I received a nice surprise in the post the other day, at first I thought what a strange thing to send to someone who bakes all the time, never buys shop cakes and would be highly critical of a cake that came in a tin!
Well you will be pleased to know that I was very impressed with the quality of this little cake in a tin and the contents that came in the little box with it put a massive smile on my face. You get some balloons, a party blower (not sure what they are really called), little candles and a card with a message of your choice. It really brightened my day.
What a great idea to send to friends and family that you can not give your homemade cakes to, perfect for a surprise to cheer some one up at their desk and such a good price that you could send one just to remind someone that you are thinking about them.
The company that provides this service are http://www.bakerdays.com/ and with prices starting at £14.99 they are not going to break the bank, this price is for the letterbox size one, perfect as no one has to be in to answer the door to the postman.
There are so many categories to choose from, Anniversary, Birthdays, Bon Voyage, Christening, Congratulations, Corporate, Driving Test, Engagement, Father’s Day, Get Well, Good Luck, Graduation & Exams, Halloween, Humour, Just to Say, Keep Calm & Carry On, Love & Friendship, Mother’s Day, New Baby, New Home, New Job, Retirement, Thank You, Thank You Teacher, Valentine’s Day and if none of those suit your occasion you can design your own and upload your own photo. How great that you can really personalise your cake.
My cake was a plain madeira sponge, it was light, moist, full of flavour and so pretty, I just loved it.
There are 6 flavours to choose from, madeira, carrot, lemon, fruit, double chocolate chip and even a gluten and wheat free one, which I thought was amazing.
So if you have a special occasion or just want to brighten someones day, why not send them a Baker Days cake in the post.
Buon appetito
