Not every celebration needs a big cake. Sometimes you want a gift for one person, a cake for two, or something for a small get-together at home, and that's where a mini cake comes in. At Avon Cake we have several kinds of small cake: the Mini Two-Tier, the Martini cake, the Lunch Box, the Cake Cup and the Mini Ring Box. This guide helps you pick by occasion and number of people, with a servings table, writing options and same-day ordering. You'll find the full range on our Mini Cakes page.
Pick a mini cake by occasion
A gift for one person
- Martini Cake: cake served in a martini glass with a plate, inside a gift box. For when the gift should feel special.
- Mini Heart Ring Box: a 2-inch heart, close to cupcake size, in a box that opens like a ring box. A sweet surprise.
- Cake Cup: a cake in a cup with white flowers and your message on top. Want more flowers? The Cup with Fresh Flowers comes with 5 fresh roses.
For two
- Birthday Lunch Box: a 4-inch cake in a burger box with a birthday drawing. It serves two, in white, pink or sky blue.
- Mini Two-Tier Cake in 2+4 inch: serves 2–3 people, if you want a proper two-tier cake.
A small get-together (5–6 people)
- Mini Two-Tier in 4+6 inch: serves 5–6 people and comes in pink.
- Prefer white? The Mini Heart Two-Tier is heart-shaped, and the Mini Joy Cake comes in the same two sizes.
