From Our Oven to Your Door
Whether you’re a die-hard brownie lover, a cookie connoisseur, or partial to the buttery bliss of millionaire’s shortbread, there’s one thing that unites all our postal bakes - the care, love, and craftsmanship that goes into each and every bite. At The Eggless Baker, we’re proud to deliver indulgence straight to your doorstep. But what does that process actually look like? Come behind the scenes and discover how your treats go from our oven to your door - perfectly packaged, perfectly fresh, and 100% eggless. Quality Without Compromise It all starts with ingredients you’d be proud to have in your own kitchen: rich Belgian chocolate, creamy caramel, hand-mixed dough, and the finest egg-free alternatives we can find. We don’t use shortcuts or strange substitutes - just smart recipes and proper baking know-how. Whether it's our fudgy brownies, chunky NYC-style cookies, or silky millionaire’s shortbread with that perfect snap, everything is handmade in small batches to ensure flavour and freshness. Handmade, Hand-Cut, Hand-Finished Every tray of brownies is baked with precision. Our cookies are lovingly hand-scooped to get that thick, gooey centre and golden edge. Our cakes are made in layers - sponge base, buttercream made with real butter and double cream , and a gooey jam or curd. All encased within a smooth buttercream layer. Nothing leaves our kitchen without passing the taste and texture test. If it’s not good enough for our own families, it’s not going in your box. Packed With Purpose Postal treats need to look just as good when they arrive as they do when they leave us. That’s why we’ve developed packaging that’s designed to keep your bakes safe and scrumptious. Each order is wrapped in food-safe, eco-friendly materials, then boxed securely to withstand the journey. We even add heating tips - because everyone deserves a warm cookie moment now and again - and personalised notes when requested, to give your gift that extra wow-factor. Fast, Tracked Delivery We bake and send Monday through Thursday using Royal Mail Tracked 24®, so your goodies reach you promptly. Place your order before midday and we’ll aim to dispatch the very same day. You’ll get tracking info as soon as they’re on the move, so you can countdown to delivery day. Whether you’re sending a gift, stocking up for a cosy night in, or fuelling a Friday office treat, our postal bakes are designed to arrive fresh, fabulous, and ready to devour. Your Moment of Joy When that box finally lands on your doorstep, the rest is up to you. Will you warm the cookies and dunk them in milk? Slice your brownies into neat squares (or eat straight from the slab)? Share the brownies… or keep them all to yourself? However you enjoy your treats, we hope they bring a little joy to your day - because that’s what baking is all about.

Behind the Design: Creating Our Custom Cakes
At The Eggless Baker, our custom celebration cakes are more than just dessert, they’re edible works of art, made to mark life’s biggest (and smallest) moments. From unicorns and rainbows to elegant florals and textured finishes, each cake is one-of-a-kind; just like the person it’s made for. But what actually goes into bringing a cake design to life? Let us take you behind the scenes, from inspiration to icing. Step 1: The Spark of an Idea It all starts with you. Whether you have a fully-formed vision or just a vague Pinterest board, we’ll help shape your idea into something beautiful and bakeable. Some customers come to us with colour palettes and themes (think: soft pastels for baby showers, rich golds for milestone birthdays), while others say simply, “I want something special, do your thing!” And we love both. We’ll ask questions like: What’s the occasion? Who’s the cake for? Any favourite flavours? Any dislikes (no coconut, please!)? From there, the magic begins. Step 2: Sketching and Planning Once we understand your vibe, we begin sketching ideas and selecting textures and finishes, from ombré buttercream to piped rosettes or gold leaf accents. We’ll also decide on the size and structure — one tier or two? Tall and elegant or short and sweet? Every detail matters, including how the cake will travel (yes, we think of everything!). And don’t worry if you’re not sure what you want - we’ve created hundreds of designs and can offer inspiration if you’re feeling stuck. Step 3: Baking the Foundation No matter how pretty a cake looks, it has to taste amazing. Every custom cake is baked fresh using our signature eggless sponge: light, moist, and endlessly versatile. Flavours range from classic vanilla or chocolate to Oreo, Lotus Biscoff, raspberry ripple, and more. We bake, layer, and level each cake with precision, ready for decorating the next day once fully cooled. Step 4: Decorating With Love (And Buttercream) This is where the cake really comes to life. Whether we’re hand-piping buttercream flowers, painting edible gold, or placing fondant details, it’s all done by hand, with care and creativity. We often use textured buttercream techniques, think swirls, waves, ruffles, or floral palettes, to make your cake feel truly special. And yes, we can add custom toppers too! This step can take hours depending on the detail, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Step 5: The Big Reveal We package each cake with great care, whether it’s being collected or delivered. And the best bit? Seeing your reaction. Whether it’s a gasp, a happy tear, or a message saying “They loved it,” your joy is why we do what we do. Because Every Occasion Deserves a Beautiful Cake Birthdays, engagements, baby showers, anniversaries, graduations - whatever the reason, we believe every celebration deserves something sweet, thoughtful, and made with love. Our custom cakes aren’t mass-produced. They’re personal, purposeful, and proudly eggless.

Sustainability in the Kitchen
At The Eggless Baker, we believe that small changes can lead to big impact, not just in baking, but in the way we treat the planet. From the ingredients we choose to the packaging we use, sustainability has always been part of our journey. After all, creating indulgent treats shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. Here's how we’re working to keep our bakes kind - to you and the earth. Thoughtful Ingredients We start with ingredients that are kinder by nature. Our recipes are 100% eggless, which already reduces our reliance on animal agriculture. But we go further by sourcing plant-based, cruelty-free, and where possible, locally produced ingredients to reduce our carbon footprint. We also choose high-quality chocolate and cocoa from suppliers who support ethical farming practices, because great flavour shouldn’t come at the expense of people or the planet. Planet-Friendly Packaging We’re constantly reviewing our packaging to make sure it's doing its job without damaging the environment. Our boxes are recyclable where possible and made from responsibly sourced materials. We use paper-based wrapping for our bakes to keep things fresh and fuss-free. Any filler we use to protect your treats in transit is biodegradable because broken brownies are sad, but so is landfill. We’re also testing compostable stickers and tape wherever possible so watch this space! Small Batch, Low Waste All our bakes are made to order in small batches, meaning less waste and less overproduction. We don’t bake for shelves. We bake for you — so everything that leaves our kitchen has a purpose and a name on it. Leftovers? They’re rare. But when we do have a few extra bakes, we donate them locally or offer them as surprise extras in treat boxes. Conscious Delivery Choices We send our postal treats via Royal Mail Tracked 24®, which has a lower carbon impact than same-day couriers or private van services. It’s not perfect but it’s a better choice for now, and we’re always looking for ways to do better. We also encourage local customers to collect their orders where possible, which helps reduce emissions and gives us a chance to say hello! A Work in Progress We’re proud of the steps we’ve taken, but we’re not finished. Sustainability is a journey, not a destination and we’re always learning. Next on our list?
