Birthday Cake Lahore: Designs, Prices and Delivery in One Guide
Short answer
A birthday cake in Lahore costs roughly Rs 1,800–2,800 for 1 lb and Rs 3,500–4,800 for 2 lb in 2026, with custom fondant from Rs 5,500. One pound serves 6–10 people.

Birthday cakes are the most ordered cake in Lahore and the most predictable to get wrong. This guide covers the three decisions that matter — size, design and slot — and the two mistakes that cause most complaints.
Size by guest count
| Guests | Weight | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| 6–10 | 1 lb | Rs 1,800 – 2,800 |
| 12–20 | 2 lb | Rs 3,500 – 4,800 |
| 25–35 | 3 lb | Rs 5,400 – 7,500 |
| 40–60 | 4–5 lb | Rs 8,000 – 13,000 |
Children eat roughly half an adult portion, so kids' parties stretch further.
Designs by age
- Toddlers and young children — cartoon characters, bright buttercream, pinata cakes
- Older children — theme cakes built around a game, sport or film
- Teenagers — bento cakes, number cakes, minimal designs with a joke
- Adults — photo cakes, premium flavours, elegant single tiers
- Milestone birthdays — number cakes, two tiers, gold detailing
- Elders — traditional flavours, restrained decoration, larger family sizes
Delivery slots
Evening between 6 PM and 9 PM is the most common. Midnight, from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM, is the most requested and the first to book out — decide early, because adding it on the day is usually impossible. Give a phone number that will actually be answered at that hour.
The two mistakes
First, the name. Type it yourself and get it confirmed in writing — verbal names are how misspellings happen. Second, the photo, if you are ordering a photo cake: send the original file rather than a forwarded copy, because messaging apps compress images until they print blurry.
