We love Christmas.

We also love cake.

And Christmas without cake is like Easter without chocolate– simply not right.

In fact, Christmas without chocolate is also just wrong!

So this year we have teamed up with a brand new supplier, The Original Cake Company, to spread even more seasonal cheer in our most popular festive gift packages.

Rather than our usual (but still yummy!) chocolate truffles, all our Christmas balloon-in-a-box gift packages this year came with a delicious mini festive chocolate cake instead.

With either a hand-decorated reindeer, snowman or Christmas tree design, whichever cake you find in the box is sure to hit the ‘sweet’ spot on Christmas morning.

Our Christmas gift packages start from just £114 and include either our festive helium balloon in a box and mini cake or, with our Luxury Christmas Gift Package, a wicker hamper with a bottle of sparkling wine and a box of chocolate truffles.

Based in Lincoln, The Original Cake Company has been baking up a scrumptious storm for more than 40 years.

All of their tasty cakes are baked in small batches, before being decorated and packaged by hand for that lovely personal touch.

As a trade supplier, their mini gift cakes are usually only available through selected independent retailers but now Virgin Balloon Flights is bringing their cakey goodness to our customers.
