Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Awful in every way!

Ordered cakes with a 12 week wait accepted. Waited 27 weeks and they were awful.
I put them in the bin. When i mentioned on his social media i wasn’t best pleased with the bakes i got blocked. Very disappointed with the customer service, wait time and product overall. There is a very questionable video of him on the internet of him being awfully inappropriate to minors. Not good!

Well I came across this on Facebook my local expose page. I had no idea this man was so uncouth. We visited his shop when it was open was a bit odd then as it opened late and the cakes were not that good so we never went back. I certainly wouldn’t recommend them or buy from them again. Very concerning behaviour . Check it out yourself .

Don't bother!!!

Was thinking of ordering but saw the 6 month wait, so had a look here for reviews. Changed my mind on his fb account I answered a comment " his cakes are worth the wait" my reply "Not according to Trustpilot" and ten seconds later I'm blocked from his page!! Just don't bother with him!! Have also seen a very disturbing video of him drunk, talking to kids in a disgusting way!! A vile man!!!

Ordered a mystery box for the kids

Ordered a mystery box for the kids. The only mystery surrounding these cakes is where the frit it is. No customer service, no updates. After seeing recent controversies online too I certainly won’t be re-ordering

Shocking 6 month wait for substandard cakes.
Absolutely should not be taking people’s money and making them wait this long for a few cookies or cakes.
Don’t order- if you have get a refund or a charge back.

He needs to take orders that he can’t fulfill in order to maintain his lifestyle.
Plenty of other people who can give you a better service and product.

Aware of the long wait but when our cakes arrived they were squashed into the plastic wrap, looked unappetising and tasted worse than average.
Over priced rubbish. Lots of lovely cake sheds that have amazing cakes alot cheaper. Not good value

Our first mystery box

I placed my order in September 2025 and, yes, the wait was long, but that was part of the fun. Mystery cakes arriving on a mystery day? We were fully on board.

Unfortunately, the delivery didn’t quite go to plan. It was marked as delivered but never showed up. I emailed, and Nikita got back to me quickly and chased it up straight away. She was really helpful and clearly understood my disappointment (and my slight cake-related heartbreak).

I mentioned we’d probably order again in the future anyway, curiosity alone would see to that - but instead, they sent out a replacement box at no extra charge, which was genuinely appreciated. Thank you, Terry and Nikita!

All I can say is we thoroughly enjoyed the cakes. So much so that we’ve decided it’s now a family treat, we’re planning a few random orders and turning it into a bi-monthly surprise.

Honestly, I don’t really understand the negative reviews. I ordered knowing there’d be a wait. Is it long? Yes. Slightly ridiculous? Also yes. But it’s a small operation - one man, one woman, running a business, raising a family, and somehow still posting out boxes of joy.

Keep doing what you’re doing… we’ll be back (impatiently waiting, but happily so).

I knew there was a wait but 6 months

I knew there was a wait but 6 months. Come on 6 months on 4 cakes. To be fair they were off good size. Wish they wasn’t tho. Very very very dry. You can tell instantly it’s cheap ingredients. The quality isn’t there at all. I jump on the bandwagon when I should have fallen of it. Won’t be buying again.
