    The Complete Guide to Message Cupcakes

    Sometimes the words are the whole gift. Message cupcakes let you say exactly what you mean, spelled out across a box or written on each cupcake, so the moment someone opens the lid, the message lands before they have taken a single bite. It is personal, it is delicious, and it works for almost any occasion, from a birthday surprise to a heartfelt thank you.

    This guide covers how the message works, the occasions they suit, the flavours available, and how to order, with ideas for every occasion towards the end of the page.

    How the Message Works

    There are two lovely ways to have a message on cupcakes. The first spells it out: a single letter or word on each cupcake so the whole box reads as your message, perfect for “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, a name, or “I LOVE YOU”. The second writes a short message on each cupcake individually, so every one carries the sentiment. Just tell us your words and we will set out the design.

    Made to Order, Around Your Words

    Every box is a fresh brief. You choose the message, the colours and the flavours, and we build it around your idea. For something more elaborate, an edible photo, a fully bespoke design, our Personalised Cakes service covers the most ambitious custom work.

    How the Made-to-Order Process Works

    Configure your order through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke message. We confirm the wording, colours, flavours and delivery details with you before we begin, then bake everything fresh for your date, nothing is frozen and nothing is mass-produced.

    Flavours for Your Message Cupcakes

    The flavour is yours to choose. Our cupcakes come in our signature sponges, Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla & Chocolate, Red Velvet and Rainbow Vanilla, topped with a buttercream from Vanilla, Chocolate, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Lemon, Oreo, Biscoff, Hazelnut or Cream Cheese. Mix and match across the box, or keep it simple with a single crowd-pleasing flavour throughout.

    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 the person celebrating has a diagnosed food allergy, please speak to us before ordering.

    More Ways to Personalise

    Candles, a helium foil balloon and a gift note round off the treat. If you would rather have a logo than a message, our Branded Cupcakes are made for business and branding, while pretty Floral Cupcakes add an elegant, decorative touch. For every other style, our full Cupcakes Birmingham range has you covered.

    How to Order and Send Message Cupcakes

    Every order is handcrafted to order and delivered across Birmingham and the West Midlands by our own vans, never a postal courier, which makes sending a surprise box straight to someone’s door easy. 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.

    Need them quickly? Same-day cake delivery is available when you order by 11am, next-day cake delivery the day before, and collection from our factory daily between 9:00 and 9:30am. For a longer or more detailed message, ordering a day or two ahead is ideal.

    Message Cupcakes: Frequently Asked Questions

    How does a message cupcake work?

    You can have a message on cupcakes spelled out across the box, one letter or word per cupcake, or written on each cupcake individually. Just send us your wording and we will design it.

    It depends on how many cupcakes you order, the more cupcakes, the longer the message you can spell out. Tell us your words and the box size, and we will advise on the best layout.

    Almost any birthdays, congratulations, thank you, new baby, get well, anniversaries, even a proposal. A cupcake with message is a lovely way to mark the moment.

    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.

    Yes, our cake shop Birmingham delivers to residential homes, offices, restaurants, hotels, and event venues across all B1 to B99 postcodes. Please ensure that someone is available to receive the cake during the allocated delivery window.

    If your cake is being delivered to a venue or restaurant, we kindly ask that you inform the manager in advance, as the cake will need to be stored in their fridge. Some venues have their own delivery policies or restrictions, so it is always best to check with them beforehand to avoid any issues.

    Unfortunately, we are unable to deliver to venues that do not open until after 12:00 pm. Some locations operate only in the evening or by appointment, which means there may be no one available to receive the cake during our delivery hours. In these cases, we recommend using our collection service to ensure your cake arrives safely and on time.

    Absolutely! Our cake shop Birmingham makes surprise cake deliveries easy. Simply enter the recipient’s address and contact number at checkout, and add a note in the order comments to let us know it is a surprise. Our team will take care of the rest.

    Please ensure that someone is available to receive the cake during the allocated delivery window, as missed deliveries may occur if no one is present at the address. We want your surprise celebration to go perfectly.

    If no one is available at the delivery address, our cake shop Birmingham will follow one of two procedures depending on the type of product ordered.

    Products that do not require refrigeration (such as cupcakes, pizza cakes, cakesicles, and similar items):
    We may leave the order with a nearby neighbour if someone is available and willing to accept it. A notification will be sent to the contact details provided at checkout.

    Cakes that require refrigeration (such as layered buttercream cakes):
    If no one is available to receive the cake, you will be notified by email and the cake will be returned to our Birmingham factory. We are unable to redeliver on the same day.

    You will then have two options:

    • Arrange redelivery for the following day (an additional delivery charge will apply).
    • Collect your cake the next morning between 9:00 am and 9:30 am from our cake shop Birmingham factory.

    We understand that unexpected situations can arise, and we will always do our best to ensure your cake reaches you fresh and in perfect condition.

    Message Cupcake Ideas for Every Occasion

    The beauty of a message cupcake is that the words can say anything. Here are the occasions people order them for most, each with a message that lands.

    Birthday Messages

    A box spelling out “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” or the birthday person’s name is a brilliant alternative to a card, cheerful, personal and gone by the end of the party.

    Love and Romance

    “I LOVE YOU”, “BE MINE” or a pet name across a box of cupcakes makes a sweet romantic gesture for an anniversary, Valentine’s or just because.

    Congratulations

    For a new job, exam results, a new home or a promotion, a “CONGRATULATIONS” or “WELL DONE” box celebrates the achievement in style.

    Thank You

    A simple “THANK YOU” box is a warm, edible way to show appreciation, to a teacher, a friend, a colleague or anyone who has gone the extra mile.

    New Baby and Get Well

    Welcome a new arrival with a “WELCOME BABY” box, or cheer someone up with a “GET WELL SOON” message delivered straight to their door.

    Proposals and Big Questions

    Asking a big question? A box that spells out “MARRY ME?” or “WILL YOU?” turns a message cupcake into an unforgettable moment.

    Whatever you want to say, we will spell it out for you.
