Cake Trays is a family-run bakery in Dagenham, East London. We offer next-day delivery across East London when tomorrow has open slots, from Stratford and Walthamstow out to Ilford, Romford and Chigwell. The live calendar below shows whether tomorrow is still open, so you can check before you choose a cake.
These dates come from the same booking system as our checkout. If tomorrow is marked open, you can book it now. If it is not, the first open date is the soonest delivery we can offer. The calendar shows our general availability, and each cake also has its own preparation time, so the date picker at checkout may start a little later for more detailed designs.
Booking a cake for tomorrow
Ordering the day before suits a birthday tea, an office celebration or a family visit. It gives us a full day to bake and decorate, which can widen your choice compared with ordering on the day itself. The calendar is still the final word: tomorrow stays open at checkout while there are slots left, and closes once they are booked.
There is no set time of the evening when orders for tomorrow stop. Fridays, weekends and the days before Eid, Mother's Day or Valentine's Day tend to fill first, so on those dates it pays to check early. If tomorrow is already full, the calendar shows the next day that isn't.
Next day delivery areas
We deliver to 39 postcode districts around our kitchen in Dagenham, across East London and into the Essex edge. Each town links to its own page with local details, and the East London cake delivery page covers every borough.

If your postcode is not in the table, we can't deliver to it. That includes Upminster (RM14) and the rest of Essex beyond the districts above. You can still order and collect from our kitchen in Dagenham at the times shown at checkout. The postcode checker above gives you an instant answer.
How to book tomorrow's delivery
-
Pick your cake and personalise it. Names, ages and messages go in the personalisation box on the product page.
-
Open the cart and choose Local Delivery. Or choose Pickup if you would rather collect.
-
Select tomorrow and a two hour window. If tomorrow does not appear for your cake, that cake needs more preparation time than one day allows.
-
Pay to confirm. Your date and window are held once the order is placed, and we bake the cake fresh for that day.
Every product has its own preparation time in the checkout calendar, which is why one cake can show tomorrow and another cannot. Custom designs, tiered cakes and wedding, nikkah or engagement cakes need the most notice. For those, order your cake in advance and message us first so we can go through the details.
Popular choices for tomorrow
These ranges are a good place to start for tomorrow. Open any cake and the date picker shows its earliest date.
Baby showers and gender reveals are usually planned a little ahead, which makes the day before a comfortable time to order.
Feeding a crowd? Cake bake trays suit offices, schools and big family gatherings, and anniversary cakes are worth a look for a date you don't want to forget.
If tomorrow is full, or you need it sooner
When tomorrow is booked up, pick the next open date or collect from our kitchen in Dagenham if a collection slot is free. If you need a cake today, our same day cake delivery page shows whether today still has room. And for a birthday or event a week or more away, booking the date now is the easiest way to get the slot you want.
Sending a cake for tomorrow
A next day order is a simple way to send a cake to family or friends across East London. Enter their postcode at checkout, add your message, and choose a window when someone will be in. See cake gift delivery for more on gifting, or choose from our cake gift boxes.
Next day cake delivery questions
Can I order a cake today for delivery tomorrow?
Yes, when tomorrow has open slots. The calendar at the top of this page shows whether tomorrow is still open. If it is, choose it at checkout. If not, the first open date is the soonest we can deliver.
How late can I order for next day delivery?
There is no fixed cut-off time. Tomorrow stays open at checkout until its slots are booked, so ordering earlier gives you more choice of delivery window.
Which postcodes do you deliver to?
We deliver to 39 postcode districts: E1 to E4, E6, E7, E10 to E18 and E20, IG1 to IG9 and IG11, and RM1 to RM13. That covers East London from Bow and Stratford to Romford, Hornchurch, Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill. Outside those districts we can't deliver, but collection from our kitchen in Dagenham is available.
Can I get a personalised cake for tomorrow?
Often, yes. Names, ages and short messages go in the personalisation box on the product page. The checkout calendar then shows whether that cake can be ready tomorrow, based on its own preparation time. Bigger custom designs need more notice.
Can you deliver a wedding cake the next day?
Wedding, nikkah and engagement cakes need more notice than a day. We recommend three to four weeks or more, and a message first so we can talk through tiers, flavours and delivery. See ordering a cake in advance.
Can I choose a delivery time?
Yes. Delivery runs in two hour windows and you choose the window at checkout from the ones still open for your date.
Can I collect my cake instead?
Yes. Choose Pickup in the cart and pick a collection time from those shown at checkout. Collection is from our kitchen in Dagenham.
