Excessive Food Colouring – Stains Won't Wash Off

Lovely-looking cake, but very disappointing quality. The excessive red food colouring stained the children's mouths, faces and our hands. Even after washing more than 10 times, the stains wouldn't come off. It was embarrassing in front of all the parents at my child's birthday party. Customer service simply said the colouring was edible and hasn't followed up with a proper resolution. Very disappointing experience. I wouldn't order again.

The cake was horrible in terms of the taste and the use of colours. It was for my son who turned 3 and I could not even offer him the cake as the colour was so bad it made everyone’s lips blue. I threw the entire cake in the bin. I will ask all my friends and family never to order from cake box as it is hazardous to have such cakes. Spoilt our entire party and the mood of my 3 year old.

I have been a regular customer of Cake…

I have been a regular customer of Cake Box and have always enjoyed ordering cakes from them. However, I was very disappointed with my recent experience.

I ordered a birthday cake that was advertised on the website as a heart-shaped cake with black bows. When I went to collect my order, the staff member informed me that black bows were not available and asked me to choose either blue or red instead.

This was very disappointing because I had planned the entire birthday decoration around a black theme. Being told about this at the last minute was really frustrating, especially for such a special occasion.

I would kindly suggest that Cake Box inform customers in advance if any decorations or items are unavailable, rather than waiting until they arrive to collect their orders. This would help avoid disappointment and give customers enough time to make alternative arrangements.

I hope you take this feedback seriously and improve your communication with customers in the future.

Easy online ordering and excellent customer service

Ordering on line on Cake Box was simple and easy.
Unfortunately, our planned changed and could not collect the cake on the day we were supposed to collect.
I contacted the store and the assistant was very polite and agree to collect it next week.
Excellent service would recommend Cake Box to others.

Unfortunately the Upminster cake box team gave my cake to another person. The lady didn’t check and assumed the person collecting was the right person. Surely you would check the details before giving the cake away.

Having said that I was able to get another cake on the day, even though it wasn’t what I ordered.

Reply from Cake Box

Hi Kalpa,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We are truly sorry to hear about what happened with your cake collection at Cake Box Upminster. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating it must have been to find out that your cake had been handed to someone else without the collection details being properly checked. We are also sorry that you had to settle for a replacement cake that was not what you originally ordered.

Please accept our sincere apologies. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we understand how important it is for our customers to receive the correct order, especially when it is for a special occasion.

We will be escalating your feedback to the store so the team can review and investigate what happened, address the concerns raised and take the necessary steps to prevent a similar situation from happening again.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is genuinely valuable and helps us improve our service and quality. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Kind regards,
Cake Box Customer Support team
