We are based in Machakos, and Kitengela is a straightforward drive away, so we bake on your date and bring the cake to your home, garden party or venue. Because every cake is made to order, you choose the flavour, size, colours and message rather than picking from a display fridge.

- Send it to us on WhatsApp (0711 536 504), with a photo of any design you like.
- We confirm the design and quote delivery to your exact location in Kitengela.
- Pay the 50% deposit by M-Pesa to 0711 536 504 to lock in the date.

Delivery to Kitengela and nearby areas
Delivery outside Machakos town is priced by distance, so we quote it when you send your location pin. We deliver around Kitengela town and estates, and also to Isinya, Athi River, Syokimau and Nairobi. Give us the name and phone number of whoever will receive the cake, and plan for it to arrive an hour or two before the cake-cutting, not at the last minute.
Keeping your cake perfect at a Kitengela party
- Kitengela afternoons can be hot and dusty, so keep the cake indoors or in shade until it is time to cut.
- Store buttercream cakes in a cool place; refrigerate if the party is several hours away, then bring out 30 minutes before serving.
- Carry the box flat, holding the base, never by the sides.
How much notice do we need?
At least 3 days for a standard birthday cake and 7 days for custom designs with figures or detailed themes. Under 48 hours may be possible with a 10 to 15% rush charge. Weekends fill up first, so message early for Saturday parties.
