A few days later, I received a plain white box in the post. What I found when I opened it was a brilliant surprise.
Isn't this a great selection of goodies to receive?!
A sweet little card informed me that my gifts were indeed from Baker Days, and it was accompanied by candles, balloons and a party horn. While all of this was lovely, there was the very important matter of cake which I wanted to address, fast.
And now moving on to what was in the tin....
I thought the 'Happy Halloween' pattern on the icing looked fab and of a very high quality, along with the message 'Enjoy this spooky treat!'
We tucked into the Halloween themed madeira cake pretty quickly. I would be telling a fib if I said it tasted like Mary Berry herself had baked it, but the sponge was perfectly good. You can pay a little bit extra for chocolate chip sponge cake, fruit cake, and gluten or dairy free sponge cake.
If you're a fan of Brightside cards (I think they're excellent), you'll be pleased to know Baker Days have collaborated with them to produce Brightside cakes, but that's not all: anniversary, thank you, get well soon, new home, retirement, driving test, good luck, new job, new baby... there's literally a cake for every single occasion.
My conclusions? I think these cakes are really FUN. Whilst I might not order one of these for Halloween, I will definitely be ordering some of the Baker Days birthday cakes, and I just love the photo upload cakes. Imagine sending one of these to your friends for them to open with a really funny, possibly unflattering pic of them spread across the icing... The fact that these cakes just slip through your letterbox is brilliant - mine arrived in absolutely perfect condition, and the expiry date on the cake is very good too. All in all, I'm a very happy consumer!
Baker Days' letterbox gift cakes are £14.99 each, available from www.bakerdays.com.
Great review. The cake looked delliccious! Its such a clever and cute idea. Not sure id like to pay £14.99 but it does look like you get your moneys worth.
