10 Birthday Cakes Our Customers Loved

Archive note: This article looks back at designs customers repeatedly ordered in the period when it was written. It is not a current bestseller chart. Product ranges change, so current collection pages are the source of truth for what can be ordered now.

Ten Birthday Cakes Customers Loved

1. Alice in Wonderland

One of our most theatrical archive designs: red velvet, teacups, cards, mushrooms and enough detail to make the Mad Hatter feel underdressed. For current story-led cakes, browse our novelty cakes.

2. Matcha Sakura

Pink and green, matcha, chocolate and blossom-inspired decoration made this a memorable combination. I am deliberately not assigning it to “girls, wives and mums”; cake flavour is not gendered. Browse the current matcha cakes.

3. Salted Caramel

Chocolate, sea salt, caramel, macarons and popcorn: an unapologetically rich combination that appeared again and again in our orders at the time.

4. Doughnut Cakes

Doughnuts, cake, macarons, biscuits and chocolate all in one place. The concept survives in our current Doughnut Cakes collection.

5. Red Velvet

Red velvet has always had visual drama. Archive versions piled on truffles, cupcakes, chocolate pearls and piped buttercream; the current range is on our Red Velvet Cakes page.

6. Pink Cakes

Our old Pink Flamingo design used handmade chocolate feathers, macarons, popcorn and chocolate pearls. It was a popular archive style; I am not going to pretend pink cakes belong to one gender. Browse current pink cakes instead.

7. The Deliciously Stella Cake

This was pure maximalism: chocolate, biscuits, cookie dough, brownie, Kinder Bueno and enough decoration to make restraint feel rude. It belongs to the archive rather than the current range.

8. Fast-Food Cake

Burger, “fried chicken”, chips and ketchup styling made from cake, brownie, biscuit, doughnut and chocolate. Being baked rather than fried does not make a celebration cake inherently healthier, so the old joke claiming that has gone.

9. Ferrero Rocher

Chocolate and hazelnut remain a formidable birthday-cake combination. For whatever is available now, use the current product/collection pages rather than this archive ranking.

10. Croquembouche

The Horn of the Unicorn Croquembouche was one of our most extravagant archive creations, covered with profiteroles, doughnuts, macarons and decoration. Browse our current croquembouches for the range available today.

These are historical customer favourites, not a statement that each exact design is still sold or still occupies the same sales position.
