BakerDays Personalised 5 inch Letterbox Gift Cake Review

I wanted to do this since long. A personalised Ferrari themed cake for the special one on his birthday. In this post, I will share my experience with the BakerDays personalised 5 inch letterbox gift cake and a giveaway for you lovely people, so make sure to read till the end!


Oh, and have you read my previous posts? Then you would know what's going on at my end nowadays. Yeah! It's my husband's birthday month. Catch up with the birthday dinner post, here. Seriously, one of my FAVOURITE restaurants for high-end dining in London. Check it out or you will miss dining at this very posh eatery that gives you a feeling of being royal. It was such a delight to be sent a personalised cake. I love personalised things. Not only do they look pretty but they just melt the (at least, mine) heart.

About BakerDays:

And wait, if you order before 2:00 pm, BakerDays can deliver the very next day! YES, you are reading it right! 


The Letterbox Cake is the baby of the BakerDays family. Being just 5” in diameter, it fits perfectly through the Letterbox allowing you to surprise anyone with the most delicious personalised gift. You can check out the BakerDays website here, or visit and follow them on their Facebook and Twitter pages.

My Experience:


The BakerDays cake arrives in a white thick card board box and the cake is further secured in a nice metal box to ensure that your personalised 5'' letterbox cake reaches you in good condition.

Frankly, when I had heard of the BakerDays letterbox cake, I wasn't much sure about how the condition of the cake would be when it would arrive at my door-step. However, it was in the best condition and I was very happy to see it. 



Other than the cake, there is a small 3 inch card, a packet of 3 decent sized balloons, 2 candles and a party whistle blower. That was actually a surprise because I wasn't expecting all that. So, it is a whole mini birthday celebration package which seemed perfect for me because that's all I was looking for. 



I selected a cake from their website and provided my own photo and text to be printed on the cake. P.S. The cake was on behalf of BabyN' for his dad whom he calls Baba (meaning dad). I have taken a photo of the box for you so you have an idea of how the BakerDays personalised letterbox cake arrives.

This cake was vanilla sponge cake and it tasted good and so was the fondant. However, you can also order chocolate chip sponge cake, gluten wheat free cakes, dairy free cakes and fruit cakes. 

The vanilla sponge cake I tried costs £14.99, while there is an additional charge for the other flavours. The cakes are posted through the Royal Mail and an additional postage charge applies depending on how urgent you need the cake to be delivered. For all the details, you can check on the BakerDays website.

Although it's meant to be a letterbox cake, your house may have a different sized letterbox like mine which may not enable the post-man to keep the box in your letterbox. In that case, if he rings the bell and you receive it, it's well and good. However, if the postman leaves a note for collection or re-delivery,  you might not be very happy about that. 


Therefore, I would just advice you to inform the BakerDays team to convey to the Royal Mail to deliver the parcel at the neighbour's in case you're not around rather than leaving a note.
