The first step in ordering birthday cakes delivered in Birmingham from The Cravery is selecting your flavour. We offer three signature flavours, each crafted to deliver an exceptional taste experience that elevates any birthday celebration.
Vanilla
Our Vanilla birthday cake is a timeless classic that appeals to every age group and palate. Crafted with the finest vanilla extract, the sponge is light, moist, and aromatic a perfect balance of sweetness and elegance. Vanilla is the most versatile of our three flavours, serving as a beautiful canvas for custom decorations, personalised messages, and themed designs. Whether you are ordering a child’s character cake, an elegant adult celebration cake, or a simple yet stunning centrepiece, Vanilla delivers every time.
Chocolate
For the chocolate lovers in your life, our Chocolate birthday cake is pure indulgence. Made with premium cocoa, the sponge achieves a rich, velvety depth that satisfies from the very first bite. The texture is dense yet moist, with a deep cocoa flavour that lingers beautifully. Our Chocolate birthday cake is a favourite for milestone celebrations, surprise deliveries, and anyone who believes that a birthday simply is not complete without chocolate. It pairs exceptionally well with our range of spreads for an extra layer of decadence.
Red Velvet
Our Red Velvet birthday cake is the showstopper of our collection. With its signature deep crimson hue and subtle cocoa undertones, Red Velvet offers a flavour profile that is sophisticated, memorable, and visually stunning. The sponge is exceptionally smooth, with a delicate tanginess that sets it apart from any other cake. Red Velvet is the perfect choice for milestone birthdays 18th, 21st, 30th, 50th where you want the cake to make as bold a statement as the celebration itself.
Once you have chosen your flavour, the next step in ordering birthday cakes delivered in Birmingham is making it uniquely yours. The Cravery offers a range of personalisation options that transform a beautiful cake into a truly personal celebration centrepiece.

Your Cravery birthday cake is handcrafted with care, and a few simple steps will ensure it remains in perfect condition from delivery to the moment you cut the first slice.
Upon Delivery
When your birthday cake arrives, carefully remove it from the packaging and place it on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and draughts. If the cake will not be served within the next hour, store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and structural integrity.
Before Serving
For the best flavour and texture, remove your birthday cake from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before serving. This allows the sponge to return to room temperature, bringing out the full richness of the Vanilla, Chocolate, or Red Velvet flavour. Add candles and any final decorations just before presenting the cake.
Storing Leftovers
If there are any leftovers though we find this is rare store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Our cakes remain delicious for up to three days when stored correctly. The jams and spreads within the cake help maintain moisture, ensuring every slice is as enjoyable as the first.
Transportation Tips
If you are collecting your birthday cake from St. Paul’s Square or transporting it from the delivery address to a party venue, keep the cake in its original packaging, place it on a flat surface in your vehicle, and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns. Our packaging is designed to protect the cake during transit, but gentle handling always helps.
