In Saudi Arabia a celebration cake goes by several names: جاتوه (gateau), قاتوه, كاتو or تورتة. At Avon Cake they all mean the same thing: a decorated cake in a design you choose, ordered online and delivered ready to serve. So if you're searching for a birthday gateau, whichever spelling you typed, you'll find it in one place. Here's what to order by occasion and size, how to add writing, and how it reaches you.
Designs by occasion
For a girl, sister or friend who loves flowers:
- Garden Cake: light green cream with piped roses, flowers and purple butterflies, with your message on top. From 5-inch (serves 3–4) up to 12-inch (28–32).
- Bow Cake: a white cake with a large pink sugar-paste bow and cream rosebuds. From 6-inch (serves 6–8).
- Glitter Cake: pearls, glitter and a crown. From 5-inch (serves 3–4), with your message on the board.
For a simple, modern look:
- Waterfall Cake: white cream streaks falling from the top, with a candle tied in a ribbon. From 6-inch (serves 6–8).
More designs are in birthday cakes. Still undecided? How to choose a birthday cake narrows it down.
A small gateau for one person or a light get-together
Not every birthday needs a big cake. For one or two people, or a small gift:
- Gradient Cup: a cup cake with gradient pink or blue cream and white pearls, with your message on top. You can add 3 natural Jori roses.
- Crystal Martini: a mini cake in a martini glass, with two designs to pick from. The crystals are decoration only and not edible, so remove them before eating. The martini takes two fillings.
- Two-Tier Mini Cake: 2+4 inch (serves 3–4) or 4+6 inch (8–10).
All the small sizes are in mini cakes.

Writing on the cake
Most designs let you add your own message, up to 25 characters. Where it goes differs: on the cake, on the base or on the board, and the product page tells you. Need ideas? See what to write on a cake.
Filling is not cake flavour
This is where people mix things up:
- Filling: you pick it on the product page: cream, Nutella, blueberry, Lotus or pistachio.
- Cake flavour: chosen separately: chocolate, and vanilla in selected cities, booked a day ahead.
Nutella and pistachio contain nuts, so check with your guests first. To compare fillings, see the cake fillings guide.
Want to design your own?
In Design Your Cake you go step by step: shape, filling, colour, design (writing on the cake or board), photo printing and extras.

FAQ
Is a gateau different from a cake?
Not here. They're all decorated cakes: you pick the design, size and filling, and it's delivered.
I want a small gateau for one person. What should I order?
A cup or a martini, each serving 1–2. For something a bit bigger, a 4-inch cake serves 2–3.
How many characters can I write?
Up to 25 characters, on products that offer writing and in Design Your Cake.
Is the filling the same as the cake flavour?
No. The filling (cream, Nutella, blueberry, Lotus, pistachio) is picked on the product page. The cake flavour is chocolate, and vanilla in selected cities, booked a day ahead.
Can I order it for the same day?
Yes, regular sizes, while a slot is open. Large sizes like 12-inch are booked the day before.
