My partner had a bad stomach after George's. Ive always been fine.Long time lurker, long time cake lover toolove all the suggestions made so far. We tried George's Bakery last year and we got ill later that day (might have been a total coincidence but coupled with his sweaty up close videos it's put me right off), wtfudge are amazing but so hard to get hold of?! Also tried urban fudge cos I got sick of waiting and that was really good. The Hedgehog Bakery are good for postal brownies and blondies etc and so is Bake for the soul if there's anyone with dietary requirements (my husband is gf so we can order a mix from there).
Oh and FB annoy the hell out of me, ended up unfollowing, I don't really like pages that show too much personal shit like kids and whatever. Each to their own I guess.
He really does freeze he can't make that much so early in the week and doesn't freeze it is why so many people are sick afterwardsI like following the girls and saw this thread when it all originally kicked off.
I don't follow Tessa but I hope she is still fulfilling her Dentistry dream.
I haven't ordered from FB because most thing seem to have bloody nutella or some sort of hazelnut spread in it.
I order a oh.my.cakery movie box... it was nice but the popcorn chocolate bar had too much popcorn crumbs in. I felt like I was picking out bits from my teeth for days! Scoop dog was lovely. Cookie had too much baking soda in it.
Just recently ordered from Doe... oh dear so greasy. Hardly any filling. Disappointed. Maybe fresh on the day rather than postal is better.
Finally got a George Bakery two weeks ago. I also had a stomach ache after!! I mean what are the chances?!?! I think his cakes look amazing but the postal just seems to make him money hungry (story last night saying how he doesn't freeze his goods yet it was mentionedhere beforehand)
If you do the Maths with him..
Approximately 900ish boxes a week, average price £30. Making £27k every sunday night. I admire his long hours and starting from from his small market stall, but getting a bit too big now. For example, 1 minute too busy to make videos. Now is realises about creator fund on TikTok, many videos being uploaded there!
I will say George's cakes are the same as FB in my opinion, dry afI like following the girls and saw this thread when it all originally kicked off.

I got a bakes box from doe.... Literally thrown in a box. They aren't even wrapped in a paper bag or plastic and just aren't packaged well at all! They are literally flying all over a box with a bit of paper over. And all 4 tasted the exact same lol I wouldn't order again put it that way.I like following the girls and saw this thread when it all originally kicked off.

That’s what finches have been like when I’ve got a mixed box. Bits of orange on the raspberry ones and white chocolate curls on others that shouldn’t be on thereI got a bakes box from doe....

I think you’re allowed if you wear glovesThey have acrylic nails on as well before pandemic obvs which you’re not meant to have in catering
No not even then. I used to be a chef and definitely wasn’t allowed. They are seen as unhygienic. It could be at the managers discretion ( which would be themselves ) asI think you’re allowed if you wear gloves
I don't think I've ever seen them wear gloves. Might be mistaken though.I think you’re allowed if you wear gloves
They wear gloves, I’ve seen loads of pics with gloves I think recently there are lots of pics without as they’re experimenting new recipes.I don't think I've ever seen them wear gloves. Might be mistaken though.
I can't see them giving away their brownie recipe and their cakes are the standard basic cake recipe.Will anyone be buying their book? Why pay through the nose for their products if you can make them yourself?
I‘ve pre-ordered the book written by Peter who won GBBO so I think I’ll give their book a miss.
