Reviews for Victoria Sponge Cake - Page 5

  • I ordered this cake for my partners birthday 2 weeks before I needed it delivered. A week before delivery was due, I had to change the delivery address due to family circumstances. Contacted customer service to change the delivery address which was done with no fuss whatsoever and the cake arrived beautifully packaged and in great condition. The courier was polite and the cake tasted amazing, would defo recommend and will defo be buying from here again!!

  • The cake was too sweet with too much buttercream. The cake was also quite dense, not light and fluffy as you would expect a sponge to be

  • The Victoria sponge is indeed a favourite in our house. The vanilla and jam filling is delicious and incorporated with the vanilla sponge is a delight to have. I like the fact that we can choose two different sizes. The next time I order it will be the larger one. So moist and delicious, it certainly gets the tastebuds tingling…..

  • We’ve had this cake before it’s a little dry and needs to be put with something like ice cream or custard or cream. It’s nice enough but the price you would expect higher quality

  • Actually regret my purchase. I could have purchased a similar cake from M&S for a cheaper price but I thought I'd give it a go from here. Overly priced for the size of the cake. So relieved that I actually paid the discounted price due to the Group On. Wouldn't definitley have paid full price as the cake quality does not reflect the price. Definitley not worth the price point compared to the size of the cake. The cake itself was dense and quite dry. The buttercream was overly sweet and gritty. There were issues with the delivery also. DHL were unable to deliver my parcel due to a lack of drivers which meant I had to pick up the parcel from the depot which was a huge inconvenience. Will not be ordering again or recommending to friends or family unfortunately.

  • It doesn’t deserve one star. It didn’t show up until after the event! Pretty awful. My sister suggested your company for a wedding cake for cutting for my daughter’s wedding. We had other desserts but since a Victoria Sponge is the quintessential English dessert, we thought that would be nice to cut with my dad’s ceremonial sword at her wedding. Well, if the cake had shown up it might have worked! Had a nice Union Jack paper wrap too, which might have been nice for all the Americans who also attended (her husband is American). But, we ordered it to be delivered on the Friday (to be sure it arrived in time). And, despite getting a couple of emails that it was on it’s way - it didn’t arrive. (My sister tried to call someone but was unable to get anyone on the telephone so sent a message - which, rather like this one I expect - will not receive a response.) And on the Saturday, we again got a couple of emails that the courier had it and it was on it’s way. But no cake showed up. On Monday afternoon, the cake showed up at my sister’s house. Three days after it was supposed to arrive and two days after the actual wedding. (We ended up buying three small Victoria sponges from a local bakery on Saturday morning - though that required someone running out to find them on a busy morning!). Those cakes were actually waaaay better than the one which showed up from this company on the Monday anyway, even if they weren’t such a great presentation.

  • The cake was very generously sized and served 5 with half a cake left over (the leftovers didn't hang around for long though!). The filling was delicious - fresh jam and butter cream with a hint of vanilla. The taste and texture of the sponge were spot on too. I will definitely be ordering again in the future!

  • We have tried a few different cakes before, but found the denser the cake the dryer it tends to be, the Victoria Sponge tends to be more fluffy and moist than others, so stick mostly to buying that. Would like to try others, if they where all available in minis we would do so, but noticed now that they do all the flavours. It hasn’t put us off buying, the cakes are enjoyed if eaten straight after purchase.

  • Absolutely delicious Victoria sponge cake.. could do with a little more jam if I am completely honest but it didn’t stop the whole cake being devoured in seconds 😂 can’t wait to try some other flavours.

  • cake was absolutely superb - didn’t go dry at all. The cake looked fantastic - there was plenty of filling between the layers and the layers themselves were a big size. It was really tasty and made a good mother’s day present. Would highly recommend :)

  • These are my personal thoughts on the victorial sponge, for me the buttercream was far too sweet and I think more jam and a little less buttercream might work well. I would not order this cake again which is a shame.

  • The 16 inches cake was huge!! Bigger than expected it was a delightful surprise. Everyone loved the cake and everyone kept asking for more till there were no left overs!!! It was the best sponge cake I have ever had in my life! I was very pleased and I am excited for my next birthday. Can’t wait to order again. I might just look for an occasion to get the cake again. Thank you very much. Keep making amazing cakes!

  • I thought the product kept nice and fresh, cut easily and had a good amount of filling. The actual sponge is a little on the sweet side.
