How much to order
First question: are your guests sitting around one table, or standing and mingling? At a sit-down dinner a whole cake is nicer: you cut it in front of everyone and each guest gets a proper slice. At bigger gatherings and receptions, minis are easier: guests pick one up and the box goes straight on the table.
| Guests | Sit-down | Standing (2 minis each) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 to 8 | 6-inch cake | 16-piece box |
| 12 to 14 | 9-inch cake | 25 + 9-piece boxes |
| About 20 | Two 9-inch cakes | 25 + 16-piece boxes |
| 30 | Two 9-inch + one 6-inch | Two 25 + one 16 |
| 50 | A cake for the table + minis | Four 25-piece boxes |

Dinner plus dessert table
Many Jeddah gatherings have both: dinner around a table, then coffee that runs late into the evening. Order a cake for the people at the table and a mini box or two for later. If there are other sweets on offer, count one or two minis per guest rather than three.
- Girls' night: a 6-inch cake or a 16-piece mini box; two 6-inch cakes with different toppings if tastes differ.
- Office treat: a 16-piece box for a small team, 25 for a whole department.

When to order
Everyday gatherings can be ordered for the same day when slots are free; checkout shows the earliest time. For a fixed date, order a day ahead to get the time you want, especially at weekends. For large orders (50+ minis), order 3 days ahead, and if it's more than the site accepts, message us on WhatsApp and we'll arrange it.
Choose a delivery time an hour or two before guests arrive. Delivery is SAR 12 to SAR 18 depending on distance, free over SAR 200: see our Jeddah delivery page.
Serving
- Take the cake out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving.
- At long gatherings bring out one box at a time; don't leave dessert out for more than two hours.
- Allergens: milk, wheat (gluten), eggs and soy; the pistachio topping and mixed boxes contain nuts.
