As you all know its my birthday today, now usually I wouldn't bother with a birthday cake But when Baker Days offered to send me a "letter box" cake to review, I of course jumped at the chance, after all who doesn't love cake? Not only that I had never heard of a "Letter box" cake before. What is it? The name gives it away that's right, its a cake small enough to fit through your "Letter box" I was quite quizzical at how the cake would make it through the post onto my door mat in one piece.
So yesterday morning when I got up a lovely little package dropped through onto my mat, excited to see what it was I opened it up and this is what was inside.
Now for the most important part, cutting and tasting, I choose the chocolate swirl sponge cake. It was delicious the cake was very moist, for a small cake it is certainly very big in flavor the chocolate wasn't to rich, I thought it was just right.
This cake says it for 2-3 people but I did manage to stretch it between 6 people, granted the pieces were not very big but it was enough, just right for a celebration.
The Letter Box cake is priced at £14.99, slightly more than I would pay for a cake but an excellent and perfect idea if you have friends that need cheering up, children that are away at university, or any other celebration that you want to make just that little bit more special and memorable. The cakes are very special unique and are definitely worth paying extra for.
Let me tell you a little bit about Baker Days,
So yesterday morning when I got up a lovely little package dropped through onto my mat, excited to see what it was I opened it up and this is what was inside.
A cute little cake tin (cake inside) three balloons a party blower and two candles perfect for a celebration.
This is the cake I choose, can you see all the fantastic intricate detail, the cakes can be personalised in any way you choose and with over 400 designs to choose from there is something for everyone.
It wouldn't be a birthday without lighting the candles singing "Happy birthday" and making a wish it looks great hard to believe it came through the letter box!
