How to Choose the Perfect Custom Cake for Any Occasion

Even though all cakes are created equal, some are given extra special care — especially when it comes to important celebrations. Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, baby shower, engagement, or even a team party, your cake should be as memorable as the moment. Here’s how to pick the perfect cake that checks every box: tasty, dreamy, theme-perfect, and turns heads.

1. Start with the Occasion

Each celebration has a vibe — and your cake should match it.

  • Birthdays: Go fun, colourful, and theme-driven. Think superheroes, florals, fantasy, or trending reels!
  • Anniversaries & Proposals: Elegant, romantic designs with soft tones and layers. Red Velvet always wins hearts — or pick your partner’s favourite flavour and colour for a personal touch.
  • Office Events: Branded or a quirky design based on team culture. Not sure what to pick? Fresh Fruit or Choco Truffle never goes wrong.

2. Consider Flavour + Audience

Are you serving kids? Adults? A mix? Choose from bestsellers like:

  • Black Forest (ever classic)
  • Chocolate truffle or Blackcurrant (crowd-pleaser)
  • Fresh fruit (light & elegant)
  • Butterscotch or Red Velvet (premium picks)
  • Rasmalai, Gulab Jamun or Rosemilk (sweet desi twists)

3. Design What You Imagine

Your cake can be completely custom — send us your ideas, Pinterest boards, or even a rough sketch. At Ovo & Latte, we bake them into reality. Or you can browse our custom cake gallery to pick the one that matches your vibe.

4. Size & Layers Matter

Use our handy size chart to choose the right fit:

  • 0.5 kg: Ideal for 2–4 people
  • 1 kg: Good for small parties (6–8)
  • 2 kg+: Perfect for larger celebrations

But honestly? It comes down to how much you love cake. More cake, the merrier — right?

5. Don’t Forget Add-ons

From edible photo prints to name tags and custom-made cake toppers — it’s the little touches that make it truly yours.
