I have been on Yelp for 18 months and this is the first time i have felt it necessary to review a…read morebusiness. Bernadett and Richard have worked as pastry chefs in some pretty swanky places in London and it really shows in the quality of their product (i consider myself a bit of a foodie). One of the few things i found good about being dragged round wedding fairs for months was the guaranteed cake tastings available there; there were some incredible looking cakes that i saw but as soon as my wife and I went to Bernadett's studio, attached to her house, and picked up the first of several slices of cake i knew we would be ordering from them (the fact that they have made hundreds, if not thousands, of cakes over the years compared to a large number of those who have started in this business from being a hobby really did show). As my wife's family were all flying in from Germany we hired our venue for four days and then booked them into nearby hotels afterwards to make a fully week of it, consequently we decided to order a cake that would feed double the number of guests actually there on the wedding day (to ensure that we had tea and cake available in the following week). Bernadett made us a four tier buttercream cake in the German style; much less sweet than a British (actually French patisserie) style cake so there was much less guilt at scoffing it for days afterwards. We had chocolate orange, lemon, vanilla with strawberry and coffee and walnut as the tiers, all were amazingly moist, incredibly tasty and the cake was good for the whole week that it lasted. Having previously looked on the website and seen that they had won a national award for the North East's best wedding cake designer the previous year and were nominated this year (which they now appear to have won again), i was a little scared about the price but pleasantly surprised when it came in at the same as the other people that we had spoken with. Organising our wedding was incredibly stressful at times and the main reason, apart from the product being so good, that i am writing this review is that Dreamworld cakes were hands down the most professional and easy people we dealt with out of any of our suppliers; all communication was promptly and clearly answered and any follow ups from their end, e.g. confirmation of flavours, occurred exactly when we were told it would be (there was NO chasing at any point from our end). Bernadett was the first person on site on the wedding day, even prior to the venue staff, not leaving until full verbal and written instructions had been given, including when to bring the cake out from the chilled room (to ensure the buttercream came to the best temperature for flavour) and when to add the fruit decoration (to ensure it did not start macerating and then leaking juice on the cake);. If all our suppliers to our wedding had been like this it would have been much less stressful and a breeze to organise. NB they also did really reasonably priced and cute wedding favours but we had already organised others so did not order them. The positives: * Incredible product - it really was an amazing tasting cake (by far the best out of many we tried) * Very professional to deal with no having to chase them at any stage * Really good value when i compare the end product with the other numerous tastings we did (and we did a lot of them due to the high number of cake makers at wedding fairs) The negatives: * The website is really pretty and easy to navigate but for the fact that it has extremely low contrast, i have good eyesight and i find it hard to read the text (it should be an easy fix though and doesn't effect the taste) * It is months until my birthday and i cannot find an excuse to order another cake yet!

God knows for what she never gets thing right? And she never understands your order very clearly she often gives you the pen and paper As if she is pushing you to go out as quickly as possible. Also the Dubai chocolate cake which was there on display wasn't that appetising. It just had a few chocolate pieces and pistachio on the top and it doesn't even look like to buy chocolate. It looks like a scam version of it so try Rose velvet and mango pastry if you want to give yourself a treat!

Their vegan beetroot cake was moist and wonderful, and had me searching the internet in vain for a recipe to try to replicate it. I should really just buy it from Sugar Down and not bother trying! My fiancé's favorite is the Crack Pie. I honestly don't know what's in it besides sugary buttery goodness as he ate it all yesterday, so didn't get a taste! But he's had it twice now and loves it. We also got a wonderful peanut butter brownie which was chocolatey rich and had a big yummy swirl of peanut butter running throughout. Fantastic place to get a quick, cheap treat. A million times better than something you could buy at the grocery store, so don't even bother - just come here!

The staff are nice and friendly and, as I said, the decor is bright and relaxed with painted wooden chairs and tables.

I was literally led to this cute little cake shop in Grainger Market by the sugar sweet scent that…read morewas too irresistible to deny. As my eyes feasted on all the cakes, cupcakes and tray bakes, my taste buds called out for some spongy goodness. I couldn't very well say no to a cupcake and certainly not to a red velvet one at that; so out with a few bob and off I was with a cupcake for myself and one for the bf. Both of the cakes were frosted really well and the vanilla cupcake was topped with some retro sweets. The cake itself was not too sweet with a good taste of cocoa but it was not as moist as I would have liked (may have because I went late afternoon). The frosting mixture was solid, managing to stay put for a 30 min wonder through town but it was a little too strong on the sugar for me. As a whole, the cupcake was still super tasty (bf scoffed his down so the vanilla cupcake has a thumb of approval) and was at a reasonable price. You could tell that the lovely lady in the shop was passionate about baking and ensured the highest quality expected from a local business by informing me with a friendly smile that the goodies are baked daily on site! Inside the brightly coloured store, you can see all the clean baking equipment used and the rows of different goodies behind a glass counter with 3 scrumptious loooking cakes in cake stands on top. This pattiserie also serves drinks and has standing tables decorated with pinecorns outside of the store itself. I'm seriously considering returning next time earlier on in the day when I'm in town to get me some of the divine looking brownies and a big box of cupcakes! Hopefully then I can give a 5-star rating. For now, my sweet tooth is 100% satisfied.

What has prompted this review is their mouth watering and delicious rhubarb and custard macaroons that I only discovered last week.....so good that they drew me back every day without fail! If you're a newbie to the French Oven it can be difficult to peruse their selection as it does get pretty busy along the counter but the staff are always more than happy to help and the queue is a reflection of the high quality and fresh food on offer. They also deliver if you want time to consider your order online or buy in bulk. I would highly recommend their macaroons as they are by far the best I've tasted outside of Paris itself! I also tend to favour the sourdough bread or focaccia - so flavoursome and light. Although not a frequent pasty fiend I have sampled their chilli con carne pasty when I was looking for convenience food and it was very tasty although perhaps could have had a bit more filling. Nonetheless I have yet to be disappointed by anything from this little treasure of a bakery.

As you would really, it being a bread shop :-) Anyway, the lady behind the counter was very helpful, and described the bread that was on the back shelves, and I selected a mixed grain. Sitting infont of her on the counter was an interesting dark brown round loaf, with some bright pink bits showing through. She said it was Prawn and something!!! I nearly choked! She said "It's been really popular today and this is the only one left!" I decided I may need to gird my loins a bit more before delving into the dark art of baking to that extreme. I asked if she had a list of the bread they do, and she handed me a Qype card! Whoo hoo for promoting Qype! Not so hot on getting me more info on produce sadly. Maybe a blackboard somewhere with "FreshToday" written on it and a list of bread and cakes available as well as the specials of the day would be very useful I feel. The bread was lovely!
