Staying indoors might sound daunting if your idea of fun is eating out and getting freshly baked goods, but food businesses are evolving with the times to keep your sweet tooth satisfied. Brownies, big American cookies and even cake – it can all be delivered to your door, where ever you are in the UK. Panic over. Stay safe, order your supply of desserts and enjoy them in the comfort of your own home…
Bake My Day By Jade
Buttery but with all the sweetness you want from white chocolate, Bake My Day By Jade does blondies in flavours that change every week. Sprinkles, glace cherries, jazzies and more white chocolate chips, these toppings make the blondies pop with colour or crunch, but the base is always gooey, fudgy and sumptuously soft all the way through. For classic chocolate, Bake My Day By Jade also does boxes with a surprise selection of brownies and blondies – best of both worlds.
Slabs: Weenie Bakes
With the belief that you shouldn’t have to settle for just one dessert, Weenie Bakes makes massive slabs with multiple layers. Expect brownies, crushed cookies, cookie dough and swirls of chocolate – stacked so high you can’t fit it in one mouthful. The cookies and cream slice starts with a cookie base, white chocolate chunks and Oreo biscuit pieces, which is then layered with a white chocolate brownie, cookies ‘n cream swirl and white chocolate ganache, finished off with white chocolate, Oreo crumbs and Hershey’s on top – it’s mad yet mindblowingly good. Weenie Bakes offers everyone’s favourite flavours (Kinder, Biscoff, Nutella, Oreo), just not as you’ve ever seen them before.
DIY Doughnuts: Doughnut Time
Fluffy with generous fillings and a combination of different toppings, Doughnut Time gives the decadent doughnuts a new home with DIY kits. Each kit contains piping bags, toppings and easy step-by-step instructions, letting you recreate favourites such as Sia Later (red velvet doughnut with buttercream frosting), biscoff (it’s vegan!) or get creative with all the colour (sprinkles, Smarties, yellow and pink glazes). For dough of a different kind, try the new melted twist kit – a doughnut twist designed for warming up in the microwave to make the chocolate bar melt inside. It’s always a good time…
Traybakes: Canning Bakes
A wide selection of brownies, bars and even slabs that can be personalized with a flavour of your choice, Canning Bakes shows how versatile traybakes can be – brimming with treats to deliver the flavour. Chocolate orange includes both Terry’s and orange smartie buttons, Jammie Dodger features the biscuit along with jam and white chocolate chunks, and Kinder embraces both bars – it’s just up to you where you want them. In a super moist brownie, a cookie bar that is both crunchy and soft, or a rocky road for all the chocolate, marshmallow fluff and crunch combined.
Treat boxes: Sugar Tits
For all the sass, sugar and surprise, Sugar Tits curates monthly changing treat boxes where branding is all part of the fun. A millionaire shortbread chocolate block dusted in edible gold, blueberry lemonade marshmallows in two shades, rice crispie bars dipped in a cake batter coating and golden pretzel caramel pots, everything is totally Instagrammable and on trend – which is why it’s loved by big brands, celebs and a loyal following of subscribers. If you can’t commit to a long-term relationship with desserts just yet, opt for a one-time purchase instead.
Cookie Cups: Jo’s Cake Co
Soft and chewy, small yet massive on flavour, the cookie cups from Jo’s Cake Co are perfectly formed to satisfy your sweet tooth in just a few bites. Flavours change every week, but expect four cookie cups studded with chocolate chips and filled with spreads (Malteaser, salted caramel or melted white chocolate), finished off with carefully chosen components for crunch (biscuits, pretzels or crushed nuts) – all crammed into one incredibly craveable treat.
Cake Jars: Auntie Annie Bakes
The solution to your cravings for cake, Auntie Annie Bakes packages a whole slice and more into generous-sized cake jars. Oreo and chocolate, apple crumble, Jammie Dodger or chocolate and Nutella, all the popular flavours are there and each layer is even more lavish than the next. Besides buttery-soft vanilla cake or deeply dark chocolate sponge, you’ll find an endless supply of frosting (including white chocolate!), sweet fillings (caramel or jam), and even toppings such as cake crumbles and whole Jammie Dodger biscuits. If you live for cake as much as for the frostings and exciting add-ons, the ratios here are completely on point.
Cake Pops: POP bakery
Standing tall, dressed for every occasion and stunning to look at, these cake pops have made appearances in Vogue, TV shows and weddings – that’s how special they are. Pop Bakery has closed custom orders for now, but there are some mixed sets and surprise dips guaranteed to make you smile. Think farm animals, champagne bottles (a different kind of pop) and food such as rainbow cakes, hamburgers and ice lollies – it’s crackly and sweet to start, with a rich, more-ish chocolate truffle at the core that makes you want just “one” more. Five minutes later and you’ve eaten a whole llama, pig and popcorn in one sitting. Oops.
