Caketoppers Review & Giveaway
When we were contacted by the lovely people at Caketoppers and asked would we like to sample their cakes, it was a no-brainer that the answer would be a resounding YES!! If there’s one thing we love in this house it’s cake, and although I no longer get to eat it with being gluten-free, I had four very willing, and opinionated, children who were lining up to review the cakes for me
While we waited on our delivery, I browsed the Caketoppers website and was impressed by their extensive range of cakes, cupcakes and printed icing edible toppers. I can’t lie, baking really isn’t my speciality, and each birthday when the children ask for a specific cake design I can only hope and pray that it can be found in the local supermarket, and more often than not they have asked for something so obscure that I’ve had to disappoint them with something else.
The great thing about Caketoppers is that you can have anything at all printed onto the icing, any photo, logo or special message, which means that there will never be an occasion when you’re left disappointed. Whether, like me, you would prefer to avoid disaster and buy a ready made cake, or whether you simply wish to buy the cake topper to go on your own creation, there really is something for every occasion and having showed the girls the Disney Frozen Caketoppers selection, I know exactly which we will be buying for their next birthday.
When our cakes arrived I was more than impressed with the speed of delivery, next day in the UK, and also the packaging which meant that our cakes arrived intact and looking almost too good to eat. We loved that the cakes had my Five Little Doves logo on the top, the children were so excited to see a picture that they are so familiar with on a cake. “Wow that’s us!”, Eva exclaimed, and proceded to tell us how she was going to take a big bite out of Megan first.
With plain sponge, chocolate sponge and a thick layer of icing, the cupcakes were a huge hit with the children. After the first bite Megan announced that they were, “Delicious!” while Harry told us they were, “Much good!”. Lewis declared that his favourite were the chocolate cupcakes, something which Eva absolutely agreed with.
And although I only watched, salivating like a cake-deprived mad woman, I drew from my extensive cake knowledge, gleaned from watching Mary Berry on the GBBO, and concluded that the cakes looked moist, well baked and not a soggy bottom in sight! It comes as no surprise that Caketoppers supply to big shops such as Harrods, Selfridges, Waitrose and Fortnum & Mason, and for the quality received, the cost is extremely reasonable.
The exciting part is that you don’t just have to take my word for it. Caketoppers have offered my readers a 10% discount code to use on their website Caketoppers simply by entering FLD10 at the check-out.
And if that’s not enough, Caketoppers are also giving you the chance to win nine flower cupcakes in both plain and chocolate sponge, presented in a beautiful cerise pink gift box either for yourself or as a gift for a recipient of your choice. To be in with a chance of winning simply leave a comment telling me who you would most like to share your cupcakes with! Extra entries for those who share this post on social media with the hashtag #fivelittledovesgiveaway
The winner will be notified on Monday 3rd October. Be sure to check out my Five Little Doves facebook page for details of the winner.
Good Luck!!
*** We were gifted these cupcakes for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own. ***
After the afternoon I’ve had with my boys I would definitely hide under the duvet and devour the whole box to myself. Eeek am I terrible for not wanting to share ?
Haha not at all. If I wasn’t gluten free I’d have snaffled the lot!! xx
Oh my these look delicious! I would share them with the girls, whilst having a movie night under throws with the candles lit. I might have given this too much thought ha! X
That sounds perfect!! I don’t think I’ve had a night like that for a long time. I can but dream! xx
These are fab and look really good quality too! They’d be perfect for a party. #twinklytuesday
They really did appear to be. They went down a treat with my children which is rare as they usually eat all of the icing and leave the cake! xx
OOO yummy! These look great. I would share these with my little boy. He is a massive cake fiend!
Ahh fingers crossed for you then! xx
We tried a couple of these out a while ago and I was super impressed with the quality. If I won I would share with the family, but only begrudgingly… 😉 #triedtested
Haha if I wasn’t gluten free I wouldn’t have shared at all! xx
Those are really cute! Perfect for birthday parties. I do love the look of those little cakes 🙂
They are lovely aren’t they! I love things like this, they make the perfect gift too to send to others! xx
These look wonderful! I’m always buying cake toppers and one of our daughters turns 9 next month, so I’ll be heading over to check their website out. 🙂 #TriedTested
Ooh if you order don’t forget to use the 10% discount I posted. I’m going to order the Frozen toppers for my daughters 5th birthday, saves me all of the stress of trying to find the perfect cake! xx
These look great! Im wanting something like this for my daughters birthday party so will have to look into them 🙂 #TriedTested
These look great. I can;t say no to a cupcake! There looks to be a good layer of icing too (which we all know is the best bit!). I’d share the cakes with my daughter because it’s her birthday next week. #TriedTested
Yes the icing was lovely and thick which is always important! Ahh happy birthday to your daughter, fingers crossed for you! xx
We got sent some a few weeks ago and they were delicious!! I was really impressed!! # dreamteam
I’m definitely going to order the childrens birthday cake from here, saves a lot of time and stress! xx
We have tried some of these and the chocolate ones are amazing I am going to order some for the twins birthday.
Yes the chocolate ones were definitely the childrens favourite! They’re fab aren’t they! xx
So pretty! I love the look of the flower ones- perfect for birthdays!
Yes definitely, I’m going to be sending them as gifts from now on, so much easier than hitting the shops! xx
They look gorgeous. My eldest turns 4 in November, I can just imagine his face if he had cupcakes for his birthday with a picture of him on them! x #twinklytuesday
Aww yes children love seeing their faces on things they don’t expect to! Fingers crossed you win! xx
They are so cute! Almost too pretty to eat.
I know! I can’t wait to order more for their birthdays! xx
When are they going to send me some lol! I love caketoppers and this little cutie did as well judging by her face bless her!
Hehe she did! And her face wasn’t that clean by the time she had demolished it! xx
Who doesn;t love cake……they look delicious
Exactly! I don’t trust anyone who says they don’t eat cake!!! xx
This is a fab giveaway. Loving your photography too. The cake toppers look yum.
Thank you! I am assured by the children that they were truly delicious!! xx

