It does not ship on its own. Add it to any of our birthday flower bouquets, just because sends, anniversary bouquets, Mother's Day flowers, or any of our gift hampers, and we will tuck it into the delivery. Browse the wider same-day flower delivery range to choose what to pair it with. When To Add a Cupcake It is the small extra that turns a flower send into a moment. Add it to a birthday gift for her so she has something to bite into while she puts the flowers in water. Add it to an apology send so the gesture lands sweeter. Add it to a "just because" Tuesday delivery to a girlfriend or partner. Or add it to a Mother's Day or anniversary bouquet to lift it into a proper celebration. Many customers add a cupcake when they cannot physically be there for the moment. The Story Behind Our Cupcakes We started baking our own cupcakes after years of watching customers ask the same question at checkout: "Can you add something sweet to the bouquet?" We tried sourcing from outside bakeries and never loved the result. So we built our own small bakery inside the studio and trained our team to bake them fresh every morning. The real rose finish was our florist team's idea, and the edible glitter was the team's wedge to make it photographable. We have been doing it this way ever since. The cupcake is the wink. The flowers are the gesture. Together they land differently.

It must be added to a flower bouquet, gift hamper, vase arrangement or other gift order in your cart. We do not deliver cupcakes as standalone items. If you want a cupcake-led gift, the Cupcake Bloom Box is our standalone cupcake-with-flowers product. Where do you deliver this cupcake?

As a freshly baked perishable item, the cupcake does NOT ship by nationwide courier and is NOT available for Johannesburg delivery. If you are sending a gift to Johannesburg or another province, the cupcake add-on is not available on those orders. Is the rose on top safe to eat? The rose petal is decorative only. It is a fresh rose from our florist team, placed on the buttercream for the photogenic finish. Remove the rose petal before eating the cupcake. The edible glitter is food-safe and can be eaten. What is the cupcake flavour? Classic vanilla. A moist vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream icing. For the chocolate version, see the Single Chocolate Cupcake. Does the cupcake contain alcohol or animal products? No alcohol. It contains butter, eggs and dairy (standard vanilla cupcake ingredients), so it is vegetarian but not vegan. For specific dietary restrictions or allergies, email hello@flowerguy.co.za and we will tell you what we can and cannot accommodate that day. What allergies should I be aware of? The cupcake contains wheat, eggs, dairy and traces of nuts (our bakery is not a nut-free facility). For severe nut, gluten or dairy allergies, do not add this cupcake to your order. Email hello@flowerguy.co.za if you want to discuss alternatives. How long does the cupcake stay fresh? Best enjoyed the day it arrives. Store sealed at cool room temperature for up to 24 hours. If you cannot eat it that day, refrigerate it and bring it back to room temperature before serving. The texture is softest in the first 24 hours. Can I order this for a future date? Yes. Select your preferred delivery date at checkout on the main gift you are adding it to. The cupcake is freshly baked the morning of dispatch, so it always arrives fresh on the chosen day. For birthdays, Mother's Day and Valentine's, book at least a day or two ahead. Can I add a personalised note? Yes. The note goes with the main flower or hamper gift. Mention the cupcake in the note if you want to call it out ("the cupcake is for you to enjoy with your tea") or just let it be a surprise inside the delivery. Can I upgrade to more cupcakes? Yes. The Three Vanilla Cupcakes option gives her enough to share with a friend or have one for the next morning. Or browse the wider cupcake range for chocolate and mixed-flavour options.
