Being that I’m not a fan of fruit cake, Christmas cake is something I don’t usually get to enjoy, so I was so happy to try this brilliant Christmas cake from Baker Days as there is a range of cake types to choose from.
The real beauty of this cake is it comes by post, so you don’t have to wait in for delivery, or even worse, have to trail out in this horrible weather to collect it.
The Christmas cake comes in a choice of 51 (yes 51!) different designs ranging from traditional, to jokey, to some of your and your children’s favourite characters.
A
ll of the designs are available to be personalised and the personalisation is included in the price of the cake.
The cakes come in a range of sizes starting from 5″ going up to a huge 12″ so there will be a size to suit any size family. Prices start from only £14.99 and if you order before 2pm, they guarantee next day delivery.
You can choose from vanilla sponge (which I chose), chocolate chip sponge, fruit cake, gluten/wheat free and dairy free.
There is also a massive range of designs available for just about any occasion you can think of and you can even send them your own design.
My cake arrived on time as promised.
It comes in a sturdy box and inside the box is your cake in it’s own pretty tin that you could easily find a use for once the cake is gone, a gift card and a Christmas cracker, which I thought was a nice touch.
When you open your tin, the cake is wrapped inside of it and it comes with easy instructions to get it out of the tin without breaking it.
The design was perfect, exactly as it was in the picture on the website. I chose this gorgeous design, named Golden Christmas Tree because I think it is the perfect mix of traditional and quirky.
Now onto the main part. How did it taste?
It tasted fantastic! The icing was thick enough to be generous but not thick enough to be sickly. It was the perfect amount of sweet. The cake itself was beautifully flavoured and moist and fresh.
I would 100% recommend this company for a special occasion cake, or just as a little family treat.

I like how compact they are, really great as we live far from family so having a cake posted to them is a cute idea #KCACOLS
They would be ideal in your situation, a lovely way to let family know you are thinking of them on their special days 🙂
That’s a gorgeous cake! I think these are such a great idea x #KCACOLS
They are fab, would definitely make a lovely gift 🙂 x
Have tried their chocolate cake before and it’s so delicious. Great Review! #KCACOLS.
Yes, the vanilla sponge was lovely too! Chocolate next for me I think 🙂 Thank you x
It looks scrumptious and so pretty. I think it comes beautifully packaged too!xx #KCACOLS
Thank you 🙂 It really was delicious, tasted as good as it looked!
Making my mouth water, those cakes looks amazing and the packaging looks fabulous. I want one too!
It tasted every bit as good as it looked 🙂
This is a fabulous looking cake Debbie! I hope you liked it! 🙂 I love the containers that these cakes come in! They are so cute! i love that it came with a cracker! That’s pretty cool! – Angela
I loved it Angela, it was so good! Yes, I love the tin too, I’m thinking probably biscuits will live in it now. The cracker was a lovely little touch 🙂
The design on that cake is amazing, I love it. I reviewed a one of these cakes last year and was really impressed with them xx
Me too, they look and taste great and I will definitely be using this company again 🙂
You can’t beat a slice of cake can you? I’ve ordered from Baker Days before and I have to say I was really surprised with the quality of the cake. It was really moist and did not get damaged in the time. I also like that you can use the tin for something else when you are finished with the cake
Love a bit of cake with a cuppa 🙂 I was really pleased with the quality, I would definitely order from here, and yes, I love the little tin 🙂
I love the design on that cake. Very classy, and the tin’s really cut too.
The design is great isn’t it, says Christmas still but in a different way! I love the tin 🙂
I haven’t heard of these before but will definitely look at them and order one for Xmas…what a great company. #twinklytuesday
They were a lovely company to do business with. I hope you enjoy yours 🙂
I love the idea of a cake appearing through the letter box. It looks really pretty too and I can imagine it tasted good.
