To help celebrate Squiggle’s 9th birthday recently, Bakerdays kindly sent us a letterbox cake. We were lucky enough to review one of these yummy cakes previously too, which you can read about here.
Since then though, there have been lots of developments over at Bakerdays! Their website has had a facelift; now even more user- friendly and is looking great, with new designs and more products being added.
The cake arrived well packaged and in perfect condition, same as last time. There isn’t excess packaging or too much plastic either, which I am happy about. There were also thoughtful finishing touches in the box, such as the party blower, some balloons and a little card. I also like the card that says who packed it too.
I chose this rabbit design after specifically searching the website for the word ‘bunny’ because Squiggle had a pet theme this year for her birthday. I then personalised the writing. Last time I ordered dairy free but I decided to order the regular vanilla sponge on this occasion, just to compare. (Generally we opt to eat as close to vegan as possible but aren’t strict about it!)
Squiggle was really excited that a cake arrived through the letterbox for her! She was very pleased with the design too…
We took the cake outside for a garden picnic and Squiggle had the honour of cutting her cake…
Squiggle also got to have first taste too as the birthday girl…

Her verdict was “Mmmm… it is YUMMY!”
I enjoyed it too, it was tasty and good quality. I do recall the dairy free one we had previously tasted more buttery (in a good way!) than this one, and it seemed to lack a filling, but it was yummy nonetheless!
The letterbox cake is plenty big enough for 3 people to have a very generous sized slice or two, and stays fresh for a reasonable amount of time too. It definitely makes a lovely novelty gift or surprise for someone!
Bakerdays are kindly giving away a letterbox cake to one lucky reader! Enter via the rafflecopter below.
Open to UK residents only. Competition closes 14th June 2017. Other T&Cs apply.
*Disclosure: Bakerdays sent us the letterbox cake for the purpose of review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
