Very nice cakes

One of the things I like about Too Good To Go is the opportunity to try out new places without spending a fortune.  I was in Bristol and there was a bag for Anna Cake Couture for £4 for a £14 value. I got 24 macarons and a cake in my box. 

This has a retail value of £57. Not bad for four pounds. 

Yes the macarons are slightly less than perfect from a looks perspective, but taste fantastic.  The cake was an end piece. However I was expecting that from the description.  If you don’t like macarons then this isn’t the bag for you. Delicious patisserie. You can see why they have a rating of 4.9 out of 5.

Dashing Cakes

I use the TooGoodToGo app quite a bit, more so when I am in London, as there are many more options available. However it can be a bit hit and miss. For example, last year I had a fantastic bag from Cord Cafe on Fleet Street. In that bag I got a cherry croissant, a baguette, and a brioche. Last week when I saw they had a bag on offer, I thought great, that’s breakfast for tomorrow sorted. However in this bag I got a salad, an asparagus pastry, and a sausage roll.

Last month in London I was staying close to Olympia and I looked at the TooGoodToGo app and Dash Cakes on Kensington High Street had a magic bag deal.

I got four cupcakes, a fruit tart, a macaron, and a chocolate gâteau slice. The bag cost just £3.39. I was well impressed, and all the cakes were delicious. I am not that big a fan of cupcakes, especially biscuit cup cakes, even so these were scrummy cupcakes.

The fruit tart and chocolate gâteau slice were excellent, as was the macaron (even if it was blue).

I was really impressed with the quality and quantity of cakes, and I certainly would not just use the TooGoodToGo app with them again, I would also pay full price for their cakes as well.
