Looking for birthday cakes in Barking? Cake Trays is an East London halal bakery baking fresh birthday cakes to order for IG11 and the streets all around it, from Barking town centre and the Gascoigne to Thames View, Upney, Eastbury and Barking Riverside. Whether you want a pastel vintage heart cake for an 18th, a chocolate number cake for a milestone, or a simple sponge to share at home, we bake it fresh and deliver it locally. Here is everything you need to know about ordering a birthday cake in Barking.
Why order a birthday cake from a local Barking bakery
Ordering from a bakery that already delivers across IG11 means your cake travels a short distance and arrives looking exactly as it should. We are just up the road in Dagenham, so there are no long cross-London journeys for your cake to survive between the oven and your table near Barking station, Abbey Road or Vicarage Field. Everything is baked to order rather than sitting on a shelf, so the sponge is soft and the buttercream is fresh on the day it reaches you. You can see the full range on our birthday cakes collection.
Popular birthday cake styles in Barking
Vintage buttercream cakes are still the most requested design in the area. These are the piped, ruffled cakes finished with a name, an age or a short message and topped with a ribbon bow. Our heart cakes are a favourite for 18ths, 21sts and sweet sixteens, and they photograph beautifully for social media. If you are watching the budget, our cakes under £30 range gives you a proper personalised bake without the milestone price tag.
For bigger family birthdays, a number cake spells out the age itself and feeds a crowd, while a milk cake tray is perfect when you want a soft, shareable dessert for a house full of guests. You can choose your sponge flavour too: vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, pistachio or Biscoff.
Halal birthday cakes for the whole community
Every cake we bake is halal, so you can order for a family birthday, an office celebration or a gathering after Jummah without having to check the small print. Barking is one of the most diverse parts of East London, and a halal cake means everyone at the table can share the same slice. Read more on our halal cakes page to see how we bake.
