No more than OK

No, I don't recommend this

Not as good as M&S lemon drizzle cake! It was good sponge but my expectation was that it would be a version of the latter and it wasn’t. The cream was also OK but nothing more. It didn’t taste like the authentic lemon flavour of lemon drizzle cake.

A good well liked cake

Sweet, but nice for a summer birthday gathering. Put some strawberries on top to jazz it up a bit and everyone complimented how it tasted. Would buy again.

Bought for 70th birthday. Naked cake meant less sugar and left plenty of room to decorate how we wanted. With depth of cake gave 16 decent sized pieces and it tasted delicious.

Perfect Quality and Easy to Buy

Yes, I recommend this

Bought for my daughter’s Christening. It was really moist and delicious, it tasted extremely expensive and people were shocked when I told them it was a custom made cake. It was plain and simplistic which is exactly what I wanted. The lemon was just the right amount. It was super easy to collect and I didn’t have to stress about it not being ready like with an independent baker.
