40th Birthday Cakes
Our 40th birthday cakes are made for grown-up celebrations without taking the grown-up bit too seriously. Choose a chocolate or pistachio centrepiece, elegant buttercream or a photo design for dinners, parties and family gatherings. Every cake is baked fresh for the celebration and hand-delivered across London and Surrey by our own drivers.
Forty, properly celebrated.

Choose their 40th cake.
Start with elegant, photo and fully personalised routes. If you want 40 itself to be the design, use the Number Cake route above; then keep browsing for richer flavours and grown-up styles.
Choose by the person
For her. For him. Or entirely their own.
Forty is a milestone with no fixed look. Start with their style, hobbies and sense of humour rather than a prescribed colour palette.
Vintage, floral, heart-shaped or personal.
Choose something that feels like her rather than something generically “for women”.
Flavour-led, architectural or built around him.
Chocolate, coffee and pistachio work beautifully, or make hobbies and favourite things the brief.
Give the cake its own party moment.
A supplied photograph, caricature or burn-away reveal makes the design unmistakably personal.
More of the edit
Elegant, bold, chocolate or grown-up.
Forty does not have one look. Vintage piping, pistachio, coffee, chocolate, tiered cakes and playful themes all work when they fit the person and the party.

Personalised, custom or bespoke?
The difference is how far you want us to move away from an existing Anges de Sucre cake.

Nothing here looks quite like them?
Start from a blank page. We can build a 40th birthday cake around the person, venue, guest count, favourite flavours, references and atmosphere of the party.

Choosing well
A little more about choosing a 40th cake
For a larger dinner or party, browse our tiered birthday cakes for two- and three-tier centrepieces.
Celebrating 40 years of marriage rather than a 40th birthday? Ruby anniversaries need a different brief. Browse our anniversary cakes or read our 40th wedding anniversary cake ideas.
Choosing a 40th birthday cake
If you want 40 itself to be the centrepiece, select the digits from our number cake collection. For a less literal centrepiece, chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, carrot and floral buttercream designs work particularly well for a milestone dinner or party.
Shopping for her 40th? Our women’s birthday cake edit is a useful route to elegant florals, bolder colour and cakes finished with personalised plaque messages.
Every cake can include a short complimentary chocolate-plaque message with a name, age, date or other short wording. For a photograph or another visual change, use our Photo Cakes or Custom Cakes routes. For simple personalisation on an existing cake, see personalised cakes London. For larger design changes, use custom cakes.
