Sweet Tree By Browns Mother’s Day Smash Cake Review

Reviewed by Shetho

The product arrived very quickly, it was packed in a large box marked fragile and delivered by Royal Mail. Inside the outer packaging was lots of bubble wrap to cushion the contents, with a smaller cake box containing the product. The cake arrived safely and in one piece. The Belgium milk chocolate cake was beautifully presented on a 9” silver cake board and wrapped in cellophane hand tied with a pink satin ribbon. The cake was 8” in diameter and decorated with the words “Happy Mother’s Day” piped in white chocolate and an assortment of chocolates including Ferraro Roche, Lindor Strawberry Cream, Terry’s Chocolate Orange segments, strawberry hearts, pink icing rosebuds and a huge very thick and chunky chocolate heart covered in gold. The overall appearance was luxurious and pretty. When I opened the cellophane the smell of the chocolate was divine. A feast for the senses indeed. As this is a ‘Piñata’ smash cake, the smashing was a very important feature.

The instructions included said to use a mallet or wooden spoon to crack it, but I just used my fist. It was such a satisfying crack and fabulous to see the contents spill out. Children would be thrilled with this, although there may be arguments over who gets to do the smash. The filling was a mixture of chocolate buttons, Maltesers and Smarties. At first I didn’t think there was much inside, but having emptied the contents into a tub I realised there was an abundance of chocolate hiding inside which will last me for a long time. Naively I thought there would be cake too, but this was not the case. Only when the cake was smashed did it become apparent just how thick the top coating of chocolate was. At some points it is 1/2 an inch thick. The chocolate was creamy and delicious and a real luxurious treat on the palate.

This cake would make a lovely feature for the table of a Mother’s Day celebration and children and chocoholics would love it. The cake can be ordered for birthdays, anniversary’s, Valentine’s Day, Easter and other occasions and can be personalised especially for you or your loved one with a hand written message up to 25 characters including their name for an additional £5.
