The worst experience ever! Purchased a cake for £34.99 via apple pay! Manager said payment didn't go through- called bank and they confirmed with authorisation code right away. Showed the bank app and apple pay that money has gone through, she even took a picture on her mobile phone and i gave my contact details if any problems. However manager still said there is no payment gone through and she refused to give the cake. The payment had been taken out of my account but no cake - confirmed my bank! I am complaining to head office about the upset and embarrassment she caused me in a shop full of customers! Never going again. The so-called manager needs training in customer service. This was a cake I needed for 3:00pm today for my engagement! Never again!

Absolutely horrible The customer service was a disaster, apparently the cake can't be frosted in coloured frosting. You can't choose the old pictures of cake anymore as inspiration as they simply don't so them coloured! Very little room for creativity even though its a cake parlour The colours of my cake were not at all as we have written it down and the swirls which were on it, to be honest my 3 year old could have done them better The staff is absolutely terrible, no room for creativity or even some inspiration from their side Thanks for ruining a special day which was a 1st birthday Never again and I will certainly recommend to people not to go there

  • Zahraa Khan

We have been buying cakes from the cake box for numerous years and have not had an issue up until this year. We got a cake 2 months ago which was subpar at best however we decided to get a cake for a birthday yesterday in case this was a one off. We went into cake box at 1pm and paid £20 for a 6” cake. This cake was absolutely awful, it tasted stale and honestly not fresh at all with quite an unusual type of taste. I have attempted to call 5 times today to discuss this and have had no answer any time I’ve called. I’m very disappointed with this and quite honestly this has ruined a birthday. This is not what we have expect from the cake box.

  • Hasfa Bahar

Went instore to order a cake they made me place the order online at the store on my mobile phone. For whatever reason payment went through on my side however on cake box’s side it didn’t for the online order. They made the cake and I was able to pay for it with the card machine instore so firstly why not give customers the option. I had one payment taken straight away and the original payment I made via their online order pending for weeks. Ridiculous system. Really unhelpful the manager was and could tell she just wanted to get rid of me and pacify me with whatever answer, expected better from this company.

Just Bought Mango cake slice today and First I been told That they don't have mango slice at the moment and then when I was going back the lady told me that she have mango slice and gave me for free,but when I arrived at home the cake slice was so hard and strawbery on top was litle mold and stawberry was look like 3 days old slice and even When removed stawberry from top there was an Insect inside the cake thankfully I have seen it otherwise I has eaten it. See the evidence below.

  • Charlotte Garcia

We have got cake from this location on many occasions and each time the quality, service of the staff, and friendly attitude make it worthwhile. Each time the cakes are made to an outstanding standard and the staff pay attention to detail. They clearly have great knowledge of their brand. Our party cakes always turn out perfect and I would never buy from anywhere else.

  • THLM YT

I ordered 2 cakes for my nephews as an Eid present and they said to me that they did not like the cake as the sponge of the cake was not fresh. They only had a bit of the cake before throwing it away in the bin. I don't think I will be buying a cake from cake box any time soon (Ilford Lane Cake Box).

  • Sannah Iqbal

Have bought from this place 5 times, 5 times of which have failed. The cake was stale, dry and tasteless. After the first time, we asked the worker if the cakes are fresh as we did not want a repeat of the first time to which we were rudely spoken to and with attitude. Would not recommend at all!

  • Mia Dw

Never fail to impress. Exactly what I order is what I received. Kind staff very polite over the phone. Beautiful fresh baked cake tastes delicious. If you want something delicious and high quality then it’s the place for you. I Highly recommend cake box Thank you to all the staff

  • Samridhi Kansra

sorry to say but i am so disappointed with your cake. few days back i ordered a cake for my husband and the sponge was so dry and hard he wasnt able to eat it and i am never gonna come back to you rather than that i will prefer to go to other bakeries.I didnt expect this from cakebox.

  • Ethbar Hussain

We ordered the above birthday cake online and picked up yesterday 7th April. The cake was dry and inedible. Ruined the whole birthday. Can you give full refund as I am a regular customer and I'm highly disappointed with the cake. We had to throw the cake as no one liked it.

  • Laksh g

Absolutely delicious fresh cream eggless cakes.The sponge is very soft and fluffy. They deserve 5 stars for the quality of the cakes and cleanliness they maintain.Recommended for 100% vegetarians.The lady at the till was very patient and welcoming.

  • Sayyedah Mawa

Walked in the shop and bought two cake slices, I was really looking forward to eat this and give to kids but it literally tasted like cleaning chemicals on the side and the top of the cake slices. Even the chocolate on top, you could

  • Iram Khan

  • Tanvear Khaliq

Cake Box has a fantastic selection of cakes and every time I order cakes from here they never let me down. print any photos into the cakes and the quality is always excellent. And the staff are fantastic.

  • S A

If you cant keep the cake sponge moist like a cake should be, then use an egg! Small cakes, dry inside relying totally on the cream/icing to dress it as a cake and ensure its sweet. Waaaaaay over priced.

  • suman naga

For all occasions we order cakes from Ilford cake box. They maintain good quality and great taste every time. Helpful team who understands the customer requirements and helps to have desired cakes.

  • Adnan Akhtar

Ordered 8 inch Birthday cake, at collection when I mentioned its size is shorter than 8 inch staff argued about size. My wife noticed the small size straight away when I reached home. Shameful!

  • Raja Car Sales

1. Cake Box serves the best hospitality to it's customers. 2. They sell the most splendid cakes I have ever tasted. 3. They serve their wonderful delicacies for such low prices.

  • Salinee Patra

Tasty and delicious cakes with great toppings and cake decorations. One small suggestion for the store is please provide personalised cakes with the customer selected theme.

  • Fahana Ali

  • Sudesh Sancheti

Not great, I ordered twice and both times they make order ready last minute and due to this cake is too soft you can't even cut pieces. I really didn't like the service.
