HEXAGONAL CAKES BAKED TO ORDER - PLEASE ALLOW 10-14 DAYS FOR DELIVERY. Hexagonal cakes are measured point to point.
When buying baked to order items, we will delay the despatch of your entire order until the specially baked cake is ready to save you extra deliver charges. If you need other items to be despatched sooner, please place a separate order for the baked to order item.
Our ready to decorate rich fruit cake bases are ideal when you are short of time, or if you prefer to concentrate on decorating rather than baking! We also have a handy guide to cutting your fruit cake online here!
Our hexagonal fruit cakes are baked in a tin half an inch larger than the sizes stated, but will measure a little smaller due to shrinkage on cooling. As shrinkage occurs mainly at the top, the cake should be inverted prior to covering. NB Hexagonal cake tins are measured point to point, but hexagonal cake drums are usually measured flat edge to flat edge.
Made with only the highest quality ingredients to ensure your decorated cake will taste as good as it looks. The fruit is soaked in pure fruit puree and sherry for several days, and then baked in a way which seals in the moisture, so you will not need to feed the cake with extra alcohol prior to decorating - this can make the cake soggy and difficult to cut. Cakes are carefully packaged in sturdy individual boxes to protect them during the journey to you. Order samples online here!
All hexagonal fruit cakes are baked to a target depth of 2.5. Deeper cakes can be baked to special order please email or call for prices.
All of our cakes are suitable for stacking to create tiered cakes, you can find out more about how to stack them using our guide here!

Please note, orders placed after 1pm may leave us the following day, and we do not despatch orders at weekends or Bank Holidays. Our carriers count 'working days' as Monday to Friday only, orders won't usually be delivered on weekends or Bank Holidays. Allow extra time for deliveries to Scottish Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland, as these usually take at least an extra day or two to arrive.
Not sure when to order? Ideally, place your order a week before you need to use the goods - even though most 'Express' orders arrive within just 1 or 2 working days, allow extra time if you can! Our cakes have a five week shelf life and won't suffer if they arrive a few days before you plan to start decorating. If you have a particular day you'd prefer delivery, use the 'comment' box at checkout to let us know, but bear in mind we never 100% guarantee delivery on a specific day
