Mr KiplingFamily Battenburg Cake 225g

These have gotten MUCH SMALLER over the years but it is a real treat and brings back lots of memories

You can’t beat the full size cakes, and they are tough to find in the US! A very good value considering how far they have to travel and how hard they are to find. I buy them and freeze them and they thaw out perfectly when you are ready for them.

Just like I remember it. Very nice cake for being a mass produced product. However, I cannot justify the cost, being that in a shop it is a fraction of the price charged here. Nevertheless I enjoyed reliving the taste memories 😋.

This cake is my favorite British treat, next to Christmas pudding and Bakewell tarts! I was thrilled to receive my package days before Easter, only to be disappointed and frustrated that my cake was nearing the expiration date I received it March25 and it expired 19 April)) and it was clear the color had yellowed more than its usual color. I reached out to see if they would replace it with a fresh cake or just refund my money. I sent them photos of my cake and they insisted the date was fine and the cake was good. I opened it on Easter and it was dry and not up to Mr Kipling s standards. My first thought was that it expired in 2019, but they insisted it was 19th of April, it did not have a 4 digit year printed on the package, therefore I am skeptical. I was really looking forward to this sentimental treat for my children and myself, especially since my Mum bought this every holiday for us and she just passed away. It had more meaning this time around and we weren’t able to enjoy it. I threw it in the trash since they wouldn’t replace it for me. Lesson learned..ask what their expiration date is on the item you are purchasing.

Great cake and does the job with a cuppa tea!

As a long time Anglophile, I’d been wanting to try the Battenberg cake I’ve heard referenced in some of my favorite British shows. Yes, the shipping takes some time, but it arrived very fresh and well within the “best by” date. It was nice with a cup of tea, and well worth the cost for a fun experience and a pretty little cake! Would purchase again.

Very tasty, but much smaller than they used to be.

I can only say that this was entirely mediocre for the price. The marzipan was gritty and had a flour taste. Took too long to arrive.
