Edible Image Cake Delivery London and across the UK
Why Customers Choose My Baker for Edible Image Cakes
My Baker fulfils London edible image cake orders from its flagship bakery in Hendon, North West London, where edible printing is done entirely in-house. That in-house capability matters: we control the print quality directly rather than outsourcing to a third party, which means sharper results and faster turnaround. Beyond London, and occasionally within it, we work with a carefully selected network of vetted, trusted local baking partners across the UK. With more than 23,000 cakes delivered, edible image cakes are among our most requested formats for both personal and corporate orders.
How to Choose the Right Edible Image Cake. A Buying Guide
How Edible Image Printing Works
Your image, photo, or logo is printed onto an edible wafer paper or icing sheet using food-safe edible ink. The printed sheet is then placed onto the top of the buttercream-frosted cake, where it adheres naturally. File quality has a direct effect on print quality: images at 300dpi or higher produce sharp, detailed results; low-resolution screenshots or compressed files tend to print blurry. Upload your file on the product page and our team will flag any quality issues before baking.
What Images Work Best
Clear, high-contrast images with a simple background reproduce well. Photographs of faces, group shots, logos, and bold illustrations all print reliably. Very detailed images with fine linework may lose some detail at smaller print sizes. For corporate logo cakes, send the vector file or the highest-resolution version available for the crispest result.
Sizing and Servings
A 6-inch round cake serves 8 to 16 people. An 8-inch serves 12 to 28, and a 10-inch serves 20 to 42. The larger the cake, the larger the print area; for corporate logo cakes where legibility matters, an 8-inch or 10-inch is recommended. Our product pages include serving guidance for every cake.
Flavours and Base Finish
Edible image cakes are available in all six My Baker signature flavours (chocolate, vanilla, Victoria Sponge, red velvet, lemon, and salted caramel are all in the edible image range). The image sits on a smooth white or lightly coloured buttercream base so the print shows clearly. Choose your flavour and base colour on the product page.
Dietary Options
Edible image cakes can be made vegan, made without gluten, made without dairy, made without eggs, made without nuts, or halal. The edible printing process is compatible with all dietary adaptations. Select your preference on the product page from the choices available. Our bakers work in kitchens where allergens are present; if you have a severe allergy triggered by traces of allergens, sadly we are not able to cater for you safely and will decline the order.
Lead Times and the 3pm Cut-Off
Most edible image cakes on our website can be delivered within 24 to 48 hours once your image is confirmed. Upload your file as early as possible so our team can review quality before committing to a delivery date. Next-day orders carry a £10 delivery premium and require image confirmation by 3pm.
Frequently Asked Questions About Edible Image Cakes
Can I get an edible image cake delivered the next day in London and other parts of the UK?
Yes, in most cases. Next-day edible image cake delivery is available across most London postcodes and many wider UK postcodes for orders placed before 3pm with an approved image on file. Upload your image as early as possible so our team can confirm suitability before your cut-off. Give us a call on 020 3239 4399 if you need to check availability for a specific date.
What file format should I upload?
PNG or JPEG files at 300dpi or higher give the best results. For logos and graphics, a PDF or vector file is ideal. Avoid screenshots taken from social media or low-resolution web images; these tend to produce blurry prints. If you are not sure whether your file is suitable, upload it and our team will review it before we proceed.
Is an edible image safe to eat?
Yes. Edible images are printed with food-safe edible ink onto wafer paper or icing sheets. Both the ink and the sheet are fully edible and have a neutral flavour that does not affect the taste of the cake. They are safe for all ages.
Can I get an edible image cake for a corporate event or branded activation?
Yes. Edible printing is one of our core corporate cake options. For company logos, product launches, campaign imagery, and branded gifting, edible printing produces a clean, professional result. Upload your logo on the product page or share your brief via our corporate enquiry form for multi-unit or large-scale orders.
Can I customise the buttercream colour beneath the image?
Yes. If you want a specific background colour beneath the printed image, note your preference in the cart and our bakers will match the buttercream accordingly. For fully custom edible image designs, including edge-to-edge printed wraps or shaped toppers, share your brief via Design My Cake and we will come back with a quote.
