Hello Semhar,
We're so pleased to hear you're happy with your purchase. Thank you so much for your review 😊
Great service and products thank you
Great service and products thank you! The only thing is the boxes you send the items out for delivery in always arrive very dented, and starting to come apart. Luckily the postie managed to save one of the 1kg blocks of icing that was rolling around his van and leave it with my box this time. Maybe it’s because I order fondant, drums and cake boxes at the same time. It seems the fondant blocks just bang around the box and weaken the box and seals. This is just a constructive comment as your company is great 😊

Hello Lucy,
Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your order didn't arrive in time for your daughter's birthday.
We can see that your order was placed using our standard delivery service, which has an estimated delivery time of 3–5 working days. Unfortunately, there was a delay with the courier, and your parcel wasn't delivered until the sixth working day.
We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially for such an important occasion. We have passed your feedback on to the courier, as this delay fell below the level of service we expect.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Really fast delivery

The knife is great
The knife is great. I am leaving 1 star as you need to address your courier. He left a 14inch bladed knife on my doorstep for anyone to pick up !
I thought proof of age was required !!

Hello Valerie,
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you're happy with the knife, but we're very sorry to hear about your delivery experience.
We take age verification and responsible delivery very seriously, and what you've described is not the level of service we expect from our courier. We will raise this with the courier company to investigate why the parcel was left unattended rather than the appropriate delivery procedure being followed.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us address issues like this.

Easy to order, good value for money, very well packaged, and delivery was really quick
