Chocolate Birthday Cake Ideas

Top Chocolate Cakes

[Updated 12/07/2026]

Looking to order? Browse our current chocolate cakes, made to order for birthdays and celebrations across London and Surrey.

Chocolate birthday cakes can be restrained, playful, floral, architectural or gloriously over-decorated. The right choice depends on the person, the number of portions and whether the cake needs to feel elegant, funny or unmistakably celebratory.

Chocolate and hazelnut celebration cake

Chocolate And Hazelnut Cakes

Chocolate sponge, hazelnut praline, chocolate buttercream and crisp nut decorations make a rich combination. For a finished celebration cake, see our Hazelnut Praline Deluxe Cake. These cakes contain nuts and are unsuitable for many allergy requirements, so check the current product information carefully before ordering.

Chocolate Fudge Cakes

A deeply chocolate sponge with smooth buttercream or ganache works for almost every age. It can be kept simple, finished with a drip or decorated with chocolate shards, truffles or piped detail. See our Chocolate Fudge Cake for the finished version.

Doughnut And Cookie-Topped Cakes

Baked doughnuts, biscuits and chocolate pieces add height and texture. They suit informal birthdays and larger tables where a generous, playful cake is more appropriate than a polished minimalist finish.

Browse current doughnut cakes for available designs.

Chocolate Number Cakes

A number-shaped cake makes the milestone immediately clear and can be decorated with piped buttercream, chocolate, fruit or biscuits. Check the current portion guide rather than assuming every number serves the same number of guests.

See our current number cakes.

Novelty Chocolate Cakes

A novelty cake can adapt an existing design with themed colours, hand-modelled details, a logo or a character-inspired brief. That is a custom cake rather than simple personalisation. A completely new cake developed from scratch is a bespoke commission.

Children's Chocolate Cakes

Animal, gaming, football, dinosaur and colourful party designs can all use chocolate sponge underneath. Confirm the child's preferred theme, the number of portions and any dietary considerations before choosing the decoration.

Floral And Pastel Chocolate Cakes

Chocolate does not need to look dark or heavy. Pastel buttercream, piped flowers and restrained gold details can conceal a rich chocolate sponge while keeping the exterior soft and celebratory.

Chocolate And Salted Caramel

Salted caramel brings sweetness, bitterness and salt into balance. It works particularly well with chocolate sponge, Swiss meringue buttercream, macarons and a controlled chocolate drip.

Choosing The Right Size

Start with the number of people who will actually be served. Consider whether the cake is the main dessert, part of a larger table or intended to leave generous leftovers. Use the live product's portion guide because sizes and designs change over time.

Allergens

Chocolate cakes may contain or be decorated with gluten, dairy, eggs, soya, peanuts or tree nuts. Check the ingredient and allergen information on the individual product before ordering. Our kitchen handles gluten, dairy, eggs, soya, peanuts and tree nuts, so we cannot guarantee that cakes are free from traces of allergens.

Ordering And Delivery

Ready to choose? Start with our Chocolate Fudge Cake, a milestone-friendly Choco Swirl Number Cake, or the more polished Posh Chocolate Hazelnut Cake. Current delivery arrangements are on the delivery page.
