Right. This one’s for the words you want to spell. Not everyone wants a round cake or a number cake. Sometimes you want to spell something out. A name. An age. A word like “LOVE” or “MUM” or “BABY”. That’s where alphabetic cakes come in. Each letter is its own little cake, carved into the shape of a letter, and you arrange them to form the word you want. Someone asked me a while back: “can you make a cake that spells ‘AMY’ for my daughter’s 18th? She’s not into numbers – she wants her name.” I said yeah, course. I baked four rectangular cakes, carved them into A, M, Y, covered them in pink buttercream, and added a few sprinkles. She cried. That’s a win. So here it is: Alphabetic Cake – available at our Bromley bakery. It’s a set of letter‑shaped cakes (any letters A–Z, plus space for a short word). Feeds 2–3 people per letter – so a 4‑letter name feeds about 8–12 people. Perfect for a birthday, anniversary, baby shower, graduation, proposal, or any time you want to say something sweet with cake. What’s in it? Sponge – vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, or carrot. Your choice. You can have the same flavour for all letters, or mix them up. Frosting – buttercream in any colour you want. Match the party theme, or go classic white, pink, blue, or gold. The letters – I bake rectangular cakes, then carve each one into the letter you need. Uppercase or lowercase – you tell me. They’re handmade, so not perfect like a machine, but you’ll recognise the letter. The details – smooth or swirled buttercream, a simple drip, sprinkles, or a piped message on a separate plaque. The look – each letter stands on its own, so you can arrange them in a row, a circle, or scattered on the table. Very Instagram‑friendly. It’s the cake that literally spells out the celebration. And it’s fun to serve – each person grabs their own letter. Who buys this? Name cake – for a child’s birthday (e.g., “LEO”, “MAYA”). Word cake – “LOVE” for Valentine’s or an anniversary, “MUM” for Mother’s Day, “BABY” for a baby shower. Graduation cake – “GRAD” or the graduate’s name. Proposal cake – “MARRY ME” or just “YES”. Just because – you want a cake that’s personal and unique. Honestly? Anyone who wants to eat their words (literally). Can I get any word? Yes. Up to about 8 letters – any more than that and the cake becomes very long and hard to transport. Short words are best: “LOVE”, “MUM”, “DAD”, “BABY”, “SAM”, “ZOEY”, etc. Can I get a different colour for each letter? Yes. Rainbow letters are very popular. Or all one colour, or a gradient. Just tell me. Can I add a message or extra decoration? Course. A few flowers, some sprinkles, edible pearls, or a little topper. I can also pipe a small message on a separate plaque. How much notice? At least a week for alphabetic cakes – carving letters takes time. Order online or message me – I’ll be honest. Collection or delivery? Collect from our Bromley shop or local delivery if you're nearby. Letters are separate pieces, so they’re easier to transport than a tower cake. One thing to mention… The letters are carved by hand – they won’t be perfectly uniform. That’s the handmade charm. Also, for words like “MUM”, the two M’s might look slightly different – that’s normal. Right. That’s the Alphabetic Cake one done.For the people who want their cake to say exactly what they mean. No numbers, no shapes – just letters, made of cake.
