Holding a surprise birthday party but missing the cake? Or are you just like me, who would very much prefer to have your cake delivered to your doorsteps?
Taking the bus with an 8 inch whole cake in my hands, no thanks!

Last minute whole cake for a midnight birthday surprise, CHECKED!
And after wrecking my brain over the huge selection of cakes they have, I finally decided to try out their 6" Blueberry Elderflower Cake!
A unique combination of elderflower and blueberry, perfect for those who enjoy a light, floral flavour.
A decent amount of not-too-sweet blueberry jam layered in between fluffy vanilla sponge cake that's a tad dry, and then slathered in an unbelievably thick layer of cream, which I reckon to be Elderflower infused but so subtly that I didn't really taste any hint of it.
As you can see from the cut section, I really wasn't exaggerating when I said that the cream layer is overly thick. While I guess it's serves to complement the slightly dryness of the sponge cake, it also created a lot of heaviness and just make the cake too cloying and oily for my own preference.
I ended up needing to scrap away most of the cream and only eating the sponge cake and blueberry jam in the middle.
Well, if you're a huge fan of eating sweeten cream on its own, I guess this would be your jam.
Can't deny that the cake looks super pretty though!
I've previously tried their Yuzu Osmanthus Cake (I guess you can tell my cake preferences) and it was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I have to say that this Blueberry Elderflower, albeit looking a lot prettier, didn't meet my expectation. I guess the Yuzu Osmanthus has set the bar a little too high, even my parents and my grandma loved that cake.
And with Mother's Day coming up next month, Dig In Cakes also have some pocket-friendly cake and flower bundle for y'all to surprise your Moms!

Till then,
