A birthday cake should look like the person it is for. That is difficult to do from a supermarket chiller and easy to do when someone makes it by hand.
Get a Free QuoteHighams Park is a close knit village-feel neighbourhood built around its lake and station, and one of our nearest delivery areas. Bake You Happy makes birthday 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.
Highams Park has a village feel that the rest of E4 does not quite share, built around the lake and the little parade by the station. Birthdays here are often small and local, at home or in one of the church and community halls, and word of mouth travels fast. It is one of our nearest areas, so short-notice orders are usually possible.
We cover the whole of Highams Park and the E4 postcodes, including Highams Park, Hale End, The Avenue, Handsworth Avenue, Winchester Road, Beech Hall and Oak Hill. 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 Highams Park include:
Collection from our Chingford kitchen is an easy run from Highams Park if you would rather pick the cake up yourself.
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 20 minutes from Highams Park, 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.
Single tier birthday cakes start from £60 for a six inch and £80 for an eight inch. Two tier cakes start from £120 and number cakes from £70. 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 Highams Park and the surrounding E4 area, including Highams Park, Hale End, The Avenue, Handsworth Avenue and the rest of the neighbourhood. Our kitchen is about 20 minutes away, so your cake travels a short distance and arrives in good condition.

Most birthday cakes need about a week's notice. Simple designs can sometimes be done in two or three days, so it is worth asking even at short notice.
Yes. We regularly deliver to homes, halls and venues around Highams Park, including places such as Highams Park Lake and The Regal. 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.
