Absolutely delicious brownies

Absolutely delicious brownies. And we tasted a few different varieties (classic, salted caramel and peanut butter). Beautiful packaging, would make a lovely gift (if you’re so inclined to share…). We’ll definitely be ordering again.

Best brownie by far!!!!

For the last two weeks we have been nibbling our way through Exploding bakery's salted caramel gluten free brownie. It is hands down the best b*&%<÷y brownie we have ever tasted. Absolutely delicious!! Well done for mastering the craft of brownie baking 👏👏👏👏❤️

Web site stated next day delivery & as it was a Christmas gift we waited until a week before. You then informed us that there was an error with the web & the package was not delivered until 3rd January.
However I had good communication with your team.

I ordered the Christmas cake traybake for my coeliac friend & it was a total hit!
She bought me a piece to try & it was absolutely delicious, so moist & orangey & much lighter than the usual Christmas cake - I shall definitely be ordering again !

thanks for the joy!

Exploding Bakery is fantastic! I had a last minute birthday idea for my sister and wanted to send her a sweet treat even though I can't be with her to light the candles and share it. Letterbox brownie, next-day delivery and a little handwritten birthday card (that I made them write in Polish!) Exploding Bakery team you are doing a great job, thanks for the joy :)

Exploding With Flavour

I ordered a Gluten free Orange, Almond & Pecan traybake for my Brothers Birthday.
He is Gluten intolerant it can be hard to find good GF recipes or a good celebration cake in supermarkets.

Exploding Bakery did not disappoint, it was delicious, moist, had a great texture and everyone enjoyed it. It was well packaged arrived in good condition and on time on the day required.

I'm fortunate enough to live close to the business so have tried other cakes in the great cafe, they are all equally as good. Their coffee is great too, but probably wouldn't ship as well as the cake did.

I would give 6 stars if there was a option to pick up online orders in town. There is the option to pick it up in person from the warehouse if local which is good but I was unable to do that this time. Hopefully in town collection might available in the future.

Reply from Exploding Bakery

Hey Simon, thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review! And really glad to hear the Orange Polenta Cake was a hit!

About collections from the cafe - Although we share the name, the cafe is a different business and therefore they order their cake stock directly from us as we bake all our cakes here in Marsh Barton Bakery. That is why collections aren't available from the cafe. I hope that explains :)

Best wishes,
EB
