Looking for a cake shop in Jeddah for a birthday, a graduation or a gift, while every shop says its cakes are the ones to get? Claims are easy; the order is what tells you. So here are seven questions to ask any shop selling cakes in Jeddah before you pay. Then we'll show how each one works at Avon Cake, and what to order for your occasion.
Choosing a cake shop in Jeddah: 7 questions to ask
Where to order depends on your occasion, your guest count and when the party starts. But these questions quickly show you which shops are clear about what you get:
- Is the photo the actual cake? Check that each product has its own photo, and that the description says what may differ slightly.
- How many people does it serve? A shop that lists servings for every size saves you guessing, and saves you a cake that's too small.
- What's the filling, and what's the cake flavour? They're two different things, so ask about both.
- Where does the message go? On the cake itself or on the board, and how many characters?
- Can you order for today? For which slots, and do large sizes need notice?
- What's the delivery fee, and when does it arrive? A clear time slot lets you plan the party without worrying.
- Pickup and custom designs? Is there a branch in Jeddah to collect from, and can you design your own cake?
If a shop doesn't answer these on the product page, ask before you pay. On price, compare the final total for the same size and filling, since the first number you see may not include extras.
Same questions, our answers
- Photos: every cake in the shop has its own photo, and the description notes what can change. The Acrylic Box with Divider, for example, says we use the available colour if red roses aren't in.
- Servings: listed on every product page, and in the table below.
- Filling and flavour: most of our cakes offer five fillings: cream, Nutella, blueberry, Lotus and pistachio. The cake flavour is chocolate, and vanilla is only in selected cities and booked a day ahead. More in the cake fillings guide.
- Writing: up to 25 characters, and the product page tells you whether it goes on the cake or the board.
- Delivery: 29 SAR, free for orders from 300 SAR, in three daily slots.
- Pickup: from our branch in Jeddah.
- Your own design: in Design Your Cake you pick the shape, filling, colour and writing, and you can print a photo and add extras.
How many people does a cake serve?
| Size | Serves |
|---|---|

| 6" | 6–8 |
| 8" | 12–16 |

If your guest count falls between two sizes, go for the bigger one. For double-height, tiered and rectangular cakes, see the cake size guide.
