Want a small gift that turns up at someone's door, or a dessert where every guest gets their own? A cake cup is cake in a cup, topped with cream, a drawing and the line you write. It's ready to eat as it is, with nothing to slice. Here are Avon Cake's cake cups sorted by occasion: birthdays, with flowers, with coffee, congratulations, kids and get-well. You'll also find the fillings, what to write, how many to order and how delivery works.
What is a cake in a cup?
It's cake and cream in a cup, with a drawing and a short line on top. There's one size, so all you pick is the design, the filling and your words. It works as a gift for one person, or as a party treat with a cup for every guest.
These aren't cupcakes. Cupcakes are single small cakes in paper cases, and they have their own guide: cupcakes for occasions.
Birthday cake cups
- Birthday cake cup: light cream with a party drawing and your line ("HBD to me 18" in the photo). For a friend, a relative or yourself, and you can add a cup of coffee.
- Cake Cup: two little figures hugging, small red hearts and your line above them, such as H.B.D and a name. Sweet for a friend's or a sister's birthday.

Cake cups with flowers
- Cup with natural roses: a cake cup that comes with 5 natural roses. If the rose colour in the photo isn't available, you get the colour that is.
- Cup with flowers: a cake cup in white cream with colourful sprinkles, plus a cup holding a bunch of natural flowers, both in one cardboard carrier.
Some of the other cups, such as the birthday, graduate and drawing cups, let you add 3 roses when you order. Availability varies by city.
Cake cup with coffee
Cake cup with Avon coffee: a cake cup with a drawing and your line, plus a cup of Avon coffee. Cake and coffee in one gift, for a morning surprise, a visit or any occasion. The birthday cup above can take a coffee too.
Congratulations: graduation, driving licence, acceptance
- Congrats graduate cake cup: white cream with a graduation cap and a border of red hearts, plus the congratulations line you write. A small gift for a new graduate.
- Driving licence congrats cup: a purple convertible and «مبروك الرخصة» ("congrats on your licence"), for someone who just passed their driving test. The roses in its photo aren't included.
- Accepted cake cup: purple cream and white pearls, with «ثانوية، قدرات، تحصيلي» (high school, aptitude test, achievement test) crossed out and «قبول» ("accepted") in blue with a tick. Made for university acceptance news. Its words are fixed, so there's no writing field.
Cake cups for kids
- Unicorn Cup: pink cream, a white unicorn head with a purple mane and little pastel flowers, and your line above it ("Birthday Princess" in the photo). For your little girl's birthday.
- Cake cup with a drawing: white cream with a blue teddy in a party hat, plus your line ("We like to party" in the photo).
At a kids' party, a cup for each child means no cutting and no handing out slices.
Get-well
Nose get-well cup: a bandaged nose and «سلامة خشمك» ("get well, nose") in blue. A funny gift for someone after nose surgery, and you can change the writing if you'd rather say something else.
Decorate your own
With Decorate it yourself you can pick "cup" as the size. The cake arrives in plain white cream with piping bags in 3 colours you choose and two jars: pearls and sprinkles. A fun one to do with kids.
Fillings, flavour and writing
- Filling: every cup here offers five: cream, Nutella, blueberry, Lotus and pistachio.
- Cake flavour: chocolate. Vanilla is available in selected cities, booked a day ahead.
- Writing: most cups have a field for writing on the cake, up to 25 characters. The Accepted cup's words are fixed, and the licence cup already reads «مبروك الرخصة».
A few short ideas:
- "Happy birthday, Sara"
- "Morning, sunshine" with the coffee cup
- "So proud of you, Dr!" for a graduate
- "Get well soon"
- «كل عام وأنت بخير» in Arabic
