The cake was made and delivered as promised and as the image was made. Only reason for 4 stars is the poor communication and updates on delivery. When ordering a £250 cake for a party, the least you e... See more

Do not leave cake outside.

This cake was left outside. Would have appreciated if it was not delivered or given to neighbour. Left with no cake and mess to clean.

Birthday cake

Last minute buy for my Grandsons bday who is 11. The selection of ready made cakes was very good. I selected the chocolate vanilla cake. They put Happy Birthday on also. Prasanna was very helpful.

Incredible Service

I ordered a birthday cake on a Saturday (ie. busy weekend) and was able to receive it to my exact specifications on the same day! They went above and beyond contacting me directly to assist and ensuring everything was in place to satisfy my order and delivery. They have superlative customer service and their cake was delicious! I recommend them and would use them again.

Very Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and No Accountability

My personal experience with this company has been extremely disappointing. I ordered a birthday cake online and applied a discount code, which was accepted. I paid the discounted amount online and planned to collect the cake at 7:00 PM.

However, around 5:40 PM, I received a call saying there was a “computer glitch” on discount code and my order had been cancelled. They told me I would need to pay the remaining discounted amount to proceed. I agreed and said I would pay at the collection point. The person on the call said they would get back to me, but never did. When I went to the shop, there was no cake, no order nothing.
I tried contacting customer service multiple times called for nine days, messaged on WhatsApp for nine days, and still no proper response. This is the worst company I’ve dealt with. Their customer service is terrible. They don’t treat customers with respect or responsibility. I never received my cake or a refund, and I got no proper explanation or apology. Completely unacceptable.

I'm extremely disappointed with my birthday cake

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience with Cakes & Bakes The birthday cake I ordered and had delivered had a watery bottom, making it completely unfit for eating. To make matters worse, when I reached out to the shop about the issue, I was refused a refund.

This experience wasn't just a minor inconvenience - it actually spoiled my birthday celebration. I was really looking forward to enjoying that cake with my loved ones, and having it be inedible was a huge letdown.

Given the shop's generally positive reviews, this might be an isolated incident. However, it's essential to note that other customers have expressed concerns about inconsistent food quality. The lack of customer support in this case is particularly frustrating.

Key Points:

- *Cake Quality:* Watery bottom made the cake inedible
- *Service:* Refused to provide a refund despite the issue
- *Recommendation:* Potential customers should be aware of possible inconsistencies in food quality and the shop's refund policy.

If you're looking for alternative cake delivery options, consider these highly-rated services:
- Angel Cake Baker 4.7 stars 🌟
These options might offer better quality and customer support. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend Cakes & Bakes Shop based on my experience.

Amazing cakes . They do customs and i had a cake which i saw on online for my daughters birthday and if you give an order for next day it can happen . They dont charge you for changes on cakes and they can create your ideal idea of the cake you want .
