If your family lives around Ilford, Seven Kings or Goodmayes and you are in India, you can have a fresh halal cake at their door without touching a courier company. This is the exact process, start to finish.
Step 1: Pick a cake that suits the occasion
For birthdays, start with our birthday cakes (from £32.99). For anniversaries or a romantic surprise, the vintage heart cakes are the ones everyone photographs. For a family gathering, a milk cake tray (tres leches) from £23.99 feeds everyone and disappears fastest. Every cake we bake is halal, so an Ilford or East Ham household never needs to ask.
Step 2: Check their postcode
On any product page you will find a postcode checker. Ilford (IG1), Seven Kings (IG3), Goodmayes (IG3), East Ham (E6) and the surrounding IG, RM and E districts are all covered, with hand delivery at £4.99.
Step 3: Time it right
India is 4.5 hours ahead of UK summer time. Order before 6:30 PM IST and you are inside our 2 PM UK cutoff, when same day delivery is often still available. Ordering for a specific date instead? Choose it at checkout, your slot is confirmed there and then.
Step 4: Add the message
Type your message at checkout and we pipe it onto the cake by hand. Short and personal beats long and formal, Happy 60th Amma fits beautifully on a cake.
Step 5: Pay from India
Any Visa or Mastercard with international payments enabled works, as do Apple Pay and PayPal. The price shows in GBP and your bank converts from rupees automatically. If a card declines, it is almost always the international-payments toggle in your banking app.