Cookiewiches: Pudge’s Cakery
Not your average cookie sandwiches, Pudge’s Cakery creates cookiewiches that are seriously unique with a combination of spreads and secret sauces running through the middle. Two red velvet cookies studded with white chocolate chips and layered with silky cream cheese frosting, Pudge’s Cakery doesn’t stop there and packs the inside with your choice of Nutella or sticky-sweet, salted caramel sauce – it’s rich, indulgent and exactly what we need right now.
Chocolate: Chocsahoy
There are three types of chocolates: the bars you buy in the supermarket, the luxurious ones for special occasions, and made-to-order blocks brimming with creativity and sweet treats. Chocsahoy combines top-quality Belgian chocolate with corner shop essentials, creating bars with Double Deckers, smarties, Mars bars, chocolate jazzies and M&Ms – all on one celebratory slab that becomes crunchy, chewy, gooey and chock-full of colour. It’s called the Rainbowahoy, and it’s only here for a limited time.
Cookie Pies: 42nd East Bakehouse
Bowls, burritos and pies, 42nd East Bakehouse turns every meal into an indulgent delight where fudgy, soft cookie dough forms the base. A cookie dough bowl towered with toppings of your choice (including sauces), a Kinder Bueno-stuffed brownie baked into a soft cookie dough wrap, and cookie pie slices layered with Oreos and white chocolate – if you’re looking for traditional treats shop elsewhere. Even the cookie flavours hit hard with combinations such as Mars Nutella and Slutty, baked into dough that is gooey, soft and sweet like fudge.
Brownies: Bad Brownie
A drool-inducing smell of chocolate straight through the packaging, it’s a cheeky little taster for what’s to come. Small slices of seriously rich, moist indulgent brownies, that’s what Bad Brownie is best known for, but the bad ass team have recently stepped up their game online by offering a brownie bar in an alarmingly big size – 15cm long. It’s a dark chocolate slab – rich like ganache and more truffle-like in texture – with a layer of milk chocolate on top, which is then covered in Biscoff crumbs for crunch. Not bad at all.
Gluten-free Goodies: Eat’n’Mess
With a popular stall on Broadway Market and a sweet brunch café in Sevenoaks, Eat’n’Mess has gone from friendly face-to-face interactions to setting up a shop online – supplying gluten-free goodies to the whole of the UK. Pecan blondies with a caramelised cinnamon glaze (pure blondie bliss), chocolate chip cookie slabs layered with salted caramel (oh-so sticky), and one of my all-time favourite cookie sandwiches: chocolate chip cookies infused with orange and spread with light-as-air chocolate buttercream. You’d never any of these were gluten free.
Brownie Batter: Whimsical Kitchen
Reimagining childhood favourites and today’s trending treats, Whimsical Kitchen constantly brings out new colourful creations. Marshmallow-filled chocolate eggs, old-school sponge cakes, brownies bedecked in Top Twix Bars and fudge slices fused with flavours from Angel Delight, these are some of the quirkiest treats you’ll ever find online. There are even pots of brownie batter in dark AND white chocolate, aka spoonfuls of sprinkle-coated heaven.
Cake Pops and Popsicles: Popadoodledoo
Cake pops and popsicles might not be new but Popadoodledoo does them decidedly different. Covered in Belgian chocolate and decorated with features from unicorns, llamas and bears, these picture-perfect pops uncover sponges in forward-thinking flavours such as pink lemonade, caramelised orange or a must-try strawberry milkshake that masters the creaminess of the drink in cake form. A crackly layer of chocolate counterbalanced by a fudgy-soft interior that floods your mind with a refreshing flavour – choosing a design isn’t the hardest part after all.
Deep-dish Cookies: Elle’s Bakery
Deep dish cookies, a cookie with thick crunchy edges, a doughy inside and a spacious centre that provides room for fantastic fillings – Elle’s Bakery does them best. A Jammie Dodger Dodger deep dish cookie filled with white chocolate and chunky raspberry jam, or a Kinder-heavy kind with hazelnut spread and all the Kinder chocolate bars, everything becomes a melting of chocolate after popping them in the microwave for 20 seconds. Gooey and incredibly warming in the middle, yet still with a powerful crunchy bite – these deep dish cookies need to be eaten with a spoon to mop up the mess.
