How a treat box is put together
You pick roughly what you want in it and I fill the box from the three lists above. Most people ask for a mix and leave the choosing to me, which I am happy to do if you tell me one thing they love and one thing they would not eat. Everything is baked for the order, so the box arrives made the way you asked.
A gift that doesn't need anyone to be in
The box is designed around the standard UK letterbox and posts like a large letter, so it lands on the mat while they are at work. Write me a message and I'll tuck it in with the bakes. There is never an invoice in a gift box.
For the weeks that need it
Treat boxes go to new parents, to people recovering from something, to friends who have had the kind of week where a text is not enough, and to offices where somebody has quietly held everything together. It is a small thing to send and it arrives as a bigger one.
What is on the label
Every box carries a full ingredient and allergen label to UK requirements, with a best-before date on it, so you know exactly what you are eating and when to eat it by.
Everything is baked in a home kitchen where all 14 major allergens are present, including nuts. Allergens & ingredients
The other letterbox gifts
Letterbox treats, answered
What is in a letterbox treat box?
A mix of brownies, thick-cut cake slices and cookies, chosen from Sploffin's letterbox menus and packed flat in one slim box. You choose the split, or tell me what they like and I'll pack it for you.
Can I send a treat box as a gift with a message?
Yes. Add your message when you order and it goes in the box. Gift boxes never contain an invoice.
Can you avoid a particular ingredient?
Tell me what to leave out and I'll pack around it where I can. Everything is baked in a home kitchen where all fourteen major allergens are present, so for a severe allergy, talk to me before you rely on the box.
Boxes are baked to order in Peterborough and posted anywhere in the UK. If you are local and would rather collect, that is the pastries and pies side of the kitchen.
