Looking for a plain cake to decorate yourself, or a simple one to add your own touch to? "Plain" can mean three different things, and each leaves you a different amount of work. Here's the difference, which size suits you, and what we offer.
3 kinds of "plain cake"
| Type | What arrives | What's left to do |
|---|---|---|
| No cream | A baked cake only | Cream, covering, colours, decorating |
| White, covered in cream | A ready cake with a white top | Just the decorating |
| White with a message | A simply decorated cake | Nothing |
- To decorate with no fuss: the second type. The surface is ready, so you can start straight away.
- To have it arrive simple and finished: the third type.
- To bake or cover it yourself: the first type, usually from a pastry supplier.
Our option: a ready white cake with its toppings
Our DIY cake is the closest fit for a ready to decorate cake. It arrives baked and covered in white cream, with:
- Coloured piping bags: 3 colours with the cup, martini and 4 inch; 6 colours with the 6 and 8 inch.
- Two jars: pearls and sprinkles.
- 8 colours to choose from: pink, sky blue, yellow, green, purple, red, black and white.
Inside, it's your choice: chocolate cake (vanilla in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam if you book a day ahead), with a cream, Nutella, berry, Lotus or pistachio filling.
Which size?
| Size | Serves | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Cup | 1–2 people | One per child, or a first try |
| Martini glass | 1–2 people | A small gift |
| 4 inch | 2–3 people | A simple birthday |
| 6 inch | 6–8 people | A family get-together |
| 8 inch | 12–16 people | A bigger group decorating together |
See all our sizes in the cake size guide.
Want a simple cake you don't have to decorate?
Build it in Design Your Cake: choose the shape and colour, then add a short message on the cake or board, up to 25 characters. It runs from a cup for 1–2 people to an 11×21 inch for 60–70, and large sizes need booking the day before. Writing is available on every size except the cup.
The simplest ways to decorate a white cake
- One-colour edge: dots around the rim, and that's it.
- One word: a name or "Congrats" in a dark colour in the centre.
- Sprinkle ring: a line of cream near the edge with sprinkles on top.
- Just two colours: they look tidier on white than lots of colours.
