10 Best Father's Day Cakes for Dads (and anyone who loves cake)

Isn’t cake the best possible way to celebrate someone? We think so. 

Maybe Dad is a sports enthusiast who showed you how to throw your first hoop, maybe he’s a tech savvy who’s always up to date with the latest gimmicks & gadgets, or maybe he like being silly on lazy Sundays and loves telling Dad jokes when you’re feeling blue. Nevertheless, here’s to all Dads who have been there since day one. Here’s to Dads who never failed to show up. Here’s to Dads worth celebrating - with a great, utterly delicious, freshly baked cake. 

I’m sure not ALL Dads love cake, but there’s a simple solution to that. A celebratory cake can come in the form of a brownie, a giant cookie, a welshcakes bundle, or even a cottage pork pie (yes, indeed!). Slice it, serve it, enjoy it!

Here’s our list with the top 10 Father’s Day cakes that can be personalised, just for Dad on his special day.

1. A gooey, chocolate personalised brownie slab with chocolate chip pieces. The slab is approximately 20cm long, which means it can  also be shared - or not! Personalise it with your message, enjoy it freshly delivered or put it in the microwave for 40 seconds end enjoy it piping hot and gooey. Arrives in a reusable tin which can be used again once you’re done with the brownie. 

2. Personalised cupcakes must be the sweetest, most thoughtful cake gift ever. Choose from Madagascan vanilla and buttercream cupcakes that can be personalised with printed iced toppers and your own message and font, or go for personalised photo cupcakes and decorate the cupcakes with a photo or drawing. 6 delicious cupcakes means 6 cute photos to be printed on each one!  Send it through the post and let it land straight on Dad’s doorstep.
