Why Customers Choose My Baker for Graduation Cake Delivery
My Baker fulfils London orders from its flagship bakery in Hendon, North West London. Beyond London, and occasionally within it, we work with a carefully selected network of vetted, trusted local baking partners across the UK. Every graduation cake is made fresh to order and never frozen. Graduation season runs from June through September, with a peak around July results and university degree ceremonies. With more than 23,000 cakes delivered, we know how to manage a busy period and still get your order to you on time.
How to Choose the Right Graduation Cake — A Buying Guide
Styles and Designs
Graduation cake designs at My Baker typically feature one or more of the following: a mortarboard topper (in fondant or sugar work), diploma or scroll decoration, year number detail (using edible numbers or piped lettering), and university or school colours worked into the buttercream. Some designs in the collection use an edible image topper for a photo of the graduate. Browse the collection on our website to see what is available.
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. Graduation parties often involve extended family; if you are expecting more than 20 guests, the 8-inch or 10-inch is the safer choice. Our product pages include serving guidance for every cake.
Colour Matching to University or School Colours
Graduating from a specific institution? We are happy to match the buttercream, fondant, or ribbon detail to university or school colours at no extra cost. Leave the colour reference (or institution name) in the cart notes when you order and our bakers will do their best to match it.
Dietary Options
Graduation cakes can be made vegan, made without gluten, made without dairy, made without eggs, made without nuts, or halal. 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 graduation cakes on our website can be delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Next-day delivery is generally available when baker capacity allows; order by 3pm to qualify. Next-day orders carry a £10 delivery premium. During peak graduation season (July and August), ordering a few days ahead is advisable. For a fully custom graduation cake with photo or specific institutional detail, submit your brief via Design My Cake at least a week ahead.
Frequently Asked Questions About Graduation Cake Delivery
Can I get a graduation cake delivered the next day in London and other parts of the UK?
Yes. Next-day graduation cake delivery is available across most London postcodes and many wider UK postcodes for orders placed on our website before 3pm. Place your order and we will handle the rest. Concerned about receiving your cake on time? Give us a call on 020 3239 4399 and we will confirm.
Can I get a graduation cake with a photo of the graduate on it?
Yes. An edible image of the graduate can be printed directly onto the cake topper. Upload your image on the product page or via Design My Cake; our team will review the image quality and confirm before baking. For best results, use a high-resolution image (300dpi or higher) with a clear, uncluttered background.
Can I match the cake colours to university or school colours?
Yes. Leave the colour reference, hex code, or institution name in the cart notes when you order and our bakers will match as closely as possible. For exact colour matching where brand accuracy matters, share a visual reference via Design My Cake so we can confirm before committing.
Can I order a graduation cake to be delivered to a venue rather than a home address?
Yes. Enter the venue address as the delivery address when you order. If the venue has specific delivery instructions (a goods entrance, a time window, a named contact), leave those details in the cart notes and we will do our best to accommodate. For larger venue deliveries or multi-location orders, call us on 020 3239 4399.
Can a graduation cake be made vegan or made without gluten?
Yes. Both vegan sponge and made-without-gluten flour blends are available across the full graduation cake range. The decoration and design options remain the same regardless of dietary adaptation. Select your requirements on the product page from the choices available.
