Birthday, wedding, new baby, success: short message ideas for a cake, and the rules that keep them readable.
The message is often the last step of the cake, and the one where people get stuck. Here are ideas by occasion and a few rules to keep it beautiful and readable.
The rules of a good message
- Short: a few words read better than a whole sentence.
- Checked: proofread the first name, it is the most common mistake.
- In the family’s language: French, Arabic, Darija or English, choose the one the person likes to read.
Birthday
- “Happy birthday Yasmine”
- “30 and fabulous”
- “Happy birthday Dad”
Wedding and engagement
- “Sara & Mehdi”
- “Forever”
- “Congratulations to the newlyweds”
New baby and success
- “Welcome Adam”
- “Well done on your exams”
- “So proud of you”
When you order
The message is typed at the last step of the cake builder and appears in the cart summary: the right moment to read it one last time. For the rest of the cake, see how to choose a custom birthday cake.
