Letterbox cupcakes upgrade#

You can upgrade to a 12-pack of doughnuts (2 of each flavour) and add a gift card or personalised message if sending a box as a present.Letterbox gifts have exploded over the last few years. We kept them in the fridge when it was hot and they lasted well for a couple of days. Our doughnuts arrived safely in the post, intricate decorations still intact. As an unexpected bonus, all the doughnuts in this box are vegan, and our testers would never have been able to spot this. The large doughnuts can be easily divided and shared - a solo one is quite the feat. Our favourite was the tangy 'Celime Dion', with a zesty lime glaze that was refreshingly less sweet compared to some of the others. Think 'Martini Kemp', 'Jamela Anderson' (a strawberry-shaped doughnut for an upgrade to the classic jam option) and 'Piña Turner'. We tested out the 'Happy Hour' box, with six doughnuts inspired by classic cocktails and pun titles to match. There's glazes, fillings and decorations galore for a colourful box of treats that make a great decadent gift. Available from Lola's Cupcakes, from £27.99 for 8ĭoughnut Time doughnuts are the epitome of indulgence.A treat for yourself, for a special occasion or for someone special. The Banoffee was another highlight - fluffy banana cake was topped with smooth mascarpone icing and hid a soft caramel centre. The cupcakes are baked fresh every day and are perfectly indulgent: the red velvet was our favourite, with generous tangy cream cheese icing and super soft cake.

A lot of effort has gone into the packaging to ensure it is both secure and not wasteful - there is a detailed guide to how to recycle the packaging and even a post label to return the packaging to Lola's for free so it can be reused. We tested out the 'Classic Cupcakes' selection - eight of their most popular flavours including Carrot, Chocolate Heaven and Salted Caramel. There are a range of cupcake boxes to choose from to send by post: go all chocolate or red velvet, or try a mixture of fruity or even vegan cupcakes. The newly launched nationwide delivery service means everyone can enjoy freshly baked cupcakes that arrive in impeccable condition. The thought of sending cupcakes in the post might conjure up images of smushed icing and squashed cake, but fear not, Lola's Cupcakes have you covered with no such problems. A great gift for vegan friends or family!Īvailable from Cake or Death (£18) Blondies’ Kitchen cookies and hot cookie dough

Plus our testers would never have known they were vegan. We tried the double chocolate cookies and the 10 resulting cookies were dense and fudgy, with just-crisp edges and brownie-like centres.

Another handy touch is the dough coming wrapped in branded baking paper for lining your tins. The box includes a clearly laid out method card with step-by-step photos: all you need to do is divide up the dough and shape into balls before baking.

Handily, the dough can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days if you’re not ready to bake yet. Arriving in the same signature cheerful pink leopard print box, the 500g blocks of cookie dough come in two flavours - double chocolate or chocolate peanut, or you can choose a mixture of both. It’s not just the epic vegan brownies above offered by Cake or Death - they now deliver vegan cookie dough too. In the unlikely event that you can’t finish them (trust us, you’ll want to), they’re freezeable for up to three months.Īvailable from Chococo (£14.50) Exploding Bakery letterbox brownies Studded with satisfying, chunky buttons of sweet, caramelised white chocolate and topped with crunchy cocoa nibs and Dorset sea salt, it's an excellent mix of soft and crunchy, sweet and salty.īoxed and wrapped up in completely plastic-free packaging, the brownie comes as one large slab, meaning it can be cut into as many as you like. Available in several different flavours, we particularly love the gold, cocoa nib & sea salt. Made with Chococo’s 67% Madagascan chocolate, they’re super chocolatey without being too dark or sweet, and the texture is meltingly soft and fudgy, like a good-quality flourless chocolate cake. Dorset-based chocolatier Chococo has been serving its squidgy chocolate brownies at its chocolate houses for several years, but now anyone can order them by post to enjoy at home.
