Someone mentions at 10 AM that it's a colleague's birthday and there's a small gathering planned for later — and suddenly you're the one sorting a cake. Same-day delivery was made for exactly this. Here's how to make it work for a Dublin office.
Why Same-Day Suits Office Orders
A few details make this genuinely easy for workplace celebrations: there's no minimum order, so it works whether you're feeding 6 people or 60; personalisation (a name or short message) is free and doesn't slow anything down; and the cake is delivered handmade from our Dublin 8 kitchen the same day, so there's no need to plan days ahead for a celebration that was only decided this morning.
One Thing to Plan Around: Delivery Timing
Worth knowing before you order: weekday same-day deliveries land between 3 PM and 7 PM. If your office celebration is happening at lunchtime, a same-day delivery may arrive after the moment itself. A few ways around that:
- Collect instead. Collection from our Kilmainham studio is free, available 3–7 PM Wednesday to Friday and 12–6 PM at weekends — useful if someone can swing by on their way in, or you can collect the afternoon before if your event is a weekend one.
- Move the celebration to the afternoon. A lot of offices push the cake moment to 3:30 or 4 PM anyway, which lines up well with the delivery window.
- Order the day before if your event is fixed at lunchtime — most cakes only need 1 day notice, and this removes the timing question entirely.
What Works Well for Office Celebrations
Same-day designs are single-tier and ready to personalise, which suits most workplace moments well — birthdays, farewells, promotions, work anniversaries, or just an excuse for the team to gather round. If you want something with more branding or a bigger, tiered showpiece for a bigger company event, that moves into standard ordering (1–5 days' notice), which opens up the full range.
Ordering for an Office: A Few Practical Tips
- Get the address exactly right — include floor, suite number, or reception instructions if delivery drivers might need them.
- Decide on the message in advance — a first name, or "Happy Birthday [Name]" style message, works best and won't slow down personalisation.
- Think about headcount — same-day designs come in set sizes, so check servings against your team size before ordering.
- Have a backup plan for the cut-off — if there's any chance the celebration might move, order early in the window rather than right at the cut-off.
Office Cake FAQs
Can you deliver directly to our office address?
Yes — enter your workplace address at checkout like any delivery address, and delivery cost will be calculated automatically.
What if our celebration is at lunchtime?
Weekday delivery lands 3–7 PM, so a same-day order may miss a lunchtime moment. Ordering the day before, or having someone collect, both solve this — see the timing section above.
Is there a minimum order for office cakes?
No minimum order, and no same-day surcharge either.
Can you add our colleague's name to the cake?
Yes, free of charge, with no delay to delivery — just add it in the personalisation field when ordering.
