Keep Calm One Frazzled Mum Has Cake – Bakerdays Review
I need to tell you a story. A story about a girl we shall call Stacey*. Stacey loves cake. In fact, Stacey loved pretty much anything sweet. Chocolate, cakes, Haribo. The more sugar, the better as far as she was concerned. Nothing was safe from Stacey not even her daughters treats, oh no! Her daughter would often come home to find her mum had scoffed any chocolate, sweets; crisps left lying around on her treat shelf. This made her very sad indeed.
But one thing she didn’t mind her mum eating was cake.
Except for chocolate, she loved chocolate cake but didn’t like icing, or cream or jam or anything exciting on her cakes at all. She loves plain Victoria sponge and good old chocolate cake with chocolate covering or filling or decorations. But everything else was a complete no-no.
Now for a long time, Stacey had been coveting these lovely little letterbox cakes she had been seeing bloggers share upon doing a Bakerdays review. Oh, they looked so delicious, and all the bloggers seemed to love them. I mean, who wouldn’t love a cake to drop through their letterbox? Well, except her daughter, but to be fair, her eating habits were a bit odd, to say the least!
These little letterbox cakes were made by a company called Bakerdays.
Bakerdays cakes came in all different shapes and sizes, but by far the best thing was their letterbox cake Stacey thought. Perfect size for one, because Stacey absolutely does not share cake at all. No trekking up to the post office with a little red card to retrieve the cake. Posted first class in a box right through your letterbox. BEST.POST.EVER!
According to their site, it comes securely packaged to ensure the cake reaches you in tip-top condition. Oh, How Stacey wanted to try one of these. Hints were dropped but never picked up, and Stacey remained letterbox cakeless.
But then something amazing happened. Whilst away on a wet and windy caravan holiday to the exotic Bridgend in South Wales Stacey received a tweet.
Would you like to try one of our letterbox cakes and write us a Bakerdays review??
Would she ever! What a silly question. But she didn’t want to seem too eager. No, no that wouldn’t do at all. Stacey waited around 55 seconds before replying (ok so it was more like 10 minutes but I’m trying to build drama and excitement here) It was safe to say Stacey squealed with excitement. The giddiness cost her an extra £10 in the arcades due to focusing on securing the cake of her dreams and not listening to her daughter sneakily throwing pound coins into the grabber machines! Rookie mistake.
As a nice, caring mum, Stacey attempted to search the Bakerdays site for a suitable cake that would please both herself and her uber fussy daughter. It wasn’t easy for Stacey; there was so much to choose from. Cakes for birthdays, anniversaries, starting school, or even an I’m sorry cake. What to pick, she was so confused. There were even different flavours of cake too. Should she go plain, chocolate, fruit OMG!
Stacey began to think the cake people were teasing her now with all these different options with too many choices. Plain, picture and caption. What would she have written on it and would the girl even touch it in the first place? Stacey opted first for a chocolate swirl cake. Thinking the ‘chocolate’ part would fool Lil miss fussy pants. Stacey forgot she could now read perfectly well over her shoulder, informing her that she wouldn’t even think about it!
It was, in fact, icing. So it was back to the drawing board. Rubbing her hands with glee at the thought of not having to share this 5-inch mouthwatering cake with anyone the choice suddenly became a whole lot easier. Except for the personalisation, which you can do, you know. With words or a picture, the choice is yours. Finally, Stacey made her choice, and all was well in the world.
That was until the cake turned up and blew Stacey’s mind!
The End.
My Bakerdays Review of Their Famous Letterbox Cake
OK, so I am actually Stacey, who would have guessed 😉 and in case you haven’t seen on my Twitter or my Instagram, I was over the moon with my cake. Not being very imaginative I opted for my cake to say “Keep Calm One Frazzled Mum Has Cake” But what I didn’t expect was for them to actually use the font of my logo on my blog homepage! This excited me more than anything else, and for once in my life, it actually pained me to cut into a cake! A good start to my Bakerdays review!
The annoyance over having to do this, however, was lost on my first mouthful. I mean I can’t review a cake without eating it, can I. No matter how much I want to frame it forever because, it’s so damn cute. But try it, I did. First one piece to see if I liked it. Then, of course, another to make sure I did like it! There was a layer of buttercream on the bottom of the cake, which gave me a little bit of extra moisture to the cake itself. I didn’t even find the icing too sickly sweet either. I really enjoyed it icing, and all and I’m so happy there is no sharing involved!
Was it Worth The Wait To Do A Bakerdays Review?
As you can see from the pictures, the icing isn’t really too thick, and you get a good piece of cake underneath it. Soft and not dry. The cake is delicious, so not only does it look good, but it tastes good too. If you can even call it that, my only issue was that it wasn’t centred on the board right in the middle. But this is just a superficial observation more than anything.
A few days after choosing my cake, it was prepared and posted as promised. It was securely packaged in a cute little tin inside a little white box. You even get a card, candles, balloons and one of those blowers. Olivia had that immediately!
Now to fit through your letterbox, you have to remember that this cake has to be small. It is 5 inches and definitely has the novelty factor about it. But for £14.99 you get to surprise someone with a lovely little cake through their (or yours, treat yourself) letterbox for a great alternative to well, pretty much most things that come through the letterbox.
