How to send a cake to London from Canada
- Choose the cake. Pick a design and size, and type the message you want piped on it.
- Add it to your cart and enter their postcode. The cart checks it is in our East London area.
- Choose the date and time slot in the cart. Only open dates are shown, so what you see is what we can deliver.
- Pay with your Canadian card in pounds. Add their name and phone number so the driver can reach them on the day.
Use a credit card, or a debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo beside the Interac one. Most Canadian cards add a foreign transaction fee of about 2.5%, so a card without that fee saves a little.

From Canada to family in East London
Perhaps you moved to Toronto, Mississauga, Calgary or Vancouver from East London, and still have parents, grandparents or siblings in Ilford, East Ham, Romford or Barking. With a five to eight hour time gap and a long flight, a cake on the right day is often the simplest way to show up.
Students go both ways. If your child is studying in London, we deliver to student homes and halls in our area, such as around Queen Mary in Mile End (E1) and the University of East London in Stratford (E15) and Docklands (E16). Add their flat or room number and their phone number so the driver can find them.

Questions from senders in Canada
Can I send a cake to London from Canada?
Yes. Order on our website from anywhere in Canada. We bake the cake in Dagenham and hand deliver it to their door in East London for £4.99, on the date and time slot you choose in the cart.
Will my Canadian card work?
Visa, Mastercard and Amex credit cards work, and so do Visa Debit and Debit Mastercard. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and PayPal work too. A debit card that only shows the Interac logo cannot pay on foreign websites.

We only charge in pounds. Your card provider converts to Canadian dollars and may add a foreign transaction fee. The live box at the top of this page gives a rough dollar price for a £32.99 birthday cake today.
How do I choose the delivery date?
Put a cake in your cart, enter their London postcode, then pick a date and time slot in the cart. Only dates we can still deliver appear. Book early for Christmas and UK Mother's Day.
When can I reach you from Canada?
You can order on the website at any hour. We answer WhatsApp messages during UK business hours, which is early morning to around lunchtime in Toronto and the middle of the night to morning in Vancouver.
Will my family know the cake is from me?
Yes. Add your name to the piped message or the gift note on the box, and it arrives with the cake.
What if they are not home when you deliver?
Add their phone number at checkout. If nobody answers, the driver will try to contact them. Choose a time slot when someone will be in.
