Great and lovely service. The cakes are delicious😋🔥
Ordered my daughters 18th birthdsy cake, Taylor Swift themed. It's absolutely amazing, the ordering process was easy, great communication, I'll definitely be ordering again 😀
Staff was amazing. The cakes are very good the only reason why I’m giving it a 4/5 stars rating is because I’m yet to try all of the different flavours they have so far the ones I liked and tried more than once are in the pictures below. One though that’s good that I have tried yesterday was the red velvet one and it was quite nice I will probably go for that one.
Came in for a party, wonderful staff, wonderful cakes, would definitely recommend.
First time trying and I have to say they didn't disappoint. everyone was friendly and welcoming, 100% coming back.
I had the strawberry cupcake and it was lovely. The cream on top was very good for vegan, although the outside had developed a little crunch from being in open air (I assume). Overall super tasty and the other flavours looked good too. Service was helpful and quick but a little uninterested.
Karen made a wedding cake for a wedding I photographed, and I now use Karen for all my cake smash cakes they are amazing the colours are perfect
Lovely gluten free options.
Also love the fact they do mini cupcakes as my 3 year old daughter loved choosing one (the one with the most sprinkles, of course!) and enjoyed eating it all!

The service was warm and friendly and they have a wide variety of flavours available. They have a good selection of gluten free and vegan options and it is clear what they have sold out of so you don't have to ask and be disappointed.
We had the banoffee pie and gluten free chocolate fudge cake (which is also vegan so dairy free) and they barely touched the sides.

Thank you very much. You made everything so easy and beautiful. Even though I am not in your country But it is very good. When will I have the chance? I must go see you sometime. Thank you very much again. that gives happiness to the people I love
Karen made our wedding cake. She delivered it to the venue and set it all up for us. The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious too!! Everyone commented on how lovely (and tasty!) it was. It was lovely to meet you Karen. Thank you for everything 🙂 Mick and Mel xx
Small but mighty.
An amazing selection of cupcakes displayed. It was hard to choose.
I am lactose intolerant and thank God, they have vegan ones. I was delighted. I had a red velvet one, my friend had "the millionaire" one (all chocolate).
They also have some gluten-free if you are gluten intolerant.
We recommend 100%. It was absolutely delicious, perfect amount of everything, I cannot praise those cupcakes enough.
Seriously, if you're in Covent Garden, give them a try. You won't be disappointed. I miss those cupcakes already.
Love,
Marie & Aurélie

Asked for a Man United birthday cake for my 10 years old and we were blown away with Nicola's amazing work. The cake was absolutely stunning and so good. My boy loved it and had an amazing day. Thank you so much Nicola.
Thank you very much Janie for the beautiful and delicious dinosaur cake for my boys! Her customer service is exceptional! She made my experience enjoyable and stress-free. I will certainly recommend cake box to my family and friends. Words cannot fully express how happy and thankful I am with the customer care. Thank you so much Janie!
Brilliant service and fantastic quality. They made an 80th birthday cake and everyone commented on how special and personal it looked. Their day to day bakery food looked better than Greggs too!
Ordered from the cake hole today, absolutely amazing - just mouthwatering! Karen done my wedding cake, two years ago and we have never looked back I wouldn’t go anywhere else now! Karen is so lovely and will go above and beyond for you. Thank you so much xx
Tried so many places. Best by far. Professional & great communication. She is an artist. The cakes are as tasty as beautiful not overly sweet which i was very impressed by.
Never go there, i'm from argentina, and i never travel, but i'm sure this is a great café. If you have a bad experience there, allways think, maybe is the waiter first day, or its a bad day. Before a bad review, give another chance, and another.
Had a beautiful wedding cake made by Nicola at celebrations cakes. Was short notice but she was very helpful and accommodating. Looked and tasted amazing! Amazing service! Thank you!
Sadly no vegan options here…I’ve read on another review that their feedback is that “we do’ have vegan cupcakes - they definitely don’t! There isn’t any on the website and there aren’t any when you walk in - so goodness knows why they have said they do have Vegan options! Otherwise, my friends had the normal cupcakes and said they were plainly average - not worth it.
There are so many flavors of cupcakes and they all look so pretty, so we had to try. We ordered the Mini Banoffee Cupcake and were quite disappointed. Both the cake itself and the frosting were lacking flavor. Overall, would not recommend, as the quality is much lower than the price.
can definitely recommend.. the range of sweet treats is amazing..its a nightmare living near this shop as i need soo much willpower.. lots of options too for vegan and gluten free customers xx
I contacted Lisa at Little Things Cafe at short notice for a birthday cake for my gran's 86th birthday. She kindly squeezed me in her very busy schedule creating a wonderful birthday cake which was delicious and also catered to my gran's dietary requirements. I would highly recommend celebration cakes from Little Things Cafe!
It’s a lovely little cafe a bit small but that’s not a problem . I had a cheese and ham toasty and it was the best I’ve had so far . I’ve been to many places but this place was great Il definitely be back
The staff members were really lovely, and helped us decide which cake to order. And the cakes from this cake box is too good and delicious. I would definitely come here again.
We always get cake from cake box. Absolutely yummy. So many varieties. Family loves it too.
The cakes here are outstanding and thoughtful. Thinking about not just vegetarians but also vegans can eat this cake aswell. It taste like a normal cake. This cakes here really makes you want to have more also texture soft like the clouds. Very delicious,also should try the vanilla cakes there. There's only one word to describe cake box and it's amazing
Really quite shocking. At 4.7 i thought this place would be lovely. My partners tea tasted like washing up liquid and when i said something she said well ive never had any complaints before. Ordered smashed avocado and and extra poached egg and the egg was raw. When the white of your egg is running its not cooked so i again told her and she stared at it before asking if i wanted another one but said to leave it. She offered my money back. We had also ordered porridge with honey but the honey was crystallised and was not pleasant but i actually couldn't face complaining again because of her attitude. I waited ages for my refund and she only refunded me the £6.70 not even the extra for the egg which was the issue mind you the bread was so hard it wouldn't even cut. The worst experience ever.
I did take pictures but won't let me upload

