Birthday Cakes for Men
Birthday cakes that do not arrive in pastel: dark ganache, a sharp edge, one subject said plainly. From £100 for a 6-inch feeding 8–12, £130 for an 8-inch feeding 14–18, made in Bracknell and delivered across Berkshire.
If it is for a desk rather than a table, the 4" bento cake at £70 serves about 4 and takes a line of writing on top.

Black Velvet CakeA luxurious black cake covered in velvet frosting, adorned with an abundance of fresh berries. 
Honey CakeA delicious layered honey cake with homemade custard, topped with fresh berries.

What does the gallery actually show?
Every photograph in the gallery was tagged in October for colour, finish and occasion, so this is countable rather than a matter of taste. Of the 70 photographs usable on a page like this one — the ones without a stranger’s name piped across them — 32 use black, navy, green, grey or brown, and 7 are finished in ganache rather than buttercream. That is the look this page is about, and the photographs above were picked by that tag rather than chosen by hand.
The four decisions
Finish: ganache for a dark, sharp cake; buttercream for a softer one.
Colours: two, not six. A third colour is where a cake starts looking busy.
Subject: one thing he is known for, stated rather than illustrated.
Wording: short. A name and a number beats a sentence.
How much cake does a room of men eat?
More than the portion chart suggests, and the chart is already honest: an 8-inch cuts 14–18 party slices and a 10-inch 22–28. The practical rule is to count heads, round up to the next size, and accept that a chocolate cake disappears faster than a fruit one. For a pub function or a club night the two-tier at £270 cuts 22–30 and saves a second order.
Sizes and portions in full are in the sizes guide.
What if he says he does not want a fuss?
Then the 4" bento cake is the whole answer: £70, about 4 small slices, a line piped on top, ready in 3–5 days. It is a cake that fits on a desk and does not require a gathering to justify it, which is precisely the point for somebody who did not want a party. The joke written on top is free.
