How to send cakes to the UK, wherever in the world you may be!

At My Baker, we believe that every celebration deserves a touch of sweetness. In recent years, the trend of sending cakes to the UK from overseas has grown, especially when it comes to marking special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. Whether you have a son or daughter in the UK studying or working, you are far away from your sweetheart, or you are simply part of an international family like so many of us these days, knowing that you can order a cake for a loved one in the UK with confidence can truly make all the difference.

Why Sending Cakes Matters

Our Dripping in Raspberry cake is very popular in particular for ladies’ birthdays.

Cakes are the centrepiece of celebrations, and sharing a slice can strengthen bonds and create cherished memories. When you send cakes to UK loved ones with My Baker, you're not just sending a dessert; you're delivering love and thoughtfulness across the miles. From delectable birthday cakes that light up a party, to elegant wedding cakes, cute baby shower cakes and stunning graduation cakes that mark some of life’s key milestones, a well-chosen cake can say what words sometimes cannot.

Choosing the Right Bakery

Selecting the right bakery is a vital step in ensuring your cake is nothing short of perfect. At My Baker, we specialise in creating beautifully crafted cakes for all occasions. When choosing a bakery, consider these essential factors:

• Reputation: Check our customer reviews and testimonials to see why so many trust My Baker for their special celebrations.

• Cake Selection: Our range includes options for every taste and occasion, including delicious birthday cakes, cute children’s birthday cakes, elegant wedding cakes, neat graduation cakes and many other varieties.

• Delivery Options: We proudly offer delivery throughout London and across many other cities in the UK, ensuring your cake arrives fresh and on time.

Packaging and Preservation

Larger cakes such as our four tier semi-naked wedding cake are delivered and assembled on site by the baker themselves.

At My Baker, we know that presentation is everything. To ensure your cake arrives in impeccable condition, we use:

• Sturdy Boxes: Our cakes are shipped in robust boxes to safeguard them during transit.

• Trusted delivery partners: Either the baker or their partner will deliver the cake themselves, or we will use a trusted, specialist cake courier to deliver your cake.

• On-site assembly for larger cakes: For three or more tier cakes, the baker will deliver the cake personally and assemble it on site.

Breaking down the language barrier

If you have a loved one in London, what could be more appropriate than an iconic London Bus Cake?

We recognise that English is not everyone’s first language. We thought carefully about the people living in the UK with origins in other countries, and therefore have translated our website into Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish and Urdu, reflecting the diversity of the UK population and meaning around half the world can order a cake to the UK from My Baker in their native language!

Halal options

Our Eid collection uses classic colours, perfect for a Ramadan celebration. Further, all of our cakes can be made halal by ticking the “Halal” box on the product page.

We have a large Mulsim population in the UK, and we are honoured to serve you and sensitive to specific religious and cultural requirements. We do this by ensuring that if requested the cake can be made Halal.  You can rest assured that if you tick the “Halal” box on the product page, your cake will be made without alcohol, animal gelatine, carmine or shellac. So you can order with confidence.

We even have a range specifically for Eid with traditional Eid celebration colours of green and purple featuring.

Timing is crucial when you send cakes to UK loved ones.

• Colour Changes: You can change the colour scheme of your cake at no extra charge. Simply add a note to your order after adding the product to your cart.

• Unique Decorations: Choose from a variety of designs and themes to match the occasion, be it cheerful birthday cakes or sophisticated wedding cakes.
