A baby shower cake gets photographed more than almost anything else we make. It wants to look lovely, feed a room full of people, and not be the thing anyone has to worry about.
Get a Free QuoteEnfield is a large, established north London borough with a strong mix of young families, long-settled households and a busy town centre. Bake You Happy makes baby shower cakes by hand for families right across the area, and delivers them personally rather than sending them by courier.
Every cake is designed from scratch with you. There is no catalogue to pick from and no set menu of shapes. You tell Paulina about the occasion, the people and the look you have in mind, and she builds the design around that.
Baby showers in Enfield are usually held at home or in a hired hall, and they tend to be big. Extended families here do not do small. That changes the brief: the cake has to feed thirty or forty people comfortably, survive a few hours on a table, and still look right in the photographs everyone takes when it is cut.
We cover the whole of Enfield and the EN1, EN2 and EN3 postcodes, including Enfield Town, Bush Hill Park, Winchmore Hill, Forty Hill, Grange Park, Enfield Chase, Southbury, Ponders End, Clay Hill and Botany Bay. If you are just outside that, ask anyway, we usually can.
We deliver to homes, halls, churches and venues throughout the area. Places we know well in and around Enfield include:
If you are doing a gender reveal, tell us how you would like the secret handled. Most people send us a sealed envelope or have the midwife email us directly, so nobody in the family has to know.
If your celebration is somewhere else entirely, that is no problem at all. Give us the venue name and address and we will speak to them directly about access and timing.
Our kitchen sits about 15 minutes from Enfield, which matters more than it sounds. A tiered cake does not travel well, and a shorter journey means less time in the car and a cake that arrives exactly as it left. We deliver it ourselves and, for tiered cakes, assemble it on site rather than moving it built.
The most common mistake with a shower cake is ordering for the guest list rather than the room. Showers are grazing occasions. People arrive across a couple of hours, eat standing up, and a fair few take a slice home for someone who could not come. For thirty guests we would usually suggest a cake cut for forty, or a smaller cake with a tray of cupcakes alongside so there is something to hand round while the main one is still on the table. If the shower is a surprise, that changes the timing more than the design. We can deliver to a neighbour, arrive before the guest of honour, or leave the cake boxed and out of sight until someone is ready to bring it through. Just tell us who is in on it. Enfield showers also tend to run long, so we will talk to you about a finish that still looks good at the end of the afternoon rather than only in the first photograph.
Baby shower cakes start from £70 for a single tier and £140 for two tiers, with cupcakes from £30 for a box of twelve. A £50 deposit secures your date, with the balance due before delivery. There is a full breakdown on our cake prices page.
Send Paulina a message with your date, roughly how many people you are feeding, and any idea of the look you want, even a rough one. She will reply personally, talk it through with you and send a quote. You can also read the full ordering guide first if you prefer.
Yes. We deliver across Enfield and the surrounding EN1, EN2 and EN3 area, including Enfield Town, Bush Hill Park, Winchmore Hill, Forty Hill and the rest of the neighbourhood. Our kitchen is about 15 minutes away, so your cake travels a short distance and arrives in good condition.
Baby shower cakes start from £70 for a single tier and £140 for two tiers, with cupcakes from £30 for a box of twelve. Every cake is quoted individually once we know the size, the design and the date.
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a baby shower cake. Gender reveal cakes need a little longer, mostly so we can agree how the secret gets to us without spoiling it.
Yes. We regularly deliver to homes, halls and venues around Enfield, including places such as Forty Hall Estate and Capel Manor Gardens. Just give us the venue name, the address and a contact on the day and we will arrange the timing directly with them.
Yes. We make vegan and gluten free cakes with the same designs and finishes as everything else, usually with a small supplement. Everything is baked in a kitchen that handles nuts, gluten, wheat, dairy and egg, so we label clearly but cannot promise an item is free from all traces.
Every cake is designed from scratch, so there is no price list to pick from. Send a few details and Paulina will reply personally with ideas and a quote. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
She reads every enquiry herself and will reply to you personally, usually within a day. Her reply will come from paulina@bakeyouhappy.co, so do add that to your contacts.
If your date is close, or you would rather just talk it through, message her on WhatsApp on 07514 660 451 and she will come back to you faster.
