The man is a con artist

I haven't actually ordered anything from what Terry calls Terry bakes.
And I never will. He's takes people's money for mystery boxes, I think the mystery is whether the people who has brought them will ever receive their goods?
His business is called Terry bakes but he never actually bakes.once a month maybe.
He's too busy spending money from people that have orded
Surely taking peoples money but not making effort to deliver the goods is fraud!!
He states quite happily that he's on September 2025 I mean we are nearly at the end of march 2026
The man is vile, he swears all the time and when you see his video's you can see spit coming from his mouth,yes I know he has a lisp, but he could wear a face mask he hardly wears
gloves when handling and decorating various items items, he makes drip cakes to headbut. While people are waiting 6 months for their order's. Using money thats not actually his because he hasn't earned it yet
This is not how to run a business!!

Please find another local cake business that will deliver what they say they will
Avoid Terry bakes

I followed Terry from the start

I followed Terry from the start, brought his mystery box on a 12 week wait as he said when they arrived they are average at best.

I have continued to follow Terry but then found Doughgirl who also bakes and wow these are proper bakes and cheaper than Terry and you do not wait 6months, but guess what he has since blocked me as well for promoting Doughgirl i assume, yetbif he ran his business like Doughgirl for instance then he wouldn’t have the reviews he has now.

He says thats how you run a business, well i run a business and i do not get paid until i have completed the job and the customer is happy, i do not say pay me now and in 6 months i will do your job, and then go out shopping, eating out and going on holidays, he is simply a fraud and social media should do something about it.

Mystery box awful 😖

I ordered a mystery box from Terry Bakes. Waited ages and the cakes were awful. Cheap, dry and just amateurish. This is NOT a professional trained baker. He and his wife are rude and insulting if you dare to complain about the lack of quality or the wait time. Really horrible experience all round.

NOT worth the wait.

Ordered when the wait was UPTO 12 weeks but waited way longer. Never had an update from the company. Cakes definitely NOT worth the wait. Even my children didnt like them. Very poorly packaged aswell. Commented my experience on a socail media post as no where to leave a review (until finding here).. my comments got deleted and I now cant find their social media any more. Find this super strange behaviour since am a paying customer. Prior to this i also seen a few customers get rude reply from them and one man got his order refunded after asking how long the wait was. I feel conned out of my money and highly DO NOT recommend. Wish I could give no stars...

Fell for the hype last year...

Fell for the hype last year.... ordered in August and received in January.

Cakes weren't the nicest at all, my 7 year old didn't even like them which is saying something.

Cookie pie crust was dry, sponge cake was mediocre at best and the other 2, the brownie wasn't even a brownie and can't remember the last one.

This is the only place you will get genuine reviews, for the past couple months I've gotten more and mroe frustrated as his true self comes to light. What was once considered possibly funny is now embarrassing for him.

Language is appalling, his efforts are shocking and the wait keeps increasing.

Please avoid and spend your money elsewhere!

6 months wait for 4 cakes that when they arrived were of substandard quality.. Cheapest ingredients used, portion sizes small and if anything is said online him and his Mrs give abuse and block. Thier block lost is actually probably now bigger than their followers. They seem to spend less and less time baking and more time creating content about shopping hauls and meals out, spending customers money without fulfilling orders. No cake company takes 6 months to deliver, he might have told people there was a wait, but didn't think they were expecting 6 month and some.. Keeps on taking orders even though so behind. Watch his videos he seems to prefer spending his time baking drip cakes, for which he then goes on to headbutt.. Absolute disgrace of a man. And his wife no better.

Honestly biggest disappointment going

Honestly biggest disappointment going. I stupidly gave into the hype, ignored the reviews because “surely if there’s that long a wait he must be doing something right” no no. The wait was 12 weeks, it went over that. What I received were 3 sweaty cakes/cookie pie things in sandwich bags. School cake undercooked and wet, cookie pie products were stale and tasteless. He may have months of orders but I can bet they aren’t repeat customers, they’re probably people like me who have given into the hype and will be extremely dissapointed. Appearance, taste, delivery and customer service are all appalling,buttered really is no redeeming quality. Go to your local baker, have a look online and the thousands of amazing bakers available because Terry Bakes is a flop.

