Cake gift FAQs

Can I add a personal message?

Will the price show anywhere?

Can I choose the delivery date?

Yes, pick any available date at checkout, today, this weekend or weeks ahead. Your exact slot is confirmed before you pay.

How do I know it arrived?

You get email confirmation, and in our experience the thank-you phone call usually beats it.

Can I send a cake anonymously?

You can leave your name off the gift note if you like, just tell us what to write, or not write, at checkout.

Can I order from outside the UK?

Yes, from anywhere. See our overseas ordering guide for country-specific tips.
