40th birthday cake ideas
The Wine Barrel Cake and Cheese Cake (made to look like a camembert) always get people talking at a 40th. For sports fans, there's the Football Cake, with their club's badge if you like, and the Cricket Cake. Car lovers will like the Car Cake.
If you'd rather keep it classic, the Silver Cake and Gold Leaf Cake look smart, or go for a favourite flavour like Red Velvet or White Chocolate and Passion Fruit. For the big number, there's our Number Cake.
Shop by age: 1st, 18th, 21st, 30th, 50th, 60th and over. Or have a look at all our adult birthday cakes.
Questions
Can you add their name or age?
Yes, you can add a piped message to most cakes for £5, such as their name or "Happy 40th". Just click Add a piped message on the cake page.
Can you make a cake in the shape of their age?
Yes. Our Number Cake comes as a single, double or triple digit, in vanilla or chocolate, decorated with buttercream, fruit and macarons. Single digits start at £95.
What size cake do we need?
As a rough guide, a 6" cake serves 12 to 18, an 8" serves 20 to 30, a 10" serves 36 to 42 and a 12" serves 50 to 60. Sizes vary by design, and each cake page shows the sizes it comes in.

Most cakes need 2 days' notice, and you choose your date at checkout. You're welcome to order weeks ahead.
