Heart cakes are heart-shaped celebration cakes made to order for romance and every happy occasion, from a vintage piped love heart cake to a two-tier heart wedding cake, each one handcrafted fresh in the colour, size and flavour you choose. Whether you call it a heart for cake fans, a heart shaped cake or a cake with heart shape, we make them all 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.
The heart shape never goes out of style. It works for an anniversary or a Valentine’s surprise, but just as beautifully for a birthday, an engagement, a wedding or simply telling someone you love them, which is why a heart shaped cake is one of the most versatile designs we make. Made to order, your heart cake can be anything from a sweet, simple single layer to a grand tiered centrepiece.
This guide covers the styles, colours, sizes and flavours available, how to order, and the heart cake designs people request most, broken down in full towards the end of the page.
Right now, nothing is more in demand than the vintage heart cake. Inspired by retro Lambeth piping, a heart lambeth cake layers intricate piped scrolls, shells and pearls of buttercream into something that looks straight out of a 1980s romance, nostalgic, ornate and beautifully photogenic. Our decorated heart shaped cakes in this style are some of our most-loved designs.
Every heart cake is a fresh brief. You choose the colour, the size, the flavour and the finish, and we build it around your idea rather than a fixed catalogue. For a fully bespoke design, an edible photo, hand-painted detail or a one-off concept, our Personalised Cakes service covers it all.
Configure your cake through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke design. We confirm the 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. Two flavours suit the heart shape especially well: a rich chocolate cake in heart shape for an indulgent treat, and a romantic heart red velvet cake, whose deep red interior is perfect for the occasion.
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.
Heart cakes scale to any celebration. A small heart cake or a 6 inch heart cake is perfect for an intimate gesture or a couple, an 8 inch heart cake suits a family gathering, and a 2 tier heart cake makes a real centrepiece for a bigger party. For weddings and grand occasions, a two tier heart cake or larger tiered design brings height and drama. Just tell us your numbers and we will recommend the right size.
Candles, a helium foil balloon and a personalised message card finish the cake. If you are celebrating a romantic occasion, our Valentine’s Cakes range is full of seasonal ideas, and a breakable Chocolate Heart Smash makes a fun, interactive gift alongside your cake. Planning a wedding? Our Wedding Cakes range covers heart-shaped designs for the big day in full.

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.

The beauty of the heart shape is how many ways it can be styled. Decide on the look first vintage, a bold colour, a particular size or a special occasion and the rest follows. Here are the directions people request most, each built fresh around your idea.
The standout trend. A vintage heart cake with ornate Lambeth piping, scrolls, shells, pearls and ruffles in buttercream is nostalgic, romantic and endlessly photogenic. Our decorated heart shaped cakes in this retro style suit everything from anniversaries to birthdays.
Colour sets the whole mood. A classic red heart cake or love heart cake is timeless romance, a soft pink heart cake is pretty and gentle, and for something bolder, a sleek black heart cake or a graphic black and white heart cake looks strikingly modern.
From a small heart cake or 6 inch heart cake for two, to an 8 inch heart cake for the family, up to a 2 tier heart cake centrepiece, the heart shape scales beautifully to any celebration.
A chocolate cake in heart shape is the indulgent favourite, while a romantic heart red velvet cake (or a red velvet heart shape cake) gives a beautiful deep-red interior that suits the occasion perfectly.
A heart birthday cake is a warm, personal way to celebrate someone you love. A heart shaped birthday cake works just as well for a child’s party in bright colours as for an elegant grown-up birthday.
Just said yes? An engagement heart cake makes a romantic centrepiece for the celebration, and an engagement cake heart shape design with the couple’s names or the date is a lovely keepsake of the moment.
The heart shape is gorgeous for weddings. A heart wedding cake or heart shape wedding cake brings romance to the day, and elegant 2 tier heart shaped wedding cakes make a memorable centrepiece, see our Wedding Cakes range for the full service.
Whatever look you love, we will build your heart cake around it.
