Great taste...

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely tasting cake bought for son's 5th birthday. It didn't dry out at all and everyone loved it. The leftovers kept really in Tupperware for a couple of days. It certainly wouldn't feed the amount advertised though (40 plus I think), mainly because it is really difficult to cut this cake. The chocolate coating is so thick that it cracks everywhere except where the knife goes! tastes great as long as you don't mind the mess when you've tried to cut it..

Special birthday cake

Yes, I recommend this

Overall the cake was lovely. The disappointment was when my husband went to tuck into the chocolate with the birthday message on, only to find that it wasn’t chocolate but in fact was chocolate icing! Very disappointing, especially for the money spent.

Colin Failed To Impress

Unfortunately the cake was not to your usual high standard and have emailed you twice with no response. The chocolate coating was solid and cracked when attempting to cut slices. It was for my husband’s 70th birthday and had to throw some away.

Very disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

The cake looked amazing Unfortunately that’s where the good bits ended Extremely dry hard to cut a slice without it dropping in crumbs and it was eaten on the day the order arrived in store

Extra Large Colin the Caterpillar

Yes, I recommend this

Extra Large Colin the Caterpillar - still hard to share! Great party cake especially with the extra bit for a birthday message adding that personal touch. As always a far superior cake than any of it's rivals, more chocolate than cake plus delicious smarties too.