Really friendly staff with incredible cupcakes and delicious coffee. The breakfasts are exceptional value for money, with the fluffiest and lightest scrambled eggs I’ve had yet.
Karen did a spectacular job of our wedding cake. She has been a dream to work with, very detail oriented, very clear, a great communicator - everything you’d want when preparing for a special day. The cake was exactly as we wanted/as described, delicious, and arrived exactly at the time we needed it. When I dropped a whole box of specially made vegan cupcakes the night before our wedding (!) Karen managed to arrange for more to be delivered the next morning. The guests loved them! I can’t say enough great things about Cake Hole! You need cake - Karen is your gal!!! Thanks! xx
A small but lovely cafe in the centre of town. Enjoyed done poached eggs on toast followed by some yummy cakes. Staff were very lovely. Would recommend and will visit again. Caters for vegans and multiple dietary requirements
We ordered a cake for our son’s first birthday at Cale Box Bolton. The staff were very friendly and also were patient to guide us and provide recommendations. We got a photo printed on the cake and the additional charge was half the price of services which sell photo cake toppers.
All in all liked the cake and service. Yes, the cake is more expensive than what we get in a supermarket but again it doesn’t taste like a regular supermarket cake so we were happy to spend a little extra.

Beautiful cake for my aunty’s 60th birthday and home delivery to our house. We were kept updated with photos of how the cake was progressing and were very impressed with the lifelike figure and decorations on the cake (it also tasted amazing!)
Good selection of cupcakes. They all taste different, but they’re all super sweet. The cream also tastes different on each of them depending on the flavor - which is a nice touch.
Although I didn’t get a chance to try their cakes. They were very honest with me from the start. As I told them some people have nut allergy. They told me that they cannot produce me a cake for that reason. This surprised me as there are a lot of companies that would have taken my money regardless. So if you want to use service from a honest and very well priced company this is the one for you
What an amazing lady. My daughter is terminally ill and she isn’t eating a great deal but fancied some cakes. When I went to pick them up she said there was no charge. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting a smile on my daughters face. #one grateful mama xx
Ordered a cake for my Dad's 90th birthday.
The cake is so light & fluffy & the decoration is just perfect, received many lovely comments.
It made Dad's day, thank you so much.

Ordered a cake for my wife’s birthday. Great to deal with, very efficient. Cake looked fantastic and tasted even better. Would highly recommend
It was my first time visiting Dundee and I was on the lookout for a quaint, local café with a hearty menu. I was lucky enough to come across Little Things Café - one of the best cafés I’ve been to. The staff were so kind - they had no problem with accommodating one of my substitution requests, as everything is made to order. The mint hot chocolate was delicious and even aesthetically pleasing and the Thai green Lentil soup was divine (I would love to see these two items on every café menu)! I look forward to returning.
So glad I found this bakery staff are all friendly helpful and go the extra mile their bread and cakes are delicious and a very reasonable price with the option of delivery can’t fault this firm.
Well done to all at nice buns bakery.

