Disappointing

2 stars

This was very disappointing. it said it was moist sponge but it was far from it, very dry and tasteless. The topping was average, the best part was the filling. Bought it as a friend was coming round, we both were disappointed so only two slices were used the birds had the rest, they didn't comment!

WOW! WHATTA CAKE! MMMMMMM Delicious x

5 stars

Beautiful. And if there was any problem’s, then I didn’t notice x WOW WHATTA CAKE! And I’m no ‘cake expert’ but I wasn’t expecting the filling to be like that, WOW. I’ll have to tear myself away from ‘repeat’ orders of ‘this’ treat! Serves 6? To be honest I do not know. As only I, had had it a few times in a row.... Mmmmm ‘i’ Wasn’t disappointed 🤚, and cannot note any faults apart from (1) it was hard to put down (2) it’s not here now. Mmmmmm at the memory 🧐🤔🤚 So I did order it again since first trying it, and another for a friend’s Birthday table. Thank you for this creation Tesco

Disappointing

1 stars

Very dry and “claggy”. Also the icing was very thin, therefore a rather unpleasant cake, unlike others I buy from the bakery. Will stick to the lemon drizzle, carrot and salted caramel in future.

You can do better Tesco!

We’ve had high hopes for this beautifully packed red velvet cake, unfortunately couldn’t have been more disappointed. We’ve tried various red velvet cakes over the years however the cake itself was borderline dry and lacked flavour. Sadly, Tesco Finest Red Velvet cake has nothing in common with traditional red velvet cake, furthermore why ruin it by adding layer of Belgian chocolate buttercream was beyond us. You can do better Tesco!

As bad as it looks - Vile lurid horrible

1 stars

Vile! Substitute in online order for white chocolate cake. Would not have ordered it as it’s a dark chocolate cake with tasteless icing. AVOID!

Not good, dry sponge, hard frosting.

1 stars

I've purchased the other flavours of Tesco Finest Cakes and really liked them but the red velvet cake was not good, The sponge was extremely dry, the frosting was not creamy but a thin hard layer. I was really disappointed, not at all enjoyable. It actually tasted like a cake that had been left out in the air for a week. Needless to say it ended up in the food recycling bin.

serves 6? think it serves 1! me!
