Message cupcakes are personalised cupcakes that spell out or carry your own message, handcrafted to order so a birthday wish, a thank you or an “I love you” is delivered one cupcake at a time. A cupcake with message on top turns a simple treat into a heartfelt gift, and every box is freshly made 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
“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.
For a new job, exam results, a new home or a promotion, a “CONGRATULATIONS” or “WELL DONE” box celebrates the achievement in style.
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.
Welcome a new arrival with a “WELCOME BABY” box, or cheer someone up with a “GET WELL SOON” message delivered straight to their door.
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.
