Key Questions to Ask Cake Mail about Birthday Cakes

A birthday is a special day to celebrate a person’s life and let them know that you’re glad they were born. You want to make sure to get their gift right, so if you’re considering having a cake delivered, here are a few questions you might want to ask the bakery:

• Can you deliver at the last minute?

Ever found yourself panicking on a loved one’s special day looking up ‘birthday cakes near me’ online? In a perfect world, we would all plan everything sufficiently ahead, but who are we kidding? Sometimes, you need a last-minute gift — and we can handle it.

• What is your delivery fee? 

Don’t get caught off guard by a delivery fee that’s nearly as much as the cake itself. Our delivery fee is only $10!

• When do you deliver? 

We deliver Monday through Saturday. If you need a cake on Sunday, we recommend Saturday delivery as your cake will be fresh and delicious for up to three days. 

• Does someone have to be home? 

We understand that sometimes you want your cake to be a surprise, so if there’s no one home to accept the delivery, we’ll leave it at the door as long as it’s safe. 

• Can I cancel my order? 

We allow order cancellations for a full refund two business days or more before the scheduled delivery date. 

• How should the cake be stored? 

On a cool day, your cake will be fine outside the fridge for up to five hours. To be safe, store in the refrigerator for up to three days, but remove the cake two hours before serving for the best quality.

Tips for Choosing Children’s Birthday Cakes

Birthday cakes are more than just desserts — they are an essential part of any birthday celebration, bringing joy, excitement and happiness to the birthday celebrant and their guests.

There are countless store options for birthday cakes, but not all are created equal. If you want to make your loved one's birthday special, you need the best birthday cake in Sydney or Melbourne  — that's where Cake Mail comes in.

Choosing a cake is an art form. Don’t just point and click — take some time to browse the selection and consider which cake would be ideal for your recipient, from the size and shape to the flavour and the decorations. Here are a few things to consider when choosing the right cake:

• Flavour — There are endless cake flavours, from vanilla to chocolate and everything in between. If you know the recipient’s favourite flavour, you’re ahead of the game. If not, see if you can find out discreetly. If all else fails, any well-known flavour will likely be well-received — it’s cake, after all!

• Size — Consider how many people will be enjoying the cake. You can choose a small, personal cake for an individual or go for something larger if they’ll be sharing their gift with a group. One of the nice things about ordering online is the many options you’ll have. 

• Décor — Does the birthday boy or girl love The Simpsons? Unicorns? Disney princesses? Do they have a favourite candy such as Snickers or Kit Kats? Do their tastes lean more sophisticated or more colourful and bright? We can incorporate any of these into a dazzling and memorable birthday cake, which we can deliver right on time.
