So a couple of weeks ago Adam and I wanted to go away for the night, but I was super nervous about leaving Edie with my mum along with both boys who needed to be up and dressed for school the following morning. It’s not that she isn’t capable – this woman is probably better at organising the morning run than I am. No, it’s rather that Edith hadn’t been away from me for that length of time and I was worrying that she would be up and down in the night in need of milk, cuddles and teething remedies!
Anyway, she wasn’t. She was an absolute angel and, in true baby fashion, slept the night through. As well as the night after because mum had already put her to bed so she didn’t know I was there.
Naturally I was super relieved and rather determined to do something nice for my mum to say thank you for her efforts in looking after the kids to allow us some much needed couple time. That was when I received a super exciting tweet from Baker Days asking me if I would like to review their cake by delivery, and naturally I said hell yes, after all, it’s cake! Initially I drooled over what would be the perfect cakes for me and then I saw that they offer a fruit cake option… my mum loves a goo fruit cake with some cheese and her cuppa.
Que my eureka moment! This was the perfect thank you for her and the ideal opportunity to offer you guys the chance to do the same for a loved one (or yourself… no judgements up in here!)
I chose my design and cake base (there are vanilla, chocolate, vanilla AND chocolate and fruit sponges… I know – drool inspiring stuff!) even personalising it for my lovely mum and then awaited arrival. Which was the very next morning! Yes, the cakes can be ordered and delivered to your chosen address the following day, perfect if you forgot that special occasion!
I was lucky enough to be given a little sliver of cake and it was the BEST! I am not as much of a fruit cake person as I am a sponge cake but this was truly lovely. The cake was so pretty and then under the beautiful icing was a delectable fruit cake that was packed with fruit, soft and moist with a delicious apricot jam coating! Yum!!
So, big question? Would you like to win one of these gorgeous straight to the door cakes? Of course you would!

This is awesome. Food delivery is definitely the newest way to save time and to keep everything running on a smooth schedule, especially when organizing parties! Thanks so much for sharing!
A Get well soon cake for my older Niece
A good luck cake for my daughter who has just started her GCSEs 🙂
My dad for fathers day

This is a great idea for a friend or family member who has perhaps moved elsewhere. Or even a parent to send to their child at uni!
I love Bakerdays cake, so nice. I’m glad your mum liked it and I hope your lucky winner likes theirs too.
What a brilliant idea!! I definitely think my mum and MIL both deserve cakes with the amount of dog-sitting they do for us! 🙂
I love the Bakerdays cakes, I have got a couple from them before and they never fail to be delicious! I love the design of yours xx
So nice of you to get cake for your mum! That is lovely of you. I love cake and cake in the post would be amazing too!
I have had one of these cakes before and it was one of the best ones I have ever had!
July 16th is going to be our 10th marriage anniversary so if I was lucky enough to win I’d order a cake to celebrate our marriage 🙂
I think it’s a great idea to deliver cakes, we buy our groceries on line and have them delivered. Do they do Gluten Free cakes?
I think so Vicky 🙂

For my boyfriend xx

I’ve bought a cake from these guys before and it was both super cute and delicious! Nice idea to buy it for your mum 🙂
I’d probably be cheeky and order a cake for myself as I didn’t get a birthday cake this year :’) of course I’d share it though :’)
Ooh yes please I would love to win a cake for my aunty to how her how much I care. She is an incredible woman and battled cancer without so much as a moan!
I would order a cake for my son, as a nice suprise now he lives alone.
Oh what a lovely way to say thank you to your mum! I bet she loved it. It’s such a lovey design and it sounds like they have lots of different options to choose from. What a great idea for a different gift 🙂
I would order for my partner {s oI could have a bite too haha} x

We tried a Baker Days cake a while ago – it was yummy! It is such a great idea to be able to have it delivered isn’t it? Kaz x
Ok hands up I totally love baker day cakes – they are such a lovely present idea. x
Lovely idea for your mum! These cakes always look so pretty and nice – and how great is cake in the post?!

I love the idea of a cake delivered through the letterbox. I bet your mum was really pleased with it.

I love Baker Days cakes, they’re truly lovely! I am also a sponge cake person rather than fruit cake but it does look tasty! I love the design. I’m glad Edith was good for you mum, typically sleeping through the night, bless her. It does us good to get away kid free just for a night (or perhaps two!) sometimes. xx
Ooooooo and… I hope you had a fab night away?!
