Sports cakes are sport-themed novelty cakes made to order for fans and players of every game, from golf and Formula 1 to rugby, boxing, tennis and gymnastics, each one handcrafted fresh around the sport someone loves. Whatever the game, a sports cake (or sportscake) celebrates a true passion far better than anything generic, and every one is built by hand at an independent cake shop Birmingham trusts.
We are an independent, family-run cake factory in Birmingham, trusted with more than 950 five-star Google reviews (4.9★) and holding a 5-star FSA food hygiene rating.
For someone who lives and breathes their sport, nothing beats a cake built around it. Whether they play every weekend or never miss a match on the telly, a sport-themed cake taps straight into what they love, the team, the kit, the equipment, the moment. It is the perfect choice for a birthday, a club celebration or a sporting milestone, for children and grown-ups alike.
This guide covers what makes a great sports cake, the flavours available, how to order, and a full run-through of designs for every sport, broken down towards the end of the page.
A sports cake works for the proud parent of a junior gymnast, the mate who is obsessed with darts, or the grandad who has watched the cricket for fifty years. We pitch the design to the person, bright and fun for a child’s party, or sleek and detailed for an adult fan. Many sports cakes are ordered for men, so our Birthday Cakes for Men range is worth a look too.
Every cake is a fresh brief. Tell us the sport, the team or the player, and we build the design around it rather than offering a fixed catalogue. For a truly one-off concept, an edible photo, a sculpted figure, a club crest, our Personalised Cakes service covers the lot.
Configure your cake through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke design. We confirm the sport, design, colours, flavours and size with you before we begin, then bake it fresh for your date, nothing is frozen and nothing is mass-produced.
The combination is yours to build. Choose a sponge from Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla & Chocolate, Red Velvet and Rainbow Vanilla; add a cream filling from Vanilla, Chocolate, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Lemon, Oreo, Biscoff, Hazelnut or Cream Cheese; and a jam or spread such as Strawberry, Raspberry, Black Cherry, Lemon Curd, Biscoff, Salted Caramel or Hazelnut. A rich chocolate sponge with salted caramel is a guaranteed winner for a celebration, whatever the sport on top.
On dietary matters: our base recipe is nut-free, meat-free and alcohol-free and is suitable for vegetarians. We are not an allergen-free kitchen and we do not offer egg-free cakes, and because our kitchen handles a range of ingredients we cannot guarantee against the presence of any allergen. If anyone celebrating has a diagnosed food allergy, please speak to us before ordering.
Candles, a helium foil balloon and a personalised message card finish the cake. For a club party or team celebration, our Match & Save range adds matching Sports Themed Cupcakes for easy individual portions. And if football is the game, including a children’s football cake, our dedicated Football Cakes range covers every club and design in full.
Every cake is handcrafted to order and delivered across Birmingham and the West Midlands by our own vans, never a postal courier. We cover the full B1–B99 region plus Walsall, Wolverhampton and Dudley, with a £70 minimum order beyond the B postcodes, and deliver every day between 8:00am and 8:00pm with a one-hour time slot.

Unfortunately, no. Our cake shop Birmingham delivers to all B1 to B99 postcodes, and we use advanced route management software to optimise delivery routes and timings. Changing one delivery slot would affect other customers and disrupt the carefully planned schedule, so we are unable to adjust delivery time windows once they have been allocated.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure every cake is delivered efficiently, safely, and on time.
Yes, our cake shop Birmingham can accommodate a change of delivery address if you contact us before 8:00 am on the day of delivery and the new address is within half a mile of the original location. Because we deliver across all B1 to B99 postcodes using carefully optimised routes, changes beyond this distance may disrupt other customers’ deliveries and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
We appreciate your understanding as we work hard to ensure every cake is delivered efficiently, safely, and on time.

Whatever the game, we have made a cake for it. Here are the sports we are asked for most, each design built fresh around the team, player or passion.
A golf cake is one of our most popular designs. From a sculpted green and bunker to clubs, a bag and a flag, a golf birthday cake or golf themed birthday cake is perfect for the golfer in the family and our cakes golf theme designs work for club celebrations too.
For the speed fan, a Formula 1 cake makes a showstopper. A sculpted formula 1 car cake, a team livery design, or a chequered-flag finish all work brilliantly as a formula 1 birthday cake. We make formula one birthday cakes, an f1 birthday cake in your team’s colours, and car racing cake designs of every kind.
A rugby cake celebrates the player or the fan in style, a sculpted ball, posts, or a club kit. A rugby birthday cake (or birthday cake rugby, however you search it) and a rugby theme cake in your team’s colours are always a hit.
A boxing cake packs a punch, a sculpted boxing glove cake, a ring, or a champion’s belt make a brilliant birthday cake boxing fans will love. We also make a wrestling cake for fans of the ring.
A tennis cake is a clean, fun design, a court, a racket and ball, or a Wimbledon-inspired finish. A tennis birthday cake or tennis theme cake suits players and fans of all ages.
A basketball cake brings real energy, a sculpted ball, a hoop, or team colours. A basketball birthday cake (or basketball cake birthday design) is a slam dunk for a young player’s party.
A gymnastics cake is perfect for a junior gymnast, a beam, a figure mid-routine, or a sparkly leotard theme. A gymnastic theme cake or gymnastics themed birthday cake makes the celebration extra special.
A cricket theme cake with a pitch, bat and stumps is a summer favourite, while a dart cake or dart birthday cake, a dartboard in buttercream, bullseye and all, is brilliant for the pub-team player.
A swimming cake or a fun cake swimming pool design, complete with lanes and ripples, is perfect for a young swimmer or a triathlete.
For the cyclist, cycling birthday cakes featuring a bike, a jersey or a finish line celebrate the miles in the saddle, great for road, mountain or track fans.
For the more adventurous, a skiing cake, a roller skating cake or a rock climbing cake captures the thrill of the slopes, the rink and the wall in sculpted detail.
We make a hockey cake with sticks and a pitch, a netball cake in club colours, and a horse racing cake complete with silks and a winning post, whatever the sport, we will design around it.
Football has a home of its own. From a club kit to a stadium, including a children’s football cake, our full range lives on the Football Cakes page.
