About this cake
Themed cakes are for celebrations where the design needs to tell the story straight away. They are popular for kids' birthdays, football and gaming cakes, baby showers and bold adult celebrations where the theme matters as much as the flavour.
Best when
The theme, name, age or character needs to be obvious at first glance.
Decoration options
Standing toppers, flat toppers, edible images, plaques, hand-piped wording, bows or flowers.
Timing and price
Usually 10-14 days. Most themed cakes start from £75.

How to brief a themed cake
the details that make the design clearer
Design options that work well
- Standing toppers, flat toppers, plaques or cut-out details for names, ages, logos and characters.
- Edible images, printed details and hand-piped wording can all be combined when the brief needs more than one element.
- Flowers, bows, butterflies or gift-box styling can also be worked into the theme where they suit the design.
- If you send a strong reference, I can recreate the overall look in my own style and adapt it to the chosen size.
What to send me
- Theme or character, name, age, date and any must-have details.
- Colour palette and whether you want the cake to feel playful, elegant, bold or romantic.
- One to three reference photos or screenshots.
- Servings and postcode so I can check availability and quote properly.
Extra option: I can add a personalised printed card with your own image and/or text. Very sculpted or heavily 3D cakes should be discussed early so I can confirm what is realistic for the date and budget.
