Best Carrot cake I have ever tasted.
Delivery was quick, on time and the driver was very friendly.
Packaging was AMAZING and the cake was perfectly safe and looked sensational.
But the taste... WOW. This was the best carrot cake I, and my wife who is a BIG fan of carrot cake, have ever tasted. Moist, rich flavour, not too much icing (which is often the case with many cakes). They deserve the awards.

Delicious carrot cake
I was given the carrot cake as a gift and it was the best carrot cake I’ve eaten in a long time! Beautifully packaged too.

Birthday gift
I saw this advertised and thought a great idea to send to my son for his birthday! I ordered the triple chocolate one and I also bought a rose gold tin! Absolutely amazing and delivered very securely great result! Cake was delicious also and I will be using these again! Thank you

Extraordinary!
Extraordinary! The best vegan cake ever, by far! My daughter and friends (for whom this was a special treat) cannot get enough. You are an exemplary company with excellent customer service and we will miss you greatly when we move overseas!

The champagne strawberry cake was nice…
The champagne strawberry cake was nice but I found the sponge a bit dry! Lovely icing decoration but will stick with the carrot cake next time!

Hi Helen,
Thank you for taking the time to review The Gift of Cake.
We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with the sponge. Can I ask if you ate the cake when it was cold? Was it stored in the fridge? This will dry the sponge out. We recommend that all our cakes are eated at room temperature.
We hope this experience hasn't deterred you from trying more of the range and hope to see you back one day soon.
Warm regards,
Ellie
My daughter said the cake was YUMMY and…
My daughter said the cake was YUMMY and all was fine with delivery. Three of her housemates are vegan and rated the vegan pistachio cake very highly. Thanks

Wonderful cake
According to my daughter, the cake was wonderful. I have taken 1 star off as I had paid for a morning delivery and it arrived late afternoon. Probably only due to weather and driving conditions, so not their fault.

Full marks for an excellent cake experience!
This was a most unexpected but very welcome gift from my step-daughter. The cake arrived well packaged, in an attractive tin, with all the accoutrements for a birthday celebration.
I thought it was simply a chocolate fudge cake, which frankly I always find rather over sweet and sickly. However, to my surprise, the cake clearly had a high cocoa content and was decidedly the right side of tasty rather than sugary.
My birthday being very close to Christmas, with all the excess of rich food entailed, it took four days to finish the cake. I was most impressed with the way it kept its flavour without going dry or otherwise stale. Full marks!

My sister asked what I would really…
My sister asked what I would really like for christmas, this carrot cake arrived the day before christmas eve, it was exceptional in every way, probably the best carrot cake I have ever tasted, the more so because I thought it was a throw away comment, when it turned out to be the best present I could have asked for,
I actually waited until 12:10 on the 25th to try it
