I bought the advent calendar for myself this year, and I’m a little put down by it. On the website, it didn’t say which flavours were inside so, when I ordered and it arrived with a piece of paper stating the flavours, I actually don’t like a third of them. So that’s 8 days that I don’t get advent. Furthermore, I think the calendar was expensive for the actual size of the product. I feel like it looked bigger in pictures, on your website. Just generally sad about this :/read more

I only discovered The Cake Nest following a last minute search on the internet to get a cake, by post, for my mum-in-laws birthday. I ordered it in the hope that it would arrive in time, never believing that it would, but IT DID. We were delighted with the cake, as was Mum in law. The service was excellent; the cake was well packaged; looked lovely; and tasted as you expect home made cake to taste. It was all so EASY and met all of our needs, I will definitely be using again. Thankyou.read more

Royal Mail let Cake Nest down by holding on to my parcel in Manchester for a whole day so instead of 24 hour express delivery they took the standard time of 2-3 days. The parcel having been received by them on 19th but not delivered until the 21st. Royal Mail were unhelpful on this occasion when rung to request an explanation. However, Cake Box refunded by voucher code the difference in postage and will take up my complaint with Royal Mail. The 'Good' rating reflects the fact that Cake Nest were not responsible for the delay but were unable to deliver the item as promised. I shall be using them again but probably not paying the extra delivery cost.read more

I've ordered two boxes of normal cake balls an one of G&T cake balls from here. None of them were for me, I had ordered them as interesting, unique presents for various occasions, but I did get to taste them and they were delicious! The chocolate casing is very smooth and compliments the different cake flavours inside beautifully. The packaging is very reminiscent of a chocolate box which adds to the effect. The cakes arrived exactly on the day I specified which was appreciated for people's birthdays etc, and the email communication was exactly the right amount of information- I knew what I need to know and didn't feel spammed. Overall I couldn't ask for a single thing to be changed, my consumer experience was perfect. Thanks for the awesome product!read more

Such a bad experience. Said they didn't get our order via the website, didn't get notification from ebay(tho they got the money) and didn't get an email from me. Son's first birthday on his own, first birthday without a birthday cake - disaster. Ok, so we got a refund, but no compensation for the disappointment or upset (perhaps a small consolation cake by way of apology, in the interests of good customer relations?). Won't be using this company again, which is a shame because they seem to have been excellent for most people. Hope others do not have our experience.read more
