How to Choose the Perfect Birthday Cake: A Quick Guide for Every Celebration
When it comes to birthday celebrations, the cake is more than just dessert - it’s the centrepiece. Whether you're planning a cosy gathering or a big surprise party, choosing the right cake can feel overwhelming with so many designs and flavours available.
At Cake Choice, we’ve simplified it for you. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the perfect birthday cake, matched to your celebration style, guest list, and personality - delivered across London, fast and hassle-free.
1. Consider the Size of Your Celebration
Start with the guest count. You want enough cake to go around without too much leftover (unless that's your plan!).
6-inch cakes: Serve up to 16 people. Great for smaller celebrations or family get-togethers.
Tall 2-tier cakes: Perfect for 40–50 guests - ideal for parties and events.
Mini cakes: Serve 4–8 people. A lovely option for intimate moments or last-minute surprises.
Cake Choice tip: Not sure how many you are serving? Go one size up - it’s always better to have a slice or two extra.
2. Match the Cake to the Personality
The best birthday cakes reflect the person they’re for. Here are some of our top picks:
Romantic & elegant? Try our Vintage Heart Cake with delicate piping and pastel tones.
Fun & adventurous? Go bold with our Jungle Lion Cake or Spiderman Tall Cake.
Sophisticated & stylish? Our Elegant Ferrero Rocher Cake is a top pick with adults.
From playful to classic, our cake collections cover all tastes and vibes.
3. Choose a Flavour Everyone Will Love
Flavour is just as important as the design. Our bestselling options include:
Double Chocolate – rich and satisfying for all ages
Vanilla with Strawberry Jam – light, classic and perfect with tea
Red Velvet – a modern favourite with cream cheese frosting
Oreo – a crowd-pleaser for biscuit lovers
