    I expect they are made after they are bought, which is why the delivery estimate is so long. Rather overpriced though!

    Tesco don't do mail order nor do they use Organic ingredients. If I was going to buy a cake (which I wouldn't) I'd stick with the organic one (though a cheaper one) not the tesco one full of carp.

    Why don't you give it a go it's not exactly rocket science. In this modern era men are allowed to bake.;)

    I don't buy cakes, I just make them.
    I'm not bothered about organic as long as the eggs are free range, I just put that link on as a bit of a price comp.
    M&S do a very big one for £15.

    I gave this a try yesterday and it's lovely,

    Please don't tell me you're so stupid you think it'll be in the post for 10 days or more.

    I could bake a cake at 9am in the morning, have it picked up by 3pm the same day and it be at your house by 9am the following morning, barely 24hrs old.

    She should be registered as a food business, and inspected by her local authority... .and given scores on the doors for her food hygiene....
