Fantastic cake!

Yes, I recommend this

My son loves dinosaur and fossils so this cake did not disappoint, he loved using the brush to find the hidden dinosaur bones which made it that extra bit exciting. The cake itself was so moist, full of flavour and there was plenty to share out. I would recommend to anyone!

Lovely dinosaur cake and delicious!

Yes, I recommend this

My little toddler loved his dinosaur fossil cake. The chocolate decorations were very good and the cake itself was delicious. We bought a much more expensive cake last year from a bespoke cake shop and it wasn't tasty at all. I am glad we had a look at M&S's cakes, we weren't disappointed.

Fab cake!

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this for a children’s birthday party and it went down well. Everyone loved the look of it, dusting the powder aside to find the fossils. The children all loved the rocks! The chocolate sponge was light and absolutely delicious. So delicious that my children beseeched me to order another for their Dad’s birthday.

An interactive birthday cake for the budding archaeologist. Comes complete with the tools to carry out the excavations. My 8 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it. The cake was moist and had lots of edible features. Well worth the money.

Delicious cake. Our 9 year old son said it was the best cake ever! I think it was the added fun of finding the dinosaur which gave it an extra sparkle!

Tasted nice but poorly put together

No, I don't recommend this

Tasted pretty good - no issues there. But it came with a little damage: side fence panel coming away from cake, some fence posts wonky that deformed the surrounding ganache, ‘Danger’ sign pushed over and the dinosaur was missing a limb. We raised with M&S who provided a little compensation but obviously having collected it to order, unless it’s smashed to bits, you have to use it as there’s no plan B! In our view, because of the random damage it was unlikely caused in transit (the box was also perfectly fine) but prior to being put in the box. It shouldn’t have been dispatched.

Delicious cake

We bought this cake for my dinosaur-mad son’s 5th birthday party. He loved finding the fossil and we all loved the cake. Sometimes kids birthday cakes are sickly sweet and cheap tasting but this was really lovely quality.

Fun and delicious

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this cake for my daughter who loves dinosaurs and doing excavations. She loved it. Cake is really delicious. It has a very thick layer of chocolate frosting on top which is delish but others might find a little bit sickly depending on preference. The chocolate cake itself is really lovely probably the best shop bought chocolate cake I’ve ever had.
