Rachael works so hard to create amazing…

Rachael works so hard to create amazing vegan bakes. My family have just fallen onto the deep pan cookies and fought over them. The reindeer flapjack with the pretzel ears was very popular too. These are the only cakes that my family have unanimously loved.

Excellent cake

Rachael made a celebration cake and cupcakes for my birthday party and it was awesome. Everyone loved it and it tasted great too.
She advised me with size and flavours and nothing was too much trouble.
Can’t recommend enough

Best Vegan Baker by far

I always find a stockist of Short but Sweet cakes as without doubt they are the best vegan bakes and the selection is amazing. I regularly buy extra for family who are shocked that they are vegan as they also enjoy them so much. My absolute favourite baker 👍🏼

Perfect Vegan Experience!

Ordered a Vegan Victoria Sponge for my daughter’s 26th Birthday. It’s a 40min drive, but well worth it, couldn’t find anyone to make a vegan cake, but Rachael was recommended to me. I asked her to cover in vegan buttercream so my daughter could decorate it herself. Needless to say, there’s only a tiny bit left, it was delicious, you would never know it was vegan! Perfect, just what we wanted and excellent value …thanks Rachael 👌

Delicious allergy free bakes

Rachel your bakes are absolutely delicious! We can’t agree which were the best, the red velvet cupcakes or the NYC biscoff cookies. We will definitely be back for more allergy free bakes!

Delicious Chorley Cakes

Bought a box of Chorley Cakes from Rachael at 'Short But Sweet'. A real treat as they are very hard to come by.
They were absolutely delicious and I will definitely be buying more. Quick and easy to order and arrived on time following an E-mail from Rachael carefully packaged.
Thank you very much.

THE BEST cakes and bakes

THE BEST cakes and bakes, totally yummy! And the best thing is you can receive them by post anywhere in the UK. What a perfect treat (or you could get them sent direct to someone else so they could enjoy a treat on you!). Highly recommend!

Great cake & gluten free options too

I have had several taster boxes and bought cupcakes for a birthday gift - all delicious, beautifully presented and delivered with a smile.
Most recently Short but Sweet produced a wonderful 2 tier semi naked, gluten free wedding cake for my son & daughter in law.
The bride was delighted to have a choice of flavours and all gluten free.( not always an option if you need gluten free cake )
Short but Sweet responded quickly and was happy to discuss size and flavour options. Lovely cake and great customer service

What a sweet treat!

What a sweet treat! I have had several deliveries 🚚 from Rachel at Short But Sweet after being given a personal recommendation, myself and my son have a dairy allergy and find it so difficult to find a sweet treat. Wow 😮 what a flavour filled experience it always is, you cannot notice any difference, vegan or dairy free are fantastic and I can recommend to anyone and everyone. Service is 2nd to none, has always delivered on time and you are kept in the loop. Hope to get another sweet treat soon.

I would highly recommend Short but Sweet for any sweet treats or cakes whether you’re vegan or not. Rachael did my Birthday cake and nothing was too much trouble to get it right. The result tasted delicious and looked amazing!

Simply the best

Rachel is a fantastic vegan Baker, simply the best. She has made 2 birthday cakes for us and both were delicious, beautifully decorated and delivered. Her Easter treats are amazing especially the cream eggs. We are dairy intolerant and look forwards to ordering and her frequent visits to Parbol Artisan Market. You will not be disappointed and I have recommended Short but Sweet to the Plant Based Directory. 😊

100% Recommend Short But Sweet

Rachael has not only made us some wonderfully tasty treats on numerous occasions but she's always been flexible with my requirements. As my goodies always have to be mailed (I live too far to collect) Rachael always ensures they're well packaged. I would 100% recommend Short But Sweet, not only for tasty treats but also for her customer service.
