We all like a surprise, whether it is our birthday, or a just because, as it means someone is thinking of us. If like me you will also love to surprise your family and friends, which is why I love Bakerdays. Why don’t you Make Someones Day With Bakerdays.

Who are Bakerdays?
Bakerdays are situated right in the heart of Nottingham, and not far from where I was born. They deliver celebration and gift cakes to anywhere in the UK. Having developed a versatile colour and decorating process to make the cakes personal to the receiver. Which tastes homemade as if you made it yourself.
They offer a range of a great range of products including:-
- Letterbox Cakes
- Birthday Cakes
- Ocassion Cakes
- Cupcakes
- Balloons
- Brownies
They have a cake for every event and theme you can think of.
Letterbox Cake
I was sent a letterbox cake to review.
So, I decided to surprise C with a cake, she has been a complete star lately and deserved a treat. I could have chosen quite a few options but finally chose the cute blue cake.
Once you have chosen the design, you then get to choose your flavour of cake from
- Traditional Sponge
- Rich Chocolate Chip
- Gluten Wheat Free Sponge
- Dairy Free Sponge
- Lovely Lemon Drizzle
- Half Chocolate Half Sponge
- Vegan Sponge
It is great that they cater for all diets and allergies, I chose the Lovely Lemon Drizzle as we had been talking about making one a few days before.
My opinion
I knew exactly when the cake was arriving and had updates from the delivery company.
On opening I was presented with a lovely tin and card.
The top of the cake is protected with a covering and there is a tag to pull the cake out of the tin safely, without ruining it.
I chose a picture of C from my favourites and it transferred lovely onto the cake.
The cake was moist and tasted amazing, and definitely one to go for if you do prefer a lemon drizzle. The icing was lovely and soft and not too thick so did not overwhelm the flavour of the cake.
These are great for sending to a loved one, and they do taste great.
I am also able to offer you a 15% discount if you order from Bakerdays by adding code SM15 at the checkout.
