Design a cake

Describe the cake you want, see it visualised, and turn it into a real order.

What it is

A design tool for cakes. You choose the shape, tiers, flavours, colours and style, and get a visualisation and a specification you can send to a baker — or order through us.

When to use it

When you know roughly what you want but cannot draw it, or when a baker has asked you for a brief.

Who can use it

Anyone can use the public designer. Saving a design and ordering needs an account.

Where to find it

Step by step

  1. Open the Cake Designer.

  2. Set the basics: how many people it must feed, how many tiers, and the occasion.

  3. Choose flavours and a style — colours, finish, decoration.

  4. Review the visualisation.

  5. Save the design, or order it. Ordering a custom design goes to our team for a price before anything is charged.

What you should end up with

A design you can either hand to your own baker or send to us for a quote.

Common mistakes

  • Designing for the number of guests rather than the number who will eat cake. Not everyone does.
  • Expecting the visualisation to be a photograph of the finished cake. It communicates the design; the baker builds it.

If something goes wrong

The design will not save.
You need to be signed in to save. Sign in, then design again — or copy the specification out before you leave the page.
I ordered a custom design and there is no price.
That is expected. A custom design is priced by our team first. See Order a cake.
