Look at what dropped through my post box today. I was very intrigued as I couldn't remember ordering anything and it was such a fab little box. Whatever could it be???
(I had a hard time convincing Todd that I hadn't ordered anything you know . . . he thinks I am a magician, as he says I am always turning money into things. Haha . . . NOT! Cheeky man!)
As soon as I opened it up, I remembered exactly what it was and I was happy to be able to tell Todd, it wasn't anything I had purchased . . . but a gift . . . a gift from a fabulously innovative company called Baker Days!
Cakes by post! Don't you just think it's a brilliant idea???? Fabulous really, but does it work???
Is it possible to send a perfectly, beautifully decorated cake through the post without it landing in your front hall all crushed, crumbled or otherwise worse for the wear???
Let's see . . .
Once opened . . . inside there is a fabulous little assortment . . . a lovely and sweet little tin, a gift card, some balloons to blow, a sweet little noisemaker and some candles . . . but . . . let's take a look at the cake . . .
Wowsa . . . what a pretty little cake!!! All nicely wrapped in a breathable cellophane packet . . . and totally personalized too! What a cute little letterbox sized cake!
Fabulous instructions on how to remove the cake safely from the tin, without totally destroying it. This always comes in handy . . . and they worked a gem. Before too long, this is what I was looking at . . .
How very pretty . . . bright and colourful too!! Perfectly petite . . . a personalized, exquisite, mini celebration cake, delivered safely through my letter box and in perfect condition too.
There are over 300 designs to choose from, all of which you can personalize with a few special words or photos, available in 14 different categories . . . from Birthdays to Anniversaries, Graduations to Retirements . . . there is something for just about anyone!
Letterbox sized cakes (3 to 4 portions) are available in no less than 6 flavours, starting at £14.99, including Carrot, Lemon, Fruit, Plain Madiera, Double Chocolate Chip and a gluten and wheat free version. (You can also get medium sized ones, serving 8 to 16 portions, depending on how much of a piggie you are . . . these come in the same flavours and start at £26.99)
I chose the carrot cake, because that is one of both Todd's and my favourites . . . and clearly the cake is for the both of us . . . ahem . . .
But do they taste good??? Let's see . . .
It certainly looks good doesn't it?? It cuts perfectly too . . . and appears to be moist and not dry in the least . . . but as anyone knows . . . the proof of the pudding is in the eating . . .
It's a tough job . . . you know . . . but somebody's got to do it . . .
You can never call me a shirker . . . I'm always willing to volunteer for any duty . . . especially if cake and tasting cakes is involved!!
Mmmm . . . delicious . . . I so loved this carrot cake. Normally store bought cakes can be such a disappointment . . . this one is fabulously delish! Moist and well flavoured, but of course . . .
Baker Days uses only the finest ingredients . . . and it shows.
Now . . . this isn't something I would buy for someone that lives locally, I hasten to say . . . I would just bake my own cake for them, but . . . if you are wanting to do something special for someone who lives a distance away, this is the perfect gift to give!
If the delight I felt from opening it is anything to go by . . . anyone you send one of these too will be outright chuffed to receive one!!
A surprise that easily fits through the mail box! Six delicious flavours!! A design and sentiment, easily personalized and able to fit every occasion!!! Competent and timely delivery!!!! Affordable price!!!!! What more could you want??
I give Baker Days a hearty five stars out of five stars!
I think all of their designs are perfectly delightful! I wish I could send one out to each of you, just so you could see how fabulous these cakes really are!
