The Shire Bakery products are decent overall. Sprinkles have good quality and nice variety, but the colour options could improve. Delivery is speedy, and communication is fine. Food dye quality is good, though a bit pricey. A reliable option, but lacks standout features to distinguish it from other similar options.

Hello, and thank you so much for your review.
I cannot see any order we have ever had with yourself, however we take all feedback on board, and therefore request that you would be kind enough to email us at carly@theshirebakery.com with your order details.
We offer over 100 sprinkle mixes, and have a huge variety of colour options, but please do let us know what other options you would like to see, as we could always do with constructive feedback and take this on board.
We find our pricing for our food colouring is extremely competitive.
Many thanks for your feedback, and we do hope to hear back from you.

Monthly subscription
Hi, I currently get the monthly sprinkles subscription but I feel majority of them are pinks that are sent, maybe more greens, blues, neutral's, golds would be nice 😊
The sprinkles are excellent quality and great value 😊

Incredibly helpful staff!
Put together a lovely sale order and was thrilled to receive it. One item was missing from the box, but a quick email to the team had the situation rectified faster than you could shake a stick. I was really impressed with the speed of reply and help from customer service, as they must be inundated during the sale season, but as always, show real care and attention to eat customer. I do love these guys!

Sprinkles and so much more!
The Shire Bakery is THE best place for Sprinkles, Cake Toppers and so much more. If you are looking for vegan and/or gluten free sprinkles then this is the place to be.
The new range of hand dyed sprinkles are superb. And above all else the prices, quality and customer service are second to none. Highly recommend!

From the moment I opened the beautifully packaged box, I knew I was in for a treat. The high-quality tools included, such as the stainless steel mixing bowls and precision measuring cups, are not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing. I made my first batch of cookies, and they turned out perfectly golden brown with an amazing texture. The included recipe booklet offers a fantastic variety, catering to both beginners and seasoned bakers. Highly recommend!

Hi
Thank you so much for this review. This is unfortunately not our business; we sell cake sprinkles, and nothing with stainless steel bowls, measuring cups and recipe booklets.
That being said, this company seems worthy of a 5* review, whoever they are, and not.a 4*!

I ordered £8 white oil colour they never delivered and neither received any refund and the purple colour is not at all purple. Very very disappointed after with their sales and product

Hello, and thank yo for getting in touch.
I have just checked our emails, and there is no email from yourself that I can see. Please do email carly@theshirebakery.com and we will always respond to emails within 2 working days.
I can see that we refunded you on the 14th November, to your Mastercard ending 3166, at 14:08. An email was also sent to the email address provided to us when you checked out.
The reason the whitener was refunded was because this item was out of stock, and for some reason our system had down that one item was still remaining.
These colours are stocked by ourselves, however they are not our brand. We do always recommend a good shake to all oil colours, regardless of the brand before use, as the oil can separate and this mixes it up to ensure the correct colour.
Please do email us so we can discuss this.
Many thanks
