Thank you all so much for the amazing 25th Wedding Anniversary cake that I collected from you shop last Thursday 29th August, it was absolutely beautiful! We was everything we asked for, perfect!

My 50th Birthday cake was immense, not only was it crafted perfectly it was beautiful cake too. Moist and tasty cake, some bakers go all out for show and produce a lacklustre cake but Dinkin’s did not do this, they produced an outstanding artistic cake which everyone loved. Seriously, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a celebration cake now. If it’s not Dinkin’s then it’s not right. It was spot on on price point too (so my wife says) again you can pay more and get so much less. The cake was sturdy enough to be flown back to England too. Just perfect.

Eat here quite a bit ...staff are so friendly and kind. All the girls are hard workers and keep smiling even in difficult situations, dealing with the public is never easy. So thank you girls ( you all know who you are )
