Which London Bakeries Offer Online Cake Delivery?

There are lots of London bakeries that offer online cake delivery, but not all of them deliver to every postcode, and not all of them offer the same delivery slots, personalisation options, or cake styles. If you are trying to choose the right bakery, the best approach is to focus on three things: coverage, reliability, and cake quality.

If you are based in East London or nearby areas and want a trusted local option, you can order online from CakeTrays.co.uk. Cake Trays delivers across areas including Romford, Ilford, Dagenham, Barking, East Ham, Walthamstow, Leyton, Woodford, Chigwell, Hainault, Stratford, Plaistow and Forest Gate.

How to tell if a London bakery really delivers to your area

Many websites say “London delivery”, but that can mean different things. Before ordering, check:

• Postcode coverage: confirm your exact postcode is served.
• Delivery slots: make sure the available times work for your event or surprise.
• Same day vs next day: do they actually offer it, and what is the cut-off time?
• Condition on arrival: cakes need careful packaging and reliable handling.

Which types of bakeries offer online cake delivery in London?

In London, online cake delivery tends to fall into a few categories:

• Local cake shops: often best for reliability in a defined delivery area and easier personalisation.
• Large chains: can be convenient but may have fewer custom options or less flexibility.
• Specialist celebration bakers: great for premium designs, but availability can be limited.

If you are ordering for East London, choosing a local cake shop that already delivers in your area is usually the simplest and most reliable option.

Delivery speed: same day and next day options

If you need a cake urgently, you will want a bakery that offers clear delivery slots and realistic ordering cut-offs. Some bakeries offer same day delivery, while others focus on next day delivery for better planning.