Imagine how happy it would make someone to send this as a surprise gift! It tasted really good 🙂
Great post on a lovely product. Can’t wait to check them out myself. I really like the choice in designs x
Thank you 🙂 There’s so many choices, the hardest part is choosing just one! x
We tried one of these last year, I do love the design you chose. #TwinklyTuesday
They’re lovely aren’t they! Thank you 🙂
What a fab service! It’s amazing you can get your cake next day. And the prices sound really reasonable x
I know, I was shocked at how quickly it comes! It’s really good value for money, especially when you consider the speed of the service x
How great are these cakes 🙂
Thanks for linking with #ShowcaseTuesday
I loved it, and a total bargain too! Thanks for hosting 🙂
I had one of these last year. Very yummy and I loved the concept of them fitting through a letterbox. Thanks for linking up to #SundayStars
They are delicious aren’t they! I really liked the novelty of them being posted too 🙂 Thanks for hosting.
I love cakes anyway but I do love baker days cakes. there is something special about getting a cake posted through your letterbox yum.
Definitely! It would be a lovely surprise gift 🙂
What a great idea! Thanks for linking up to #justanotherlinky xx
It’s fab! Thank you for hosting 🙂
What a brilliant idea this is! I love fruit cakes personally, but they take so long to make and cost so much once you’ve bought all of the ingredients! I love that there are so many designs to choose from and you can personalise it – I will definitely check this site out. Thanks so much for linking up with #KCACOLS. Hope to see you again this Sunday x
I think it works out cheaper to buy a fruit cake than to make one if you want it generously filled with fruit. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for hosting, see you there 🙂 x
Yummy love cake and these look fab. I have read about this company and think that it all looks superb.
#sundaystars
It was delicious, and they are a lovely company. Very professional and a pleasure to deal with 🙂
I love Christmas! And I love cake! This cake looks lovely. Both the quality of the cake itself and the artwork 🙂 #KCACOLS
It was really good quality and it tasted every bit as good as it looked! 🙂
I want one! Seriously– I’m drooling over here…lol! I love that Baker Days has a whole slew of designs from which to choose and add personalization. These little cakes would make such thoughtful gifts! #ChristmasCorner
Lol sorry 🙂 There were so many designs, I was like a kid in a sweet shop choosing one! Yes it would be so nice to receive a cake through the post as a gift!
Yours looks a little thicker than the one I had a while back- it was just a slice of icing haha! Great design though! x
Really Katy, that must have been quite disappointing then, icing without enough cake is kind of sickly! Thank you 🙂 x
You had me a cake in the post! What a fab idea. Good to know they taste as good as they look!
It’s a fab idea isn’t it! And yes, they taste lovely too 🙂
Oh looks good! I’m craving now for a vanilla cake! 🙂 #XmasCorner
It was delicious 🙂 And sorry lol!
What a festive cake! It’s so cute in the tin with the little cracker. They are a great company & a tasty cake. Lovely review & photos Debbie x
I love the tin and the little cracker was a lovely touch. They really were a pleasure to work with and their cake was delicious too. Thank you 🙂 x
This is such a good idea!! I am utterly useless at baking so it’s a great idea for me and they look delicious! I’m definitely going to be looking at getting one of these! xx #christmascorner
They taste every bit as good as they look!
Love that design! Love that they do non fruit cakes too, as I love icing (& marzipan) but I hate fruit cake. I have to hope for people who like fruit cake but hate icing to give me their icing at Christmas! #christmascorner
Oh that is me too, hoping someone won’t want their icing haha! I love that I’ve found a company who do non fruit cakes but still really Christmassy 🙂
I’ve been hearing a lot about these letterbox cakes, they are definitely perfect for a gift. It’s good to know the icing isn’t too overpowering as I find on a lot of cakes I get bored because the icing is just too much! #XmasCorner
Yes, I hate it when the cake is made sickly by too much icing, this one gets it just right!
So pretty #christmascorner
Thank you 🙂
Wow that almost looked too pretty to eat!
I know, I felt kind of bad cutting into it lol 🙂
