While I don’t have a sweet tooth, I can never say no to cake.
When someone offers you cake, you say, “Yes please” and “Thank you”.
This would actually make a lovely Father’s Day present.
It was my husband’s birthday last Saturday. When Baker Days asked if we’d like a sample of their cake, we of course, said, “yes please”. In case you didn’t know, it’s part of “Life’s Rules to Happiness: Thou shall not say no to cake, ever.”
I wasn’t expecting the cake to arrive on his birthday though, especially since I sent our details late Thursday night. Had I known I would’ve had the cake personalised more, after all, that’s what Baker Days cake are all about, personalised cakes you can design anyway you want it.
The letter box cake (as seen in the photos) is their latest addition to their designs. I think the idea is, it’s small enough to fit through your post-box, and it is. I know this because I tried to fit it through our letter-box. Our postie rang our doorbell though, he didn’t want to slide it through, probably worried that it was going to ruin whatever it was inside the box.
I chose the “Officially the best dad in the world”cake. I thought it was going to be a nice little present for T’s dad after his birthday. Imagine my surprised when it arrived on the day itself.
What we liked about the cake:
1. I like the idea that it fits through the letter box.
2. Impressively fast delivery.
3. The vanilla sponge cake with buttercream was delicious.
4. Even though we didn’t use this feature, I like the fact that you can personalise it, whether it’s your own design or a particular photo you want to use.
What we didn’t like about the cake:
1. I think it’s a little bit too pricey for the size of the cake. Would I order it myself? Probably not. The letterbox gift cake as seen above costs £14.99. It comes with two party balloons and two birthday candles which was a nice touch, I still think it’s too much though.
And as you can see, T can never say no to cake either.
Can you?
You can also follow Baker Days on FB and twitter.
Note: We were sent the cake for the purpose of this review, but opinions and words are by yours truly.
These are very tasty cakes…Perfect as a gift 🙂

I agree. A bit small though, but then again, the size is perfect to fit through a letterbox 🙂
I saw these on a recent blog post elsewhere and thought what a fab gift they would be. I mean, who doesn’t like cake??!

That’s exactly what I feel 😉
I can definitely get on board with your Yes to Cake rule for life! I loved the concept, it’s such a cute idea. Although it’s small, I think the price isn’t too bad when you factor in the delivery and the tin – I’m keeping it in mind as a gift for a few upcoming special occasions.

Oh yes, the tin! Little T is also keeping it for her small toys 🙂 x
We can’t say no to cake either! We reviewed a Baker Days letterbox cake and it was scrummy! Not what we expected 🙂 it would make a lovely surprise for Father’s Day!

That’s what I thought too, when I saw the cake 🙂
Weve had baker days before and i have to agree that price is a
bit much for the size of the cake. Otherwise the cake is lovely. We went for the chocolate one.

I can imagine the chocolate one tasted yum too! 🙂
For that price, they should send ice cream too.
You are so right 😉
Hurrah! Yes to cake! Always. That is essentially my motto in life and who can say no to cake when it looks this cute?
Precisely!
Such a cute cake which of course you can’t turn down a slice of. I’ve heard so much about the letterbox cakes theyr’e intriguing x

They’re alright 😉
I love the idea of it but it is too expensive and I wonder what it will be like if it has been posted through the letter box and dropped on the floor?x

Same here. I totally agree with you!
These seem great to send to friends and family if you can’t be there on their birthday.

Yes, it’s a lovely little present, a bit expensive though.
The fact you can get cake through a letterbox just thrills me x

Glad I’m not the only one 😉
I could never say no to cake either but like you I think it is very pricey! I like that you can personalize the cake though.

For the size, I really think it’s a bit pricey. Otherwise the idea is fab!
I have used Baker Days a couple of times and they are fabulous

I love the idea of a letterbox cake 🙂
This is a lovely idea. I know my girls would love a personalised cake!
And they have cute designs too.
We got one of these too. They are fab. Cake in the post. What’s not to love x
True 🙂
I would definitely never say no to cake 🙂 This is a very cool idea although I do agree it’s a little bit pricey – still though, it would be a lovely hassle free gift for someone and it’s great that it does actually fit through the letterbox!

I like the idea that it fits through the letterbox too 🙂
I had one of these sent to me last year and i’ve sent some onto other people as a surprise too. They are so small but oh so delicious! x

You’re right, they are small but delicious 🙂
We’d be stumped as we don’t have a letterbox. I did debate sending one of these to my friend for her birthday

I am loving that cake and I need to order this for my friends birthday soon
Anosa recently posted…{Fashion Monday} Keep your woolies
It will make a lovely present 🙂
I agree with you on the price, I’d much sooner bake my own cake or even buy a shop one and have some spare change to buy another treat too! Glad it tasted nice though and I hope your husband had a lovely birthday xx

He did, thanks. And though the cake was small, he still enjoyed it with our little girl 🙂
I’ve got the tea in one hand……so now I just really need a slice of that cake in the other. it looks DELICIOUS and really beautiful!!!
To be fair, the cake was delicious which is good, considering the price 😉
Its a really good idea. I can never say no to cake either lol I love to bake myself though and decorating is my favourite bit

We’ve tried Baker Days before and the cake is so lovely. It’s great that it fits in the mailbox! 🙂
