Ran inside the seven day window for M&S cake ordering. Quickly found that all the big stores have a seven day order requirement and all seem to order from the same big baked goods company since many of the cakes appeared identical. Started to wonder just how fresh this makes my cake when it gets to me.
Found Sweet Delices online in my nearest town. Explained the need for a combined double birthday cake for the coming weekend. (4 days away). I was sent a couple of suggestion pics on Facebook. All looked scrummy. Price was only slightly higher than the big stores for a completely custom, baked the day before and finished the morning of cake. Nicely boxed.
Cake was an excellent chocolate sponge, chocolate cream and, of course, chocolate ganache. Oh yeah....and with strawberries and gold maltesers balls on top. Sooooo much chocolate !
Let's just say it went down extremely well with no shortage of takers for take-home slices and Ranuka's (the owner) business card.
