Why would you put an air freshener in with food!

Air freshener in with the dog food for me a big no no, made everything smell off. The cheesy popcorn that is usually very pungent in it's cheese aroma just smells like the air freshener. Also please update your website to separate the hen popcorn out of the section labelled pupcorn, garlic is poisonous to dogs and is just not worth the risk.

Dog loved the cake but the presentation…

Dog loved the cake but the presentation of the new packing isnt to be desired, the box arrived all bashed up the cakes no longer fitted in the box, nor did it close. As a new customer to Barking Bakery to be honest I really wasn't impressed, sustainable packaging or not. They offered a 20% but I would rather unsmashed up packaging as I didn't need to order anymore cakes. As a gift to our dog it wasn't very good and embarrassing taking this bashed up box to her birthday party! I felt it didn't show a great representation of Barking Bakery

When good perfect but too many are dry

I used to get the cakes but 3 in a row were really dry. Switched to donuts and cupcakes but mixed bag this time. Large carob cupcake was perfect, little cupcakes slightly dry, doughnuts so so. Decided it's just so hit and miss so won't order again regrettably.

we’re really sorry to hear that some of your recent bakes haven’t been as consistent as they should be. We always want every treat to be enjoyed to the fullest, so it’s disappointing to know we’ve let you down. We truly appreciate you giving us several tries, and we’ll make sure to pass this on to our bakers so we can improve. If you ever do decide to give us another chance in the future, we’d love to make it up to you.
