Life doesn’t always let us be there for the big moments – we get it. That pang when you’re oceans away on your best friend’s 30th? Yeah, we’ve felt that too.
Here’s the beautiful thing about cakes – they’re edible hugs. A perfectly timed delivery can say “I’m with you” louder than any party hat.
Whether it’s for your partner, parent, best friend, or child living in Melbourne, sending a cake doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here’s a simple guide to help you order a birthday cake in Melbourne from anywhere in the world — and make someone’s day a whole lot sweeter.
Step 1: Choose a Reliable Local Cake Shop in Melbourne
The first and most important step is picking a cake shop you can trust.
At Sam Baking High, our ovens have been warming hearts since 2012. We don’t just bake cakes – we craft memory-makers.
From superhero smash cakes to ruby anniversary showstoppers, we’ve got the perfect edible emblem for every chapter of life.
Here’s why many customers choose us — especially when ordering from outside Melbourne:
- Cakes for all styles and ages – playful, elegant, minimalist, colourful… we have something for everyone.

- Delivery across 100+ Melbourne suburbs, including weekends.
- Cakes stay fresh – we use cooler bags with ice packs for every delivery.

Step 2: How to Place an Order (Even If You're Not in Australia)
Here’s the magic – you could be sipping coffee in Toronto or hiking in Kyoto while we handle the Melbourne magic. Our online system turns “I wish I could be there” into “I’m virtually there” in three clicks.
Here’s how it works:
- Go to our website: sambakinghigh.com.au
- Browse our birthday cake collection and choose a style that fits the occasion
- Add it to your cart and select your Preferred Delivery Date
- Fill in the delivery details — name, address, and phone number of the person receiving the cake
- Checkout and pay — done!
Once the cake is on the way, your recipient will receive a live tracking SMS so they know it’s coming.
It’s that simple.