Treat Boxes: Oh My Cakery
For the indecisive, dessert-loving people, Oh My Cakery curates treat boxes with a bit of everything. These “Oh My Postables” sometimes follow a theme such as Get Shorty (all shortbread treats), but previous creations include pocket money millionaires (a gooey rich mars bar uplifted by a light chocolate-covered Rice Krispie base), slutty brownie (Oreos sandwiched between a brownie layer and perfectly soft cookie dough), cinnamon swirl blondie (a moist, marzipan-like base swirled with white chocolate icing and cinnamon), a caramel egg-stuffed cookie (surrounded by funfetti for added fun), and a whole slice of funfetti cake layered with cookie dough and white chocolate frosting. All of that in one box – OH MY indeed.
Cheesecakes: English Cheesecake Company
Delivering whole cheesecakes to your front door, English Cheesecake Company does the most decadent desserts that are all pre-sliced, perfectly creamy and frozen for you to defrost piece by piece. Cheesecakes sandwiched between chocolate fudge and red velvet sponge, traybakes studded with honeycomb pieces or a banoffee-millionaire mash-up, if you can’t choose there’s always the option to order the minis – twelve flavours to feast on whenever you want. Light as air with a crumbly, biscuit base, they’ll be gone before you know it.
Caked Up Cookies: Sugar High Desserts
Dreaming of California and all-American desserts, Sugar High combines cookies with cakes and brings buckets of sunshine to the UK. Regular cookies on the menu are not so regular at all, made of half chocolate chip dough and half brownie dough (the Bad & Brookie), filled cookies come with Oreos in the batter and as a whole inside (Cookies & Cream), and Caked Up cookies are a whole new hybrid hitting that sugar high. Part cake pop and part cookie, these massive rounds are coated in chocolate, sprinkled with colourful toppings and stuffed with a super soft cake pop in the centre. Chocolate cake, red velvet or blissfully sweet birthday cake joined by white chocolate chunks, take your taste-buds on a Californian road trip without even leaving the front door.
Blondies and Brownies: Brownie Heaven
Bite-sized beauties made from Belgian milk or white chocolate, Brownie Heaven puts as much focus into brownies as their white chocolate counterpart – blondies. These sweet squares are compact and perfect in portion with the amount of richness given as reward. Think blondies blended with ground almonds and sandwiched with raspberry jam (inspired by Bakewell pudding) or baked twice with cinnamon sugar, caramel and Caramac (like a cinnamon bun but better), as well as blondie-brownie mash-ups combining a bit of both. This really is Brownie Heaven.
Dessert Starter Kits and Snack Bags: Chin Chin Ice Cream
Creators of liquid nitrogen ice cream, Chin Chin hasn’t found the solution for posting exceptionally smooth scoops just yet but the new starter kits bring their stand-out desserts to your home. Choose from the Instagram-famous hot chocolate towered with marshmallow fluff, or the griddled cookie dough with a gooey, steaming-hot inside that you can now recreate in your kitchen. Chin Chin also ships all the addictive add-ons, from cinnamon toast to truffle crumble or white chocolate chunks that are grilled until fudgy – eat them straight from the bag or add them as toppings to your chosen treat.
Cakes: Victoria Yum
Introducing Yum By Post, London-based cake-making queen Victoria Yum now ships boxes of seriously yummy goodies to everywhere in the UK. The new cake boxes contain a changing selection of the bakery’s signature bakes, like lemon drizzles, banana breads or bite-sized cakes sandwiched between cream cheese – it’s not ideal for control freaks but Vicoria Yum’s cakes are continuously sumptuous, with fluffy sponges and fruit-packed frostings that can be made vegan too. If you want to know exactly what you’re getting, opt for the brownies – best described as rich slabs of dark chocolate ganache wrapped around layers of Biscoff spread or salted caramel.
Brookies: Buzzy Bee Bakery
Buzzy Bee Bakery is back in business, taking orders for brookies that combine the crunch of a cookie with a gooeyness of a brownie. Follow them on Instagram for the next announcement of flavours, but expect caramel Galaxy or homemade strawberry jam stuffed inside New York-style cookie chunks, made for microwaving to achieve a brilliant bundle of softness. There’s one brookie that deserves a crown: Caramac sprinkle, a river of melted caramelised white chocolate flowing through a buttery white chocolate brookie covered in sweet sprinkles – it will leave you buzzing for more.
