Some birthdays deserve more than just candles on top. When you want the age itself to be the centrepiece — when you want the number to stand proud and take up the entire table — that is when a numerical cake comes into its own. At Cakes & Bakes, our numerical cakes are handmade to order in any number from 0 to 9 (or double digits for milestone ages), crafted with your choice of sponge, filling, and design. These are cakes built to make the age feel celebrated, not just acknowledged.
Numerical cakes are shaped like numbers — typically single digits or double digits for milestone birthdays — and have become one of the most requested cake styles for celebrations in recent years. The appeal is straightforward: the cake itself becomes a visual statement about the age or achievement being celebrated. There is no confusion about what the occasion is, no need for a sign or banner — the cake announces it loud and clear.
They work brilliantly for children's birthdays, where seeing their age as a giant cake creates genuine excitement. They are equally effective for milestone birthdays in adulthood — turning 30, 40, 50, 60, or beyond — where the number itself becomes a talking point and a photo opportunity. First birthdays, anniversaries, graduation years, retirement ages, sporting achievements — if there is a number worth celebrating, a numerical cake makes it feel special.
Every numerical cake at Cakes & Bakes is handmade to order. When you place your order, we are not using a pre-made mould or template — we are actually shaping, baking, and decorating your cake specifically for you. You choose the number (or numbers for double-digit ages), the sponge (vanilla or chocolate, both available in regular and eggless versions), and the filling (vanilla fresh cream, chocolate fresh cream, or either with jam).
The cake can be personalised further with images or text of your choice, making it feel uniquely tailored to the person you are celebrating. Multiple design options are available, including Pink Punch, Blue Twilight, Pinkvilla, Orange Blossom, Pink Star, Fine Yellow, Frozen Theme, and Red Balloons. Each design brings its own colour scheme and decorative style, so you can choose the one that best suits the personality of the celebration.
Since every cake is handmade, slight variations in colour and design from the product images are completely natural — and entirely part of what makes each one genuinely artisan rather than mass-produced.
Numerical cakes are larger and shaped differently to traditional round or square cakes. Because of their size and shape, the cake boards used for these designs are often larger than standard refrigerator shelves and may not fit entirely in residential fridges. If you need to refrigerate your numerical cake, we recommend cutting it into smaller portions first to make storage easier. Fresh cream cakes can be kept at room temperature for up to 10 hours during summer and up to 1 day during winter.
Numerical cakes suit any occasion where a number is worth celebrating. Children's birthdays — particularly first birthdays and early milestone ages — are the most common use, but they work equally well for adult milestone birthdays, anniversaries (celebrating years together), graduations (celebrating the year), retirements, and sporting achievements. The visual impact of seeing the number itself as a cake makes the occasion feel more significant and memorable.
Both regular and eggless versions are available across all sponge and filling combinations. Fruits and chocolates used in decoration are subject to change based on availability. The cream used in our products is a heat-treated, sweetened alternative to fresh cream. If you have specific dietary requirements or allergies, please contact our team to confirm ingredients before placing your order.
