How to Order the Right Cake for You
When choosing the perfect cake for your special occasion, there can be a lot of factors to consider. We have compiled a list of questions that will help guide you and make your decision easier.
- What is the occasion you need the cake for?
For example is it a birthday cake, a christening or baby shower cake, an anniversary cake, a retirement cake, a graduation cake, a cake for a hen party or is it a wedding cake you need? Once you know what occasion you need the cake for is, then our cake specialists can give you ideas and go through suitable options with you.

- What type of cake do you like?
We have so many delicious cake options for you to choose from such as:
- Homemade madeira (iced all over and filled with layers of buttercream and jam). Very popular choice as this cake cuts well, keeps well, doesn’t need refrigerated and

Ever seen a tractor made from cake? Ever eaten Peppa Pig? Well you can, if you go for one of our handcrafted novelty cakes, tailored to your special requests.

- Try our homemade gateaux for a great cake option that also doubles up as a dessert option. A great cost effective option that ticks two boxes and saves you time and money. Choose from our famous chocolate strawberry gateaux or our black forest cherry gateaux (made from chocolate sponge cake, fresh cream & fruit) or choose our light & airy pear or mandarin gateaux (white sponge, fresh cream and fruit).
- Finally last but not least try our AMAZING Belgian chocolate Rocky Road Biscuit cake. This is such a popular cake option for teenagers and
is a great choice for one of your tiers if you are going for more than a one tiered cake. Rocky Road Belgian Chocolate Biscuit cake is a great cake choice as it cuts well, keeps well and it is popular with kids and adults of all ages.
- How many people do you need it for?
This will dictate the size you need. Remember you may want to have cake left over to eat the next day or give out to people to take home to enjoy the next day. Indeed you may want to give out cake to people who were unable to attend the event so they can enjoy the delicious cake at home. We do a wide variety of cake sizes to cater for all events and numbers – even hundreds of guests!
- Would you like to personalise your cake in any way? Our team of talented cake specialists love adding the special finishing touches to really make your cake special. We can put on edible icing transfers on top of your cake, we can make handmade cake decorations from icing or we can add a claydough cake topper to really give your cake the WOW factor. Think about the interests and hobbies that the person you are getting the cake for likes. For example do they like gardening, sports, cartoon characters, etc. If so we can make special handmade cake decorations and cake toppers that really add the special finishing touch to your cake.
