 Planning to send cake to your loved ones in Nigeria? Learn everything you need to know about cake delivery in Nigeria in 2025, from Baqers.

With the rise of online gifting and more Nigerians relocating abroad, sending cakes back home (or even within Nigeria) has become more than just a sweet gesture. It’s now a convenient, meaningful way to stay connected to loved ones.

As more Nigerians relocate abroad, there’s been a noticeable shift: people are looking for ways to stay emotionally present even when they can’t be physically around. 

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, baby showers—these moments still matter, and sending a freshly baked cake is one of the easiest, sweetest ways to say “I’m thinking of you.”

But if you're thinking about surprising someone in Nigeria with a cake, there are a few important things you need to know in 2025 about delivery options, personalization, reliability, and how to make sure your gift lands right on time (and in one piece).

We'll break it all down.

Why More Nigerians Abroad Are Sending Cakes Home

Relocating doesn’t mean disconnecting.

In fact, for many people in the diaspora, staying emotionally close to family back home is more important than ever. And because time zones, distance, and busy schedules can make that tricky, thoughtful gestures like cake deliveries are becoming more popular.

You may have seen friends surprise their parents with cakes in Lagos, or send a customized birthday cake to their sibling in Abuja. That’s because gifting a cake isn’t just about the cake. It’s about sharing love, delivering smiles, and making someone feel seen and celebrated, no matter where you are.

How Cake Delivery in Nigeria Works (and What’s Changed in 2025)

Thanks to tech improvements and smarter logistics, cake delivery in Nigeria is faster and more reliable than ever before.

You can now order a cake online in minutes, customize it, select your delivery date, and track the order all from your phone. 

Plus, delivery isn’t limited to just big cities anymore. With Baqers, for example, delivery is available in 26 cities across Nigeria. Also, people are becoming more intentional about their cake orders, looking for variety, themed designs, and even custom cake messages that reflect the occasion.

However, there are a few things you need to note before you even pick a cake to send. Let's talk about them.

 

What to Look Out for When Choosing a Cake Delivery Service in Nigeria

Ordering a cake for someone you love especially from abroad isn’t something you leave to chance. You want it to be perfect. Not just the cake itself, but the entire experience. 

Here’s what you should pay attention to when choosing a cake delivery service in Nigeria:

1. Quality and Freshness

Always ask: Are the cakes freshly baked or pre-made? A good cake delivery service should prioritize freshness, using quality ingredients and baking each order with care. This is especially important when your recipient deserves the very best.

2. Delivery Coverage and Speed

Nigeria is big, and not every service delivers to every city. You want a service that covers major cities and beyond. Even better if they have a track record of timely deliveries. A late delivery can ruin a surprise or even miss the celebration altogether.

3. Variety and Customization

From chocolate overloads to red velvet classics and fruit-topped cakes, variety matters. But beyond that, can you customize your order? Can you add a name, a sweet message, or even choose the design? The little personal touches make a big difference.

4. Customer Support and Ease of Ordering

What happens if you have questions? Or if you want to make a last-minute change? The best cake delivery services have responsive customer support and user-friendly websites that make ordering a breeze, even if you’re ordering from across the globe.

5. Payment Flexibility

For Nigerians in the diaspora, international-friendly payment options are a huge plus. No one wants to struggle to complete an order because of payment restrictions.

6. Transparent Pricing and Reviews

Hidden fees? That’s a no. Look for clear pricing, and check reviews from past customers. A service with consistent 5-star reviews is usually doing something right.

7. Satisfaction Guarantee

Reputable services back their product. A 100% satisfaction guaranteed policy means they’re confident in the quality of what they deliver and that gives you peace of mind.

These factors might seem basic, but they make all the difference. For instance, popular cake flavours might vary by location, and only a good brand understands those local preferences.

Cake Delivery Options: What Else Is Out There?

If you’ve ever tried to send a cake through random Instagram vendors or asked a friend in Nigeria to "help you buy cake," you already know how stressful that can be. There’s uncertainty, late replies, inconsistent quality, and the risk of last-minute disappointment.

Some people also try large general e-commerce sites but cakes require speed, care, and customization. Not all platforms can handle that.

So, why go through all that trouble when you can order from a platform like Baqers that solves these problems?
