Apart from all the obvious jokes about dog poo, they are very lazily decorated and that buttercream looks grainy, like it's split.

deeahgwitch · 22/07/2025 20:58

I don’t want to be a party pooper but they look grim for a professional bakery.

Choc drops and freeze dried strawberries

Ah ok. It's like there's not enough of the toppings and they're not very eye catching or evenly decorated.

Mapletreelane · 22/07/2025 21:02

Oh wow. Are they for real? I feel like I've stepped into an episode of the Apprentice where they've been tasked to supply cupcakes to a corporation client. They look awful.

W0tnow · 22/07/2025 21:05

A corporate event? No, you were right to ask for a refund. I wouldn’t serve them at a corporate event. They are unreasonable to not refund you, I guess you could leave them a review, with pics?

autienotnaughty · 22/07/2025 21:09

They are poor quality, if they won’t refund I’d be leaving an accurate review and taking my business elsewhere

ByMintLion · 22/07/2025 21:12

They rang and said that they were quite offended that i could say such a thing and they were very pleased with them and would not be refunding for them. For the record we usually do about (on average), about £150 a month with them.

I’m sorry they do resemble the poop
emoji! BUT pictures often don’t look as good as the real deal. I mean… just flatten the icing 😕😕😕 I don’t know what to suggest!

ByMintLion · 22/07/2025 21:14

I'm glad that I'm not going crazy, i couldn't imagine serving them (obv if ordered emjoi ones, would be ok, although i think they have been over whipped).

Well that's 150 they'll be losing every month from now one since you'll understandably be finding a new baker! Shame!

Thulpelly · 22/07/2025 21:15

The buttercream looks like it’s split when they whipped it, it’s looks all grainy.

LipstickLessons · 22/07/2025 21:16

I wouldn't be happy at all. My standard quick batch of buns look better than these do.

MiddleAgedDread · 22/07/2025 21:17

If you ordered poop themed cupcakes then they’re great. Otherwise they’re terrible! The fruit that’s been sliced will probably just go mushy and it looks like the buttercream has split.

Laura95167 · 22/07/2025 21:17

We all know what they look like 💩

tothelefttotheleft · 22/07/2025 21:17

@ByMintLion

What a strange reaction when they receive £150 a month in sales.

I would not use them again.

Add the photo to thay review too

CoastalCalm · 22/07/2025 21:19

Looks like something they’d make on the apprentice and have to give a full refund

Well exactly. What a shame, always been pleased with their other bakes. Oh sigh... Looking for a new baker i guess . Honestly, can't believe they were ok to send out, let alone double down when informed and tried to be offended!?

HarpieDuJour · 22/07/2025 21:21

It's not just that thay look like poo, they look like poo with flies on it! I wouldn't have served them either.

IberianBlackout · 22/07/2025 21:23

Are they meant to be 💩 themed?

Charabanc · 22/07/2025 21:28

They look like cakes for a charity that tells people to check for blood in their poo.

tilypu · 22/07/2025 21:28

They are really bad. I'm sure they taste good enough - but I'm not sure that many people would actually be willing to eat them.

I would definitely be voting with my feet and going elsewhere, especially given that you are a regular customer that (presumably) hasn't felt the need to complain before now.

No, not all. I have actually put some new business their way, with recommendations. I wonder why they though this would be their hill?

Superhansrantowindsor · 22/07/2025 21:32

The fact you asked for a partial refund shows you aren’t being unreasonable. You are accepting some of the cakes. The business is being ridiculous. They are awful - fine for the school fete but not for a professional setting.

They do actually! I havent seen them before ( sounds a good idea for a bowel charity though)