Cookie Dough: Naked Dough
Is there anything more comforting than spooning out cookie dough from the mixing bowl? The answer is yes, because Naked Dough makes the raw stuff safe to eat with a top-secret recipe that can be shipped while you’re cozy at home. Buttery, piled into pint-sized tubs and no baking required, flavours include Emoji Poos (vanilla dough with chocolate chips), Nak-ed Sheeran (salted caramel dough with honeycomb) or the real love of your life, I-Dough (vanilla dough with white chocolate chips). You can even make your own dough – no eggs or skill required, just butter and milk – with a pouch that gives you eight portions of happiness. Naked Dough delivers across the UK, and the code HOTSPOT15 will give you 15% off your order.
Cake Flower Pots: The Botanical Baker
Desserts disguised as plant pots, The Botanical Bakery reimagines cakes into completely edible flowers and trees. Break through the terracotta-looking pot, which is actually made from a clever combination of Belgian chocolate and Asian bean paste, to unveil layers of perfectly soft chocolate sponge, creamy chocolate mousse and dark chocolate ganache. It’s mind-blowing all the way through, from the flowers formed of sugar and skill to the pot that tastes like chocolate to the cake with all its contrasting textures – soft, creamy and thick. Believe it or not, Botanical Bakery delivers flourpot cakes to anywhere in the UK.
Pies & Cookies: A Pie Party
From taking a prominent position at London markets to starting an online shop, A Pie Party now brings the life of the party – aka dessert – to your home. Whole pies brimming with blueberry jam, pecans or Biscoff brownie, as well as cookies the size of scones. Enjoy a double chocolate chunk filled with Nutella in the centre, or a hearty walnut cookie studded with chocolate chips. Put your pyjamas on, pre-heat the oven and let the party begin.
Brownies: Outsider Tart
An all-American bakery-meets-diner in Chiswick, Outsider Tart does things decidedly different than the rest of London. Portions are massive, pancakes come in countless ways (buttermilk baked with blueberries inside, quinoa and freekeh flapjacks or cornmeal with berry jam) and sixteen types of seriously rich brownies can be sent for postage in amounts of 1 or 12(!), because why the hell not? Choose from brownies swirled with cheesecake or Nutella, sandwiched with chewy oatmeal cookies, or stacked high with a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough on top – there’s enough to last you until the rest of the year.
Cake Jars & Fudge: Jack’s Bakery
Every Sunday Jack’s Bakery sets up a stall inside Brick Lane Upmarket, but you can get all the cake jars and fudge slices delivered for the remaining days of the week. Flavours are a mix of grown-up classics (chocolate mint or Victoria sponge) and childhood favourites (fudge with Smarties, Jammie Dodgers or pieces of Crunchie), so you can easily shop a supply for the whole family. Order wisely though, because the fudge is far too creamy and addictive to share.
Cookies: Dollies Cookies
Chunky, gooey and chock-full of fun ingredients, Dollies Cookies delivers American-style cookies just like the ones in New York. The line-up ranges from classic chocolate chip to deeply rich dark chocolate chunks, infused with biscoff spread, covered in a mountain of fluffy marshmallow or sprinkled with funfetti. Best to try them all.
Cupcakes: Crumbs & Doilies
Whether you’re a loyal Youtube subscriber or frequent customer of the shop in Soho, Crumbs & Doilies has now launched brilliant cupcake-baking kits for you to use at home. Choose from vanilla, chocolate or red velvet (vegan and gluten-free options available), watch Cupcake Jemma on screen and add an endless supply of sprinkles – to your life and frosting. Crumbs & Doilies ships across the UK and Europe!
Fudge: Fudgelicious
Fudge but not as you know it, Fudgelicious makes melt-in-your-mouth slabs that know no limits. Find all your favourite corner shop chocolate like Munchies, Rolos or Caramac, broken to pieces inside or placed fully-intact on top. Better yet, find a fudge that does both and get it delivered ASAP.
Cookies: Kahuna Cookie Co
Another day, another cookie crammed with inventive mix-ins. Kahuna offers a mouthwatering menu of cookies such as Stroop Dogg (stroop waffles baked in the dough and on top), Strawberry Cream (dotting with freeze-dried raspberries) and even a donut-inspired cookie covered in a pink glaze. For your next Netflix snack, try the Movie Night cookie made with toffee popcorn and melted chocolate. Kahuna Cookie Co ships across the UK.
Traybakes & Cake Truffles: Cutter & Squidge
Best-known for biskies and potion-themed afternoon teas, Cutter & Squidge also does a selection of sweets that can be shipped across the UK. Traybakes and truffles, they are all mini morsels of joy that showcase the flavours Cutter & Squidge crams into those dreamy-looking layer cakes. Blueberry lemon, vanilla with strawberry, chocolate hazelnut, or a slice of caramel crunch pie baked with a biscuit crust base and brown sugar vanilla custard – it’s chewy, sweet and crispy.
