    I recently ordered a cake from Thelwall Bakehouse for my son’s Baptism and 1st Birthday, and I couldn’t have been happier with the result. I sent over a few inspiration photos of what I had in mind, and Geraldine brought my vision to life exactly as I imagined it. The party was Peter Rabbit themed, and the cake reflected this beautifully with incredible attention to detail. It was almost too perfect to cut into! Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted delicious too. I’m so grateful for the care and talent that went into creating such a special cake for an important occasion. I will definitely be using Geraldine at Thelwall Bakehouse again in the future. Thank you so much!

Christening cake designs

Girl's christening cake with Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck decorations

Delicate designs for her special day

Soft pinks, lilacs, ivory whites, and mint greens - the colour palette for a girl's christening cake is as beautiful as the occasion itself. I can create anything from a simple single-tier with elegant piped detail to a more elaborate design featuring hand-crafted sugar flowers, delicate lace effects, or fondant figures.

Every cake is made entirely from scratch and designed around your vision. Bring me your ideas - a colour scheme, a theme, a photo you love - and I'll bring it to life.

Classic and contemporary designs for him

Blues, sage greens, and crisp whites are perennial favourites for a boy's christening cake. Traditional designs featuring crosses, teddy bears, and ribbon detail sit comfortably alongside more playful styles - animals, Noah's arks, trains, or nautical themes are all popular choices.

Whatever direction you want to take it, I'll work with you to design something that feels just right for the occasion and the family.

Gender-neutral designs for every family

Not every family wants to go pink or blue - and that's exactly what makes gender-neutral christening cakes so beautiful to design. Soft yellows, mint greens, creams, and natural tones all make for an elegant and timeless christening cake.

Themes like woodland animals, rainbows, stars, or simple floral arrangements work brilliantly for gender-neutral celebrations. Get in touch and we'll design something that feels personal to your family.

Spoilt for choice on flavours?

From classic vanilla and lemon to chocolate, salted caramel, and more - every tier of your christening cake can be a different flavour. Visit the flavours page to see the full menu.

Common questions

  • How much does a christening cake cost?

    Prices depend on the size, tier count, and design complexity. A 6" single-tier cake starts from £75, with more detailed designs priced accordingly. Get in touch with your date and requirements and I'll come back to you with a personalised quote.

  • How far in advance should I order?

    Please order at least 6-8 weeks in advance where possible, and earlier during busy periods like spring and summer when christenings are most popular. Last-minute enquiries are always welcome though, so it's worth asking even if the date is soon.

  • What size cake do I need?

    It depends on your guest numbers and whether the cake is your main dessert or one of several. As a guide, a 6" single-tier cake feeds approximately 20 people, while a 2-tier feeds approximately 50. Get in touch and I'll help you work out the right size for your celebration.

  • Can I choose the flavour?

    Yes - each tier can be a different flavour, so there's plenty of scope to cater for different tastes. Popular choices for christening cakes include vanilla, lemon, and almond, but I offer a wide range. Visit the flavours page to see the full menu.

  • Do you cater for dietary requirements?

    Yes - I can accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan requirements. Please mention this when you get in touch so I can factor it in from the start. Everything is made in my home kitchen, which also handles nuts, gluten, dairy and eggs, so I can't guarantee any bake is completely free from them.

  • Can I collect the cake?

    Collection from my home in Thelwall, Warrington - I'll arrange a convenient time with you once your order is confirmed. I only deliver for weddings, civil ceremonies and vow renewals.

  • Do you make christening cakes alongside matching cupcakes or biscuits?

    Yes - this is a popular option for christening celebrations. I can create matching cupcakes or iced biscuits to complement your main cake, which are great for guests to take home as favours. Just mention it when you enquire.
