Want to send a cake in Saudi Arabia to your mum in Jeddah while you're in Riyadh? Or you live abroad and want a birthday cake to reach your brother or a friend on the day? This guide is about one case: ordering a cake online as a gift for someone else in Saudi Arabia: who can order, the steps, timing in Saudi time, what to write, and which size fits their home.
Who can send a cake, and where it can go
Anyone can place the order. What matters is that the person receiving it is in one of our 10 cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Qatif, Al-Ahsa, Makkah, Madinah, Buraydah or Unaizah. We deliver across the whole of these cities, and you don't need an account to order.
Each city has its own guide, such as cakes in Riyadh, cakes in Jeddah and cakes in Dammam.
Where the cake can go: cities, fee and slots
- Cities: the 9 above, delivery anywhere within them.
- Fee: 29 SAR per order, free for orders from 300 SAR.
- Slots, in Saudi Arabia time: 9am–2pm, 2pm–7pm and 7pm–midnight. A closed or full slot can't be selected.
- Pickup: from a branch in every city except Unaizah, if the person would rather collect it.
Full details are on our delivery page and in cake delivery in Saudi Arabia: cities, slots and booking.
Send a cake to someone in Saudi Arabia, step by step
- Choose the recipient's city first, not yours. The cakes you see depend on the city, and delivery depends on branch stock and slot capacity there.
- Pick the cake, size and filling, and type the line for the cake if the design takes one.
- Choose delivery, then the date and a slot when they'll be home.
- At checkout, enter your details and the recipient's delivery details. You can add a gift note there too.

Sending from abroad
- Slots run on Saudi Arabia time. Work out the time difference before you pick one.
- The order works the same way, with no account needed.
- A question before you pay? The customer service WhatsApp number is on the Help page, linked at the bottom of the site.
Can it arrive today?
- Regular sizes: each slot closes when it starts, so you can book for today while a slot is still open.
- Morning slot: in Jeddah, Al-Ahsa, Makkah, Madinah, Buraydah and Unaizah it must be booked by 11pm the day before. In Riyadh, Dammam and Khobar it closes when it starts.
- Large sizes (12-inch round or heart, 10×14, 11×21, square 6×8): book at least the day before; their morning slot closes at 7pm the previous day.
- Tall two-tier cakes (5+7 and 6+8 inch): for the same day, only the 7pm–midnight slot, booked by 3pm.
The message on the cake, and the gift note
These are two different things:
- The line on the cake: up to 25 characters with spaces, typed on the cake's page. It goes on the cake or the base, depending on the design. For example "Happy birthday, Mama", "Miss you, Khalid" or «كل عام وأنت بخير يا أمي».
- The gift note: written at checkout.
