Has anybody else noticed that the Fabulous Baker Boys cakes have gone down in quality? Admittedly, they're still only a pound a box, but recently I've noticed icing that wouldn't cover a 2p coin, cakes that were not sealed, pink iced cakes with suspect brown pieces immersed in the icing, and 1 cake completely green and mouldy!

Perhaps the manufacturers have cottoned on that even reject reject (sic) ones have a price!

Why do you think they were rejected in the first place?:rolleyes:

We received our 4th order today and I can't praise AF or the DHL delivery driver that delivered our order enough.

We were out for the day so left a note asking for parcels to be left in the garage, which the driver did. It arrived in great condition, no damage to the box or anything.

As for the items in the box they couldn't have been better packed if Dan and co had tried. Everything was neatly packed into boxes, items wrapped in bubble wrap where needed and other spare bits of cardboard placed between boxes.

The items all looked great and we can't wait to tuck into the maccaroni chesse and I'm sure the chickens and ducks will love the dry soup mix. We did have one substitution which was the tins of mints had sold out so we ended up with the equivalent price made up in skittles, but that's fine by us as we all love them lol.

Dan and team a huge thank you to you, you have two happy customers here (again) lol!!! xxxx

this is where children (and adults) need educating about the difference between best before, use by and sell by dates one unexpected bonus of buying from af is that my children and i have had many useful discussions about food.

I just wanted to say that I put off ordering from approved foods because of everyone on here complaining about slow delivery.

I just made my first order on sunday night and received it this afternoon. I am very impressed, got everything I wanted and it all arrived in perfect condition.
