We ship to mainland UK only as we want to make sure your cake arrives super quick and fresh. We only offer next day delivery (2 day delivery to Highlands) if the order has been placed before 2pm. We deliver Tuesday-Friday. You can also choose a future delivery date provided it falls between Tuesday-Friday.

Most of our cake is gluten free and we also have vegan products available.

We cannot guarantee your delivery will be put through a letterbox when ordering letterbox brownies. Our letterbox brownies have been designed to fit through a standard size UK letterbox: 242mm (w) x 30mm (h), however, not all letterboxes are standardised and DPD don't always post though the door. If more than 2 items have been ordered, the box size will change meaning it may be left at your door or delivered in more than 1 parcel. You can always add a safe delivery place when you order, you can choose to leave it with a neighbour.

Please read our T's and C's for more info.

No problem. You can choose a safe place for your delivery driver to leave your order, then collect it when you get home. It's really easy to do this, here's how: When placing your order DPD will send you a tracking link where you can add delivery instructions. DPD will also send you a delivery time window on the day so you'll know when to expect your brownie to arrive. Please note that our brownies have a very long shelf life and will keep fresh even if you have missed a delivery.

If you haven't left instructions and miss a delivery, DPD will either automatically deliver the next day or take your item to a neaby shop where you can collect it.

Your cakes will be fine at ambient temperature if you intend to scoff them within two days, otherwise they will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days. But they taste much better when eaten at room temperature.

My box is damaged/open: If this has happened, please get in touch with our customer care team with your order number and we will be able to get this sorted for you as soon as possible. If your brownie is a bit damaged, but still looks edible, we can highly recommend smashing it up and serving with a little ice cream or coconut cream to save it going to waste, we'll still send you another. Reach us by email at info@explodingbakery.com or call us on 01392 829787.

We don't make cakes to order or alter our ingredients or recipes. We only sell the tried and tested cakes from our price list. If you'd like to order cakes to be delivered at a venue, then please use one of our distributors (details on the cakes page). But order a day in advance to give the cakes time to thaw. Alternatively contact our friend Sara, who runs her own bespoke cake company in Exeter - www.saraspetitecuisine.co.uk

The main reason we do this is to protect the cake during transit and it ensures the cake arrives in one piece. Cake is very fragile. Freezing also preserves flavour and prolongs the shelf life without damaging the structure of cake. We can't tell the difference between a cake that's been frozen cake and one that's hasn't.

Our cakes are marked into portions as they come out of the oven. Because we gear our production towards cafes, farm shops & delis, the portion control makes it easier for the staff who work in these places.

Sorry. We can no longer service selling to the public directly, but please feel free to use one of our distributors. We also have slices of cake available to buy on the counter in the cafe.

Some of our distributors do. You can find their details on the Trade page.

Yes we do, we have a range of different Gluten Free cakes and some Dairy Free, plus Vegan cakes.

Tom comes from a long line of bakers and actually his relatives still bake in Sherborne. But many moons ago, his great granddad's bakery exploded due to a static build up from the flour particles rubbing together. Luckily we don't keep that much flour.
