green minecraft cake:

CAKE Size - 40 Serves | 7 Inch Diameter | 7–8 Inches Tall × 1

HAPPY BIRTHDAY plaque - HAPPY BIRTHDAY + NAME + SHAPE

We had 12 kids and about 5 adults, we had half a cake left to eat during the week which was great.

I would give this 5 stars because the cake was perfect, but only concern I had was that i ordered well in advance and a few days before the scheduled date of arrival I called The Cake People to check it was still to be delivered as planned, and was greeted by an automated voice mail. I left the reason for the call (please confirm you are on track to deliver by [scheduled date], and nobody called me back.
Thankfully the cake arrived as planned and I breathed a sigh of relief!

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback — we’re thrilled to hear that everyone enjoyed the Minecraft cake and that it catered beautifully to everyone’s dietary needs!

We completely understand your concern and really appreciate you sharing it. We’re a very small family-run business — just the two of us — and while we can’t always provide phone updates on every order, we always make sure every cake is delivered right on time, exactly as scheduled.

For future reference, we do have two phone numbers listed on our website: one is our direct line, which is answered during working hours, and the other is a digital voicemail service we can access remotely when we’re away from the kitchen or on deliveries.

Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting us with your celebration — it truly means a lot to us!

Warm regards

The Cake looked beautiful and tasted…

The Cake looked beautiful and tasted delicious. All our guests loved it. The only thing was the topper was a bit broken when I took it out of the cello. Even though I was very careful. It was easily fixed with a bit of sticky tape.

We’re sorry to hear the topper was slightly damaged on arrival — we’ll review our packaging to make sure it’s better protected in future. We really appreciate you letting us know and for fixing it so easily.
