If you're looking for a cake website to order from, here's how it works on Avon Cake, a Saudi online cake shop. You pick a ready design or build your own, and the cake is delivered to your door or collected from a branch. These are the steps in the order you'll see them.
The steps at a glance
- Choose your city.
- Pick a ready design, or start from "Design your cake".
- Set the cake flavour, size and filling.
- Add your writing (optional).
- Choose a delivery slot, or branch pickup.
1. Choose your city first
The city name (Riyadh, for example) sits at the top of the page, and you can change it there. We deliver to 10 cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Qatif, Al-Ahsa, Makkah, Madinah, Buraydah and Unaizah. Availability varies by city, so choosing first means you only see what you can actually order.
2. Pick a design, or design it yourself
You have two ways in:
A ready design. Open the section that fits your occasion, such as birthday cakes or mini cakes, and pick what you like. Not sure? How to choose a birthday cake can help.
Design your cake. On Design your cake you build it step by step: shape, then filling, colour, design (writing on the cake or the board), photo printing and extras. Each detail is yours to set.
If you'd rather decorate it yourself, try the DIY decorate-yourself cake.
Cakes to start from
- Garden cake: sizes from 5-inch (3–4 people) to 12-inch (28–32 people).
- Martini cake: a glass for one or two people, with two fillings to choose.
- Two-tier mini cake: 2+4 inch serves 3–4 people, 4+6 inch serves 8–10.
Ready-made or custom: how to decide
- Choose a ready design if your occasion is close and you want to see the final look before ordering. Open the cake and you'll see its sizes, fillings and the nearest delivery on the same page.
- Choose "Design your cake" if you already have an idea: a shape, a colour, some writing, and you want to put it together yourself.
- Choose the DIY cake if you enjoy decorating, for example with kids at home.
In all three cases the steps after that are the same: size, filling, writing, then delivery.
3. Flavour, size and filling
On a cake's page you'll find these choices in order:
- Cake flavour: chocolate, and vanilla in selected cities, booked a day ahead.
- Size: each size shows how many people it serves, so you can match it to your guests. Sizes vary from cake to cake. For a comparison, see cake sizes and servings.
- Filling: cream, Nutella, blueberry, Lotus, pistachio. Most cakes offer all five, and a few have no filling choice.
The filling is not the cake flavour. You choose the flavour (chocolate) on its own, then the filling. More in the cake fillings guide.
4. Writing on the cake
If the cake takes writing, you can add a message of up to 25 characters, such as a name or a greeting. If you're designing from scratch, writing is part of the design step.
5. Delivery or pickup
- Delivery slots: 9am–2pm, 2pm–7pm, 7pm–midnight.
- Fee: 29 SAR, free for orders from 300 SAR.
- Pickup: from a branch in every city except Unaizah.
- Same day: regular sizes can be booked for the same day while a slot is open. The cake's page shows the nearest delivery and the time left to order.
- Large sizes: such as 12-inch, must be booked the day before.
Outside Riyadh, the morning slot must be booked by 11pm the day before. Full details are on the delivery page. If you're looking for a cake shop near you, see cake shop near me.
Tips before you tap "Buy now"
- Count your guests: if the number falls between two sizes, take the bigger one.
- Pick your city first: so you don't fall for a cake and find it isn't available where you are.
- Plan vanilla early: it has to be booked a day ahead.
- Check the writing: make sure the name and message are right before you confirm.
