Ask what the child actually likes
Use familiar preferences as the starting point rather than choosing only from what looks good in photos. If the cake is a surprise, a parent or close family member can usually provide useful guidance.
- Child's favourite flavours
- Age group
- Party size
Think about the whole party
A children's party may also include parents, siblings and other adults. Tell the bakery roughly who will be served so flavour and size decisions are made with the actual group in mind.
- Children and adults
- Other desserts
- Serving time
Raise dietary concerns before confirming
Allergy and dietary questions need explicit confirmation. Do not rely on a generic flavour description to decide whether a cake is suitable for a particular child.
