Start with the sort of first birthday cake you want
Four good ways to choose.
Start with a true first-birthday cake.
Bunnies, bees and a design made specifically for the first big birthday.
See Bunny & Bees → 02 · Make the age obviousPut 1 centre stage.
A number cake makes the milestone instantly clear in the room and in the photographs.
Number cakes →
Animals, characters and storybooks.
Friendly designs for a family party without making the cake feel over-worked.
Children’s cakes →
Build the cake around the celebration.
Use the invitation, colours, animals, venue or party theme as the starting point.
Bespoke cakes →The first birthday edit
Cakes that look like turning one.
Begin with the age itself, a cake designed expressly for a first birthday, or a storybook and animal design that feels right for a very small guest of honour.
Choose the mood
Soft, playful or full of colour.
First birthdays tend to be photographed as much as they are eaten. A clear visual idea usually works better than trying to put every possible theme on one cake.
Peter Rabbit and familiar characters.
A gentle visual world that works particularly well for a family first birthday.
Safari, bears, elephants and monkeys.
Friendly characters with enough personality to carry the whole design.
Rainbows, pastels and party colour.
Bright enough for the celebration, without losing the softness of a first birthday.

Characters, animals, rainbows and larger statement cakes give you a second route when the party theme matters more than putting the number 1 at the centre.

For a first birthday, clear shapes and friendly characters photograph beautifully without needing an over-complicated design. A pastel number cake makes the age obvious, while animal and storybook cakes give the celebration a gentler theme that works well for family parties.
Every cake can include a short complimentary chocolate-plaque message with a name, age, date or other short wording. For simple personalisation, see personalised cakes London. For a completely new theme, use bespoke cakes.
