Need something that can travel?

Shop the options that travel best

If you are sending cake as a gift, start with the by-post options that travel cleanly, then compare custom cakes only if the occasion really needs a larger centrepiece.

The cakes by post range is prepared for post, with bakes vacuum-packed and dispatched as parcels
Honey cake slices, caramel biscuits, and standard-design honey cake work well when you want a posted surprise without sending a full celebration cake
Tall, chilled, or highly decorated cakes are better kept to local delivery, collection, or UK delivery by agreement