I visited Nice Buns yesterday on a cake run for my wife an wow what a hidden treasure.
Arrived to be greeted by this really polite lady who didn't rush me to make a decision and even took time to help me so I didn't buy the wrong item.
The selection of cakes was second to none.
My personal fav was the gold bar donut
Will be back

The most amazing cake I’ve ever had. So soft and tasty. Went down really well at our party & would highly recommend and buy for other events 🥰
Excellent cake, every layer was delicious. Nicola made the wedding cake to exactly what we wanted, even when we changed one of the layers late on. She delivered samples for us to try, which were again fabulous and the price can not be beaten, which included delivery to our venue too. Amazing, would definitely recommend 😁
The food is fantastic as well as the coffee. The prices are great and the latte art is absolutely adorable. Overall the cafe is very aesthetically pleasing.
Celebrations Cakes came recommended by a friend when I wanted a special cake for my daughter's birthday and they did not disappoint. So I went back again for her next birthday. The cake decoration is beautiful, so well detailed and the work of a perfectionist. The cakes themselves have all been a great flavour and really delicious. The service was great; simple and easy communication. I'll absolutely be back next birthday.
Never don’t order her. I order l cake for my daughter birthday, she not fiksing good l cake and cake start to felling. I called her end l send l mesage but she looked photo end she making me block. My daughter when she looked l cake she start to crying 😞😞
I ordered a carrot cake and it was the best one I ever tried! I got it delivered at home and experienced no issues with it! Also, in the note I added that it was my boyfriend’s birthday and they add a little banner on top of the cake, so thoughtful! 10 out of 10 experience
I've been here a few times as my son loves the cakes.
It's a real treat when you see all the different things on offer.
I recently had a cake from Emily.
She is so welcoming and friendly. You can't go wrong choosing perfect cupcakes for cheeky treats and any occasion cakes.

A massive thank you for making the cake at such short notice. The communication, the detail, professionalism, lovely person and as for the cake I was blown away with the detail and the taste was amazing. If your looking for a cake Perfect Cupcakes is your place to go and I will definitely be back for more. 😊
The most fudgiest, chocolatey brownies I’ve ever tasted! Top tip warm them up for 15 seconds and watch all your brownie dreams come true!
Fabulous service and creativity. MAC designed the most perfect box of thank you biscuits which were so beautifully presented! Thank you!
Over the last year I have had countless cakes and bakes from the amazing Karen - The Cake Hole and I can honestly say she is the bestest cake maker ever! Her sponges are always so fluffy, light and utterly delicious. Her buttercream is unlike any buttercream I’ve ever tasted it’s just so light and yummmmmmmy. I know everyone says this about their cake makers but Karen genuinely is THE BEST! Give her a try you will not be disappointed. She likes a challenge so what ever you are after flavours/ designs she will always accommodate you. I can’t wait for our next birthday just to have one of Karen’s cakes haha 🎂💖

My son picked up a bag of bread, scones and teacakes from the TooGoodTooGo app and OMG it was the freshest and tastiest bread I've eaten in years!
Its a bit of a walk for me but I'm coming here from now on. I'm not buying supermarket bread again.
Absolutely lovely! Fresh tasty and very moreish 😋

Fantastic food, looks, smells and tastes amazing. Highly recommended.
Absolutely delicious cake for my sister’s birthday. The baker is extremely friendly and was able to create our ideal cake. Also provided beautiful flowers to match the theme. Would highly recommend!
Ordered some cupcakes for mothers day and not only did they look stunning but they tasted delicious! Really easy to order and lovely staff to greet you on collection. They've become a real staple in the community and I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for them! Definitely recommend.
I have had quite a few biscuits and bakes from Mac Bakery over the past few months - all have been really tasty and look amazing; too good to eat! I have them posted and they are packed well and do not get damaged in transit. Would definitely recommend and will continue to use Mac Bakery as my ‘go to’ place for biscuits and bakes XxX
MAC Bakery is my go to for every occasion no matter what it may be! I have lost count of the amount of orders I have placed and each time they get better and better!! The most detailed biscuits and always taste amazing! Already looking for the next excuse to order a batch!
Ordered from Mac bakery a couple of times now and both times have been incredible! Zoe takes so much pride in her bakes, I am obsessed with the cookie pies and highly recommend them ( with some ice cream 🍦)
Defiantly will be ordering again
Thanks Zoe ( Mac Bakery )

Real home cooking with high standards and quality presentation. A must for anyone who is looking for the perfect edible gift. Very professional throughout my experience and will definitely use again
Ordered the rolo brownies and was amazed at the size of the brownies I received. They tasted lovely and were packaged up neat. I’ve recommended to all my friends.
Lovely friendly local bakery who have been a crutch through two lockdowns. Need a pick me up? Nice Buns for cakes! They are always trying new items and the selection now is amazing. They’ve hugely expanded their range...and it’s all FRESH! The pies are delicious, they do yummy focaccia. They even do pizza.
Like all small businesses they’ve been hit hard by the pandemic so it’s important that they are supported by the local community. In return they give a lot back. They ran a lovely Halloween Hunt, with free treats for the kids. They run little competitions and one-offs. They donate to local schools & food banks, and they are on the Too Good To Go scheme. They do home delivery to order. What more can I say? Oh, did I mention that pretty much everything we’ve had from Nice Buns has been delicious?! Give em a try.
