    Artisan Cakes, Handcrafted to Order

    Artisan cakes are premium cakes handcrafted to order by skilled hands, baked fresh rather than mass-produced, and finished by hand rather than stamped out by a machine, for a quality you can see and taste. At The Cravery, every artisan cake is made individually for your order at our Birmingham factory, never pulled frozen from a shelf, which is exactly what people mean when they look for a true cake shop Birmingham can rely on.

    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.

    The Complete Guide to Artisan Cakes

    “Artisan” is a word used loosely, so it is worth being clear about what it actually means: a cake made by hand, with care and skill, rather than churned out by the thousand. The difference is in the detail, the freshness, the hand-piped finish, the fact that your cake is made for you and nobody else. It is the opposite of a supermarket cake, and it is all we do.

    This guide covers what makes a cake genuinely artisan, the range of occasions we cover, the flavours available, and how to order, with the full craft story towards the end of the page.

    Made for You, Not for a Shelf

    Every cake is a fresh brief. Whether it is a showstopping centrepiece or a simple, elegant design, we build it around your idea, your flavours and your occasion rather than offering a fixed catalogue. For fully bespoke work, hand-painted detail, edible photos, sculpted designs, our Personalised Cakes service is where artisan craft really shines.

    How the Made-to-Order Process Works

    Configure your cake through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke design. We confirm the design, flavours and size with you before we begin, then bake it fresh for your date, nothing is frozen and nothing is mass-produced.

    Our Artisan Cake Range

    Whatever the occasion, the same care goes into every cake. Our artisan birthday cakes turn a birthday into something memorable, handcrafted in any design and flavour you like. For the biggest day of all, our artisan wedding cakes, covered in full on our Wedding Cakes page, bring elegant, hand-finished craft to the celebration. And for business events, launches and client gifting, our Corporate Cakes deliver the same premium quality with a professional finish.

    Flavours for Your Artisan Cake

    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. Every filling is prepared by hand in our kitchen, so the flavour is as carefully made as the design 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.

    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.

    What Makes Our Cakes Artisan

    Anyone can use the word, so here is exactly what it means at The Cravery, the things that make us a genuine artisan cake shop rather than a re-seller.

    Handcrafted to Order

    Every single cake is made individually for your order. We do not bake to stock or hold a freezer of ready-made cakes, your cake is built for you and your occasion, from scratch.

    Baked Fresh, Never Frozen

    Freshness is the heart of an artisan cake. We bake for your date so your cake arrives fresh, never defrosted, a difference you can taste in the very first bite.

    Finished by Hand by Skilled Decorators

    The detail is all human. Our decorators hand-pipe, sculpt and finish every cake themselves, so the buttercream work and the little touches are the product of real skill, not a machine.

    Bespoke, Not Off-the-Shelf

    An artisan cake is personal by definition. We design around your idea, your colours and your flavours, so no two cakes are ever quite the same, the opposite of an identical, mass-produced supermarket cake.

    Independent and Trusted

    We are an independent, family-run Birmingham factory, not a chain. That care shows in our 950+ five-star Google reviews and our 5-star FSA food hygiene rating, the kind of trust you can only earn one handcrafted cake at a time.

    That is what artisan means to us, and what goes into every cake we make.
