I ordered a Pavlova for my son's birthday to pick up on the 19th of December. That night when I was cutting it up to share with family it was falling apart. It had syrup all through it like they had used a tin of two fruits to pour over it. It had hardly any Pavlova in it and lots of cream holding it together. There was some fresh fruit hiding the liquid underneath. My son and the others couldn't eat it as it was too sweet and messy. We have always bought our birthday cakes from Cakes on Carthew and been happy. Very disappointed this time. I rang them the next day to give feedback.

Will NOT be going back, rude for no reason. ruined...
Read moreI recently visited.”Cake on Carthew”to order a birthday cake, and I was very happy with their service. They took the time to understand my requirements and delivered a cake that met my expectations perfectly. The quality and taste were excellent, and it really made the celebration special.
However, I did notice that the variety of cakes on display for walk-in customers could be expanded. It would be great to see more options available without pre-ordering, as it would offer a more exciting experience for spontaneous buyers.
Overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend Cake on Carthew for their great service and...