I’d try to be the better person, resist keeping them for myself and sent to my little sister, who lives a long way from me, to remind her that I’m always thinking of her, and because I can’t pop round with my own baking as easily as I’d like
Ahh that is so lovely, you’re a better person than I am! xx

Thanks Bridie, they had a lovely thick layer of icing, I was salivating just watching the children eat them all. I miss cake!!! xx
I would share them with my beautiful boys for a yummytastic movie afternoon.
Sounds perfect! Good Luck! xx
I would take them up to hubby’s folks when we go up to hang out at the weekend, and hubby and I would share there with his parents, brother, and the family Labrador (if he gets his way!)
Haha I can just imagine the dog begging for a cake. Our dog loves cake, he sits beneath the children to catch all of their crumbs! Saves me from vacuuming! xx
I’d have to share them with my grandchildren or they’d never forgive me!
Haha that’s a very good reason to share them! Good luck! xx
I’d love to share these with my Mum as she loves cupcakes.
I think all mums do! Good luck! xx
Thanks for sharing, I am not a confident baker despite my 5 year old daughter insisting ‘mummy I love your cakes ‘ bless her even when they sometimes are a total fail! These look great for birthdays and would make nice gifts too. I would share with my daughter’s friends as they make her smile and look forward to school after previously being bullied at nursery it’s so nice she’s made some good friends and helped her confidence.
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about that, how awful that she has been subject to bullying so young. I’m so glad she has found some lovely friends, it sounds like they deserve a cupcake!! xx
I’d share with my workmates. They keep me giggling all day so they deserve a treat!

Haha that sounds like my children! Good luck! xx
“Much good”! Haha. These look great – your logo has come out really well hasn’t it? Would love to try some of these. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday.

Lovely review! I’ve not come across cake toppers before, but I’d definitely like to try them now. Especially knowing that they are so reputable in the market. If I won, I’d love to share them with my niece – she turns 14 this coming week and theres not a lot you can get teens for gifts these days and still be the “cool aunt” but I think these might just do the trick 😉 Fingers and toes crossed! Emily #KCACOLS
Cakes are always cool aren’t they? I’m always reluctant to try new things without a recommendation but considering my children never eat their cake, they only ever eat the icing, they wolfed these and asked for more! xx
I would most like to share my cupcakes with my mum 🙂 they’d be ideal treats when we’re sitting together in the afternoons watching quizzes!
I love afternoon quizzes! Good luck! xx
i’d share with my husband and daughter we love cake
Us too! Good luck! xx
I would love to share them with my friend Jenny, she has just arrived home from a cruise and we are so overdue a catch-up with cake and tea! xx
Oh how nice! Good luck! xx
I;d share it with my mum
Lovely. Good luck! xx
I would share it with my daughter who has torn abdominal muscles and as a dancer is feeling quite down.
Oh no! I hope she recovers well, good luck with the cakes! xx
yummy id share with my son
Good luck! xx
I would gift these tasty cupcakes to my girlfriend. 1. She loves baking! 2. She’s been a star looking after me this year in hospital and 3. It’s our anniversary coming up. Good luck everyone! Xx
Aww sounds like she deserves a treat! I hope you are feeling better. xx
Well being a single mum to 4, I would be able to share with my kids ♥♥♥♥♥
Ahh lovely, and sounds like you deserve a cake too! Good luck! xx
I would share these delicious cupcakes with my little girl! She loves cupcakes and she is really deserving. She has been extremely ill for a long time, resulting in hospital stays, scans, tests, blood tests and finally we have at long last a diagnosis. She is so brave, always smiling even when she is pain and is my little ray of sunshine…..who especially loves cupcakes!
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that Hayley, I’m so glad you have a diagnosis and I hope that she is feeling well again soon. Good luck! xx

Thanks Su. We really enjoyed reviewing them! xx
These look great. I love that you can have your blog logo on them x #KCACOLS
Fab aren’t they?! The children loved them! xx
I love that you had your blog logo on them! I probably would too. My daughter refuses to eat anything that looks/resembles/in some way related to any sort of icing/decoration/cream type frosting on a cake. So unfortunately I would have to eat them all myself! #kcacols

Oh that would be very unfortunate!! The things we do for our children, hehe! xx
I love that you had the logo on your cupcakes! They look absolutely delicious. Like, you, I’d be looking on in envy, but I think I’d be tempted to taste the icing at least! #KCACOLS
I did have a taste of the icing, I’m not that restrained!! It was so good too, lovely and thick which is a sign of a good cake in my eyes! xx
Wow these look great. Such a cool idea. Lovely that you chose the winner above, rightly deserved. #KCACOLS
