I have used the company bakerdays in the past and have always been very impressed by their cake designs, flavours and pricing.

I love the idea of the letterbox cakes to send to relatives that you may not have the opportunity to see on their special day, they wouldn't need to be in to take delivery and when they open they get the surprise gift.

I was contacted by the lovely people of bakerdays to see whether I would like to participate in their fathers day campaign to receive and review one of their 5 inch Letterbox Cakes. Now what dad wouldn't want to receive cake, and his own at that. This small size cake provides 3-4 portions, perfect for a family to share.

bakerdays enables you to choose your filling from traditional sponge to chocolate, fruit to marble and seasonal flavours such as lemon and red velvet. There is also the option for dairy/gluten free (at an additional charge).

You also get the chance to choose from their wide range of designs (for any occasion), perhaps personalise a design or even upload an image to have the ultimate personalised cake.

The personalisation takes the form of printing on the soft white icing that covers the entire cake. The icing comes down to the base so that the cake itself is completely sealed, meaning a nice fresh cake to eat upon arrival. The cake has of course had to be reduced in size to of course live up to his name so therefore it has 1 layer as opposed to the tradition 2. It does however still have the buttercream (at the bottom of the cake)

Of the cakes that I have personally brought and this one gifted, I have always found that the sponge is moist, light and fluffy and the buttercream buttery and rich just how I (we) like it!

Postage

As the name suggested when the cake arrives, it does actuyally fit through a letterbox (within a small thin box) The cake is presented in a lovely presentation tin that contains the cake itself, note card, balloons, a candle and a party blower. Everything that the recipient will need to celebtrate the occasion.

The tin is unbranded and re-usable and protects the cake perfectly inside.

The packaging was well presented and designed to make it easy for you to get the cake out without ruining it.

bakerdays Letterbox Cakes cost £14.99 and have free postage if you place the order 3 days in advance. If you require the cake sooner then there would be an additional postage charge.

So the build up to the wedding ended the minute you woke up on the day. If something has been forgotten..so be it. Next is making sure that today goes as smoothly as possible and that starts with being ready on time. Makeup done, Hair done, Getting ready pictures done, Few glasses of bubbly drank done, fitted into dress now just to slip the shoes on and we are ready to go.

The day is long and tiring and you don't know how many times you have said "thank you" or "yes please" (to another drink!). Now I haven't convinced my other half to walk me down the aisle yet but from speaking to friends and family the wedding night isn't as romantic as they make out in films.

It's a case of firstly getting of these shoes that have encased your feet all day and it feels amazing, next is shouting to your maid of honour, mum or whoever is closest to your room to help you out of your dress as your now husband is passed out on the bed from drinking your dad/granddad/uncle under the table and having shots with his mates. You then have the hundreds of bobby pins that have very kindly kept your hair in place to take out so you can at least enjoy a good night sleep on that big bouncy pillow that looks oh so amazing. Finally its getting this makeup off that has made you look and feel a million dollars all day.

After all that, you get into bed and less than 5 minutes later your dreaming about the day you've just had.

Now its time to start dreaming or thinking about the next best thing after a wedding...a little break away to celebrate all your hard work planning your amazing wedding. My DREAM honeymoon is the Maldives and I cant wait to visit the islands and explore.

As well as the destination you next have to think about where you are staying and as your on our honeymoon of course its only the best!

I have picked 5 other destinations that I would love to visit and also the hotel that I would pick to stay in.

Bora Bora- Four Seasons

An Island in the French Polynesia, known as the most romantic island in the world. The Four Seasons is set on a private sand-fringed islet on the barrier reef. 107 overwater bungalows and villas with views of Mount Otemanu.

Bali- The Legian Bali

An Indonesian Island known as the famed Island of the gods and popular for its yoga and mediation retreats. The Legian has 67 understated suites, a 3 bedroom beach house and 14 private villas all within a tropical hideaway overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Dubai- Atlantis, The Palm

Glamorous and an over-the-top playground for the VIP's or simply those that want to live the VIP lifestyle for a few days. The hotel is themed on the myth of Atlantis which includes Arabian elements. Enjoy the famous Aquarium and waterpark when not enjoying the brilliant sunshine.
