Closed: Win a Letterbox cake from bakerdays

By -

This giveaway is now closed and the winner will be announced shortly

Promotional Feature

Last month I celebrated my birthday while the UK was still under lockdown. I can confidently say that it was my most bizarre birthday ever!

Obviously I couldn’t go far, just taking my daily walk down to the local canal for exercise. And there was no family dinner at a local restaurant or meeting up with friends for a coffee due to the travel restrictions.

But we had a takeaway dinner, and presents and cards from Mark and the boys. They made sure that my birthday was the best it could be under the circumstances.

And there was an extra little treat for me, thanks to bakerdays who sent me one of their fabulous letterbox cakes.

It’s the perfect way to treat a loved one when you can’t be there in person on a special day.

The Letterbox size cake will give 2-4 servings, depending on how generous you’re feeling of course. And the clever packaging fits through the letterbox for contact-free delivery.

Read on to find out how you could win a bakerdays Letterbox cake in our new giveaway.

Ordering a Letterbox cake from bakerdays is really easy, and delivery of bakerdays cakes is available all across the UK.

The hardest decision might be choosing which design you want from the hundreds of options in their range. They have cakes for female relatives, cakes by age, and cakes for all sorts of hobbies and interests.

Some designs allow you to personalise them with a photo, and you could even send a cake as a special treat for Father’s day. That is ideal right now, when visiting Dad in person might not be possible.

Once you’ve picked out your design, next you need to choose the sponge for your cake. There are seven options available, and the range includes vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options as well as chocolate and lemon sponges and a rich fruit cake.

Then you just add in your personalised message, and you can see a mock up of your cake on screen. You can choose to have some additional extras sent with your cake, such as a balloon or candles.

They even do next day delivery if you order before 2pm – that’s ideal for those last-minute gift ideas. The cakes are packaged very carefully, and will stay fresh for up to 7 days stored in a cool place.

My cake was made from the luscious Lemon sponge, which had a delicate lemon flavour and was beautifully fresh. It was topped with a layer of soft, sweet fondant icing, and I loved the delicate cherry blossom design.

As I was feeling generous, I shared my cake with Mark and the boys and it was a lovely addition to my very strange lockdown birthday. But with prices starting from just £14.99, a bakerdays Letterbox cake would be a wonderful treat for someone special at any time of year!

And you could win a bakerdays Letterbox cake for yourself or a loved one if you are the lucky winner of our fantastic new giveaway!

You could be the winner of one of these delicious cakes if you’re the winner of our new giveaway, thanks to bakerdays. 

You could send it to someone celebrating a birthday, or it would make a fabulous Father’s Day treat. Or why not just treat yourself – you know you deserve it!

If you win this giveaway, you’ll be able to choose a bakerdays Letterbox in the design and flavour of your choice, to be sent to a UK address. 

For a chance to win this fabulous prize, all you have to do is to log into the Rafflecopter below and answer the easy question. There are additional social media entries that you can use to boost your chances of winning.

The giveaway will close at 11.59PM on Friday 29th May 2020 and is open to UK entrants aged 18+ only. We’ll be in touch with the lucky winner as soon as possible after the closing deadline.

And the question you need to answer to be in with a chance of winning this prize is:
