Photo Cakes in London & Surrey — few things raise a grin quite like a cake printed with a familiar face (or an adored spaniel). Place an order, send us your chosen photograph, and we’ll transform it into a glossy, feather-light sponge, finished with the sort of polish usually reserved for palace kitchens.

How to order

Book at least 14 days ahead — both good portraits and good sponges benefit from a little notice. Choose your canvas: a trim 6", an 8", a celebratory 10", or a grand sheet cake for a crowd. Pick a flavour worthy of its close-up — Madagascan vanilla, dark chocolate, red velvet, or the current seasonal fancy — then add a neat chocolate plaque (twenty characters is ample: “Cheers!”, “Congrats”, or something wittier).

Once you’ve checked out, simply reply to your confirmation email within an hour with a clear JPEG or PNG of the image you’d like printed (and any quirks — favourite scarf, prize-winning courgette, pet ferret). We’ll place it perfectly, ice with care, and keep everything pristine until it reaches your table.

Tips for the perfect picture

  • Bright, sharp images work best (around 1500px across).
  • Keep faces centred with a touch of headroom.
  • Logos should be high-resolution on a plain background.
  • Lift the shadows on darker shots before sending.
  • Make sure you own the rights to the picture.

Delivery & keeping

Your cake travels by hand in a temperature-controlled van, anywhere in London & Surrey. We box each one level so it arrives immaculate. Store somewhere cool (the fridge if your kitchen is tropical), then let it come to room temperature before slicing for the best crumb and flavour.

A little inspiration

  • Baby’s first photo or a graduation portrait.
  • A birthday collage that spans decades.
  • Corporate logos, campaign launches, or team trophies.
  • Beloved pets, hobbies, or that family ferret.

What arrives at your door

  • A smooth edible print, colours vivid and clear.
  • Crisp edges, neat piping, and a flawless finish.
  • Punctual, careful delivery.
