Cake by post is a convenient way to send delicious cakes through the mail, allowing you to surprise loved ones anywhere in the UK without being physically present. This service has become increasingly popular, especially for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.
The concept involves specially designed cakes that can fit through standard UK letterboxes, ensuring delivery even when the recipient isn't home. These cakes are typically vacuum-packed to maintain freshness during transit and can stay fresh for several days.

Traditional Ukrainian honey cake (Medovik) is specifically designed for postal delivery. Unlike other cakes, honey cake has unique properties that make it the ideal choice for sending by post. Learn more about why honey cake is the best cake for postal delivery.
🍯 Natural Preservation
Honey acts as a natural preservative, keeping the cake fresh for up to 7 days without refrigeration. This makes it perfect for postal delivery across the UK.
📦 Dense Structure
The layered structure of honey cake is dense and stable, preventing it from crumbling or getting damaged during postal transport. Each layer holds together perfectly.
📏 Letterbox Perfect
Our honey cakes are specially sized to fit through standard UK letterboxes (25cm x 5cm), ensuring easy delivery without requiring someone to be home.
