Our dream birthday cake commission landed in our inbox six months ago—a Hogwarts cake to be delivered to WB Studios!

It was a super secret order for an Italian celebrity, Vincenzo's 40th birthday. His birthday party venue was none other than Harry Potter set at Warner Brothers Studios in Watford, North London. The inspiration image sent to us seemed like it was possibly generated by AI which always fills me with fright because...well, how is something in real life ever going to match up to AI perfection?

Vincenzo wanted layers upon layers of chocolate sponge with red berries compote and vanilla buttercream delivered on one of the hottest days of the year. Tall, 2-tiered 10" on 12" stacked. With a true to life edible sculpture of Hogwarts on top. And oh wait, it needed to light up too.

If, like Vincenzo, you’re partial to a good chocolate sponge, you might enjoy browsing our chocolate cake collection—each one is made with the same devotion to rich flavour.

The most challenging part of this order was the delivery. We had to get this huge cake weighing almost 17 kilograms to WB Studios out of our usual delivery window, between 20:30 and 21:00—after the studio visitors have left and before the party guests arrive! Oh, did I mention it was on one of the hottest days of the year?

Our driver Cecily is the true hero of this story. She carried this beast of a cake and got it placed in none other than Dumbledore's literal office. She then turned on the lights on the cake and it was just pure MAGIC.

For anyone planning a magical party—be it for wizards, little dreamers, or grown-up fans—a glance at our children’s birthday cakes can spark a few ideas (we’re not above a bit of magic ourselves).

Thank you Vincenzo and team for trusting us with your special personalised birthday cake. The party looked INCREDIBLE.

If you ever want something made just for you, we’ve put together a collection of personalised cakes—each one a little different, every one with its own story.

Love,

Reshmi xoxo
