Quick answers
- Send the date, size, theme and exact message in one message.
- Two or three reference photos beat ten.
- Tell me your area for delivery, or your pickup time.
- The order form on this site writes the whole message for you.
Step 1: find your direction
Start on the cake wall. Tap the heart on every cake you like, then send me your whole shortlist in one message. Prefer to play? The cake sketch designer lets you pick a shape, frosting and details and adds your sketch to the order.

Hi Cumilla's Cake! I'd like to order a cake. Name: Date & time needed: Occasion / theme: Size (or number of guests): Flavour: Colours: Writing on the cake (exact spelling): Reference photos: (2–3, and what I like about each) Delivery area or pickup time: Anything else:
Step 5: price and confirmation
I reply with the price and any design notes, like how a portrait will be made or which flowers will work best in your colours. Once you confirm, your date is booked and I start planning your cake.
Step 6: the day itself
Your cake is made for your day and handed over boxed and ready. Before you collect it, read keeping your cake fresh in the heat. It’s short and saves a lot of worry.
