👍👍 I contacted Fantasy Cakes, looking for a cake for my partner's 30th birthday, and I couldn't have been happier from start to finish.

Snow White Bakery

Cafe

😠 The worst cake that I bought in my life! It was my first experience of buying cake from a local shop, but they converted it to the worst! Although I asked the seller if the cake is fresh, it was quite old, meaning it was cooked a few days ago! It was expensive too! I will never risk to buy a cake fr...
