What cake do I get for a 60th Birthday?
A milestone birthday deserves a cake that feels just as significant. The Guinness cake strikes the perfect balance between elegance and indulgence, offering layers of buttercream and a striking drip design that’s ideal for adult celebrations.

What is a Guinness drip cake?
It’s a tall, layered dessert designed to impress, featuring a smooth buttercream coating on the Guinness cake, a glossy chocolate ganache drip cascading down the sides, and Guinness-inspired decorations on top. A drip cake is not only delicious but also visually striking — perfect for being the centrepiece of a party.
How to bake a Guinness drip cake at home?
Making one yourself takes effort, but it can be done with these steps:
- Bake sponge layers, either chocolate-based or with Guinness for richness.
- Stack and fill them with smooth buttercream.
- Prepare a chocolate ganache and drip it carefully along the edges.
- Add chocolate shards and Guinness-themed toppers.
While achievable, creating the polished finish of a professional drip cake takes skill — ordering one ensures you get a flawless and party-ready cake without the stress.

How far in advance should I order a Guinness drip cake?
You’ll need to place your order at least 48 hours in advance. This ensures the cake is freshly baked and decorated to perfection, ready for pickup or delivery in time for your event.
What’s the best way to store a Guinness cake before serving?
The Guinness cake should be kept in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight. If you need to refrigerate it overnight, cover it lightly and bring it back to room temperature before serving. This keeps the buttercream soft and the ganache looking glossy.

Is a Guinness drip cake suitable for my husband’s 80th birthday?
