Celebrating your child's birthday with their class at SBA Academy Syokimau in Syokimau? Norie's Cake Atelier, a boutique bakery in Machakos, makes school birthday packages that pair a small cake for the birthday song with a cupcake for every classmate, from KES 3,700. This page explains how to choose a package for a class at a school like SBA Academy Syokimau, what to check first, and how delivery to Syokimau works.
Please note: Norie's Cake Atelier is an independent bakery and is not affiliated with, approved by or a supplier to SBA Academy Syokimau. Parents should always check the school's own rules on food brought in for birthdays before ordering.
About SBA Academy Syokimau
According to its own website, SBA Academy Syokimau is a campus behind Gateway Mall on Airport Road, Syokimau, with Montessori, pre-school and primary sections. We mention this only so parents can choose the right package for their child's age group; we have no information on the school's class sizes or birthday policy.
How class birthdays usually work
In many Kenyan schools and kindergartens, a class birthday is a short celebration: the class sings, the birthday child blows out a candle (if allowed) and each pupil gets a treat. Teachers often prefer individual portions such as cupcakes, because cutting and plating a cake in a classroom is hard. Some schools set a day of the week for birthdays, limit sugary food or ask for no candles. These rules vary by school, so ask your child's teacher at SBA Academy Syokimau directly.
Choosing for younger children
Because SBA Academy Syokimau's website lists early-years classes, many parents there will be ordering for toddlers or pre-primary children. For the youngest groups, our Daycare Mini (1kg Classic cake + 12 mini cupcakes, KES 3,700) gives small, manageable portions. Mini cupcakes are KES 100 each if you need extra. Skip hard decorations and toppers that small children could put in their mouths.
How many to order per class size
Ask the teacher for the exact number of pupils and staff, then add two or three spares. As a guide:
- Up to about 12 little ones: Daycare Mini.
- About 20 pupils: Class Starter (24 cupcakes).
- About 30 to 40 pupils: Full Class (36 cupcakes); add a box of 6 or 12 classic cupcakes if the class is bigger.
- Class plus staff: Class + Teachers.

Nut-free and allergy notes
Many schools, including kindergartens, are careful about nuts and other allergens. Our cakes and pastries contain gluten, eggs and dairy and may contain nuts; we cannot guarantee nut-free or allergen-free products. If SBA Academy Syokimau or your child's class has a nut-free rule or a pupil with an allergy, tell us before you order and check with the teacher whether our products are suitable. Choosing plain classic flavours such as vanilla or lemon avoids nut-based toppings, but it does not remove the risk of trace nuts.
Delivery to Syokimau
Syokimau sits on our side of Nairobi, along Mombasa Road and Airport Road, so delivery is shorter than to the city. It is priced by distance and quoted on WhatsApp before you pay. Morning traffic on Mombasa Road is heavy, so we usually deliver to your home the evening before or early morning, and you take the package to school yourself. See also cakes in Syokimau.
Keeping the cake in good shape
- Carry the box flat on the floor of the car or on a level seat, never on a lap or by the sides.
- Keep it out of direct sun; buttercream softens quickly on a hot dashboard.
- If the event is many hours away, refrigerate the cake and take it out about 30 minutes before serving.
- Name one person to receive the cake and check it on arrival.
Timing
Order at least 3 days ahead. End-of-term weeks and early-birthday celebrations before the holidays get busy, so book early. A 50% M-Pesa deposit to 0711 536 504 confirms the date; the balance is due before pickup or delivery.