Waited 14 weeks for the delivery

Waited 14 weeks for the delivery. The old school cake was undercooked but also didn’t taste good at all. So binned it.

The cookie was just bang average nothing special

£25 for 4 cakes is too much for what I received. Won’t order again.

More interested in baking and headbutting cakes than actually getting orders out. I’d give him a wider birth than the tiny cakes he’s baking in a calzone box for a fiver each. Dare to question it and you are immediately blocked.

Avoid.

Warning: Do not order from this baker. Despite initial promises of a 12-week wait, delivery times have stretched to over 6 months with no clear resolution. Quality has suffered, with reports of cheap ingredients making products taste synthetic. Cookie pies have minimal cookie dough, and cakes are dry.

The baker appears more focused on social media and lifestyle than fulfilling orders. Orders remain open despite long delays, potentially sustaining an unsustainable lifestyle funded by customers' money. Extensive social media posts showcase luxurious spending on holidays, dining, clothes, and gadgets, contrasting sharply with poor customer service and product quality.

Concerningly, comments about wait times and food quality seem to be deleted from his social media. Hygiene standards also raise concerns - products appear poorly handled.

Customers asking about their place in the queue are met with rude responses, and there's even suggestions of poor handling practices.

Given these issues, it's best to avoid this baker. Sharing this aims to inform others.

Do not order off this company

Do not order off this company.
Read reviews before doing so. On his website its has gone from a 12 week wait once ordered and paid for to 6 months +
And let me tell you his cakes are certainly not worth the wait.
Cheap ingredients used so taste very synthetic, the cookie pies have the thinnest of layer of cookie dough on them and his sprinkle sponge cake was so dry.
Looks like Terry is more interested in becoming a social media personality rather than getting on with baking and fulfilling the back log of orders. Keeps his orders open so he And his wife can maintain a certain lifestyle in a not so honest way. Holidays, trips away, eating out all the time, expensive clothes and gadgets. I’ve seen it all over his social platforms. Oh yes not forgetting his go fund me and begging. The guy is something else.

Scammers through and through

Please please do not order from this company.
No customer consideration at all.
Abuses customers consistently!

Deletes any negativity from social media.

Six months wait on cakes but still keeps orders open as he hasn’t the cash flow to fulfill old orders as all has been spent. New orders are paying for historic orders. He should be a character in Aladdin, ‘new orders for old’.

He is head butting cakes he is making instead of fulfilling orders.

Terry Pegler and wife are taking everyone for fools.
A bad foot is on the cards soon and then a holiday!

Wise up sheep!

Fantastic bakes..Best sprinkles sponge ever!

I ordered my box in September and my cakes arrived in February. I knew there would be a wait as Terry is always open and honest about that.

I was so impressed with the order. The range of cakes were amazing. The School Sprinkle cake was the BEST I have ever tasted! The portion sizes were big and we split them all between 4 and had them in 2 sittings as there we couldn't finish it all.

The Biscoff and white chocolate cookie pie was my favourite, we also had gold bar brownie, it was all so delicious. The cookie we got was kinder, my boys thought that was there favourite.

Late in leaving a review, but thought I definitely need to after reading so many negative comments. The comments differ so much from my experience, so it really makes me think these are false reviews. Such a shame as people should be behind independent businesses and not trying to destroy people due to jealousy.

Delicious

Recieved order.
Tasted 3/4 Of the bakes but only because 1 of them is biscoff and I'm not a fan so cant comment on that

Cakes I taste tested were absolutely delicious! Recommend highly

Only downside is the wait time but I suppose us customers are aware of this when we order!
