Abel and Cole Cake Report

Posted by Techboy on Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I had the Abel and Cole Lemon Drizzle cake last week. It wasn’t bad, but didn’t have enough lemon flavour and had far too much sugar (I could feel the course grains, although it wasn’t unpleasant).

Yesterday I had the Coconut and Lime cake. This was really nice and had a balanced flavour.

I might have to get their Carrot cake to see how it compares to the one that Kevin made.

If you haven’t ordered from Abel and Cole before, I highly reccomend that you try them. Plus if you:

  • Register with them
  • Order something this July
  • Tell them that I (Paul Richardson from Milton Keynes) referred you

you will get a free Abel and Cole cookbook worth £8.99.
