Absolutely gorgeous little bites. Perfect for watching the calories. My favourites were the birthday specials, or maybe the vanilla pearls, or could it be the victoria sponge bites? Then again...... See more

I love these tasty little pearls
I love these tasty little pearls. I am on GLP-1, lost 6 stone and these low cal are delightful and a treat. In fact, I have just today ordered several more.
Such a good idea when you fancy something but are watching your calories.

Thank you so much for your kind comments.
Don't bother buying
Saw this ad on Facebook and went to the site. It all looked really good and very yummy, so figured we'd try them out, me and the wife.
First things first. Despite the company listing weights and giving lots of pics for the items we were both rather disappointed by the size of the cakes. Easily one bite if you wanted to and for the price we expected much more. On price alone we won't be buying again now we see what you get for your cash.
Secondly, they were all oddly dry in the mouth, though when you pick them up the sponge feels moist enough so not sure how they managed that. All six flavours we ordered seemed to have an odd chemical taste to them, possibly from what they are made of as we have never tried this type of cake before. They also need way more flavour because that too is severely lacking.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise for any disappointment caused. Our products are typically 60% less fat, 40% less calories and 30% less sugar than other leading brands. We use ingredients from low-fat dairy and pure nut butters to fruits and veggies. A lot of time is spent on each recipe achieving the same naughtiness as full-fat alternatives but never compromising on taste – something we really pride ourselves on. All ingredients are fully listed on our site.
We opt to provide our bakes in the sizes/packs they are, to allow for portion control should this be of interest.
If you would like to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
We appreciate you giving us a try and taking the time to let us know your thoughts.

Did not like the flavour of any of the cakes ordered. Strange taste in all of them. I was shocked at the size of them for the price. The picture on Facebook made them look huge when they are tiny. I will not be ordering again.

Absolutely disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting.
I am sorry but I have to be honest here, I can cook cakes at home a million times better, with an actual soft consistency and not a hard shell around it with cardboard tasting cake inside. The frosting either has no taste or tastes bad. Wasted my money on this. Hope this review saves someone else the trouble. The packaging is cute and price is tempting for what goods you think you're getting all until you try it and instant regret. Now I can't even get a refund. Reminds me not to try with small food businesses sadly.

Lovely experience and nice treats
I ordered two treats for a friend of mine and she absolutely loved them, so much so that she just placed an order herself for 10 new desserts :)
The website is beautiful and the delivery very efficient. The only thing that could be improved would be sending a confirmation email as soon as a client places an order!
