Cake delivery
Cake delivery to Harare CBD
Yes, we deliver cakes into Harare CBD offices, hotels and venues from our studio at Madokero Estates, every working day. The CBD sits inside our Central and North delivery zone, so the standard zone fee applies and is confirmed in your written quote. Signature cakes need two business days' notice. Order on WhatsApp at +263 78 432 0632 and tell us the building name, the floor, and the reception contact when you book.
TL;DR
- We bake in Madokero and deliver into the CBD daily. Standard Central and North zone fee, confirmed in your quote.
- Signature anytime cakes need two business days. Branded corporate cakes need a week. Wedding cakes need three to nine months with a consultation and tasting.
- Office deliveries land inside an agreed 30-minute window, so the cake is on the reception desk before the cut.
- WhatsApp +263 78 432 0632. Written quote returned inside one business day.
Cake delivery to Harare CBD at a glance
We bake at 14305 Madokero Estates. There is no CBD shopfront, but the route in via Westgate, Avondale and Samora Machel Avenue is part of the daily delivery list. Orders happen on WhatsApp, not through a website checkout. One conversation books the cake, the delivery slot, and the payment. If the cake is heading to a tower block on Jason Moyo or a hotel function room off Africa Unity Square, that detail goes into the same message.
Delivery fee and timing for the CBD
The CBD sits inside the Central and North zone on our Harare delivery zones map, alongside Avondale, Mt Pleasant, Borrowdale, Highlands and Greendale. The standard zone delivery fee applies, quoted in writing before you pay. We do not publish a single Harare-wide flat figure because the zones price differently.
Most CBD office deliveries land between 10am and 4pm, inside an agreed 30-minute window confirmed the night before. Lunchtime traffic on Samora Machel and the one-way streets around Africa Unity Square can stretch a run, so we plan around it rather than fight it. If the cut is at 11am sharp, we aim for a 10:15 to 10:45 drop. If the cake just needs to be on the reception desk by close of business, a wider afternoon window is cheaper and easier on the driver.
Two things slow CBD deliveries down more than traffic. Security check-ins at office buildings, and reception desks that will not call the recipient down to sign. Tell us the building name, the floor, the company, and a mobile number for the person collecting, and we will get past both.
What people in the CBD order from us
The CBD mix is not the same as a Borrowdale Saturday list. The common requests:
- Office birthday cakes for a colleague, usually a 6-inch or 8-inch signature flavour. Red Velvet, Black Forest and Chocolate Orange are the regulars.
- Boxed cupcakes by the dozen for launches, AGMs and staff briefings. Minimum order is 24.
- Branded corporate cakes with edible-print logos for product launches, anniversaries and award ceremonies.
- Work-anniversary, retirement and send-off cakes.
- The occasional Roora Day cakes and wedding cakes delivered to a CBD hotel function room or registry-office reception.
We list this so you can pick a category and a flavour quickly. The full range lives on the menu pages.
Lead times for CBD orders
The lead time depends on what you order, not where it goes. The CBD does not change the kitchen calendar.
| Cake type | Minimum notice |
|---|---|
| Signature anytime cakes | 2 business days |
| Sugar-free cakes | 3 days |
| Branded corporate cakes with edible-print logos | 1 week |
| Structural or sculpted character cakes | 2 weeks |
| Wedding cakes and tiered Roora Day cakes | 3 to 9 months recommended |
If you are sending a logo for branded cupcakes or a corporate cake, send the artwork the day you enquire. SVG or PNG with the HEX colour, not a screenshot off the company website. The art is the bottleneck more often than the bake.
How to order a cake delivered to a CBD office
The flow is the same as how ordering works anywhere else in Harare. The CBD just adds a few extra lines to the address.
- WhatsApp +263 78 432 0632 with the flavour, the size and the date.
- Give us the full delivery address: building name, floor, company name, and the reception phone if it is published.
- Give us a contact mobile for the person collecting, and a backup if they might be in a meeting.
- We send a written quote inside one business day with the zone fee and the lead time.
- Pay in full for an anytime cake, or 50% deposit for a wedding or Roora cake. USD cash, EcoCash, ZiG or bank transfer.
- Cake arrives in the agreed window. Reception signs, the recipient gets called down, the candles come out.
Building, floor, reception name. That is the bit that matters. A driver in a hurry on Nelson Mandela Avenue cannot wander up a tower block looking for "Tendai in marketing", and one extra line in the WhatsApp message prevents twenty minutes of phone calls.
Questions people ask
Do you deliver cakes to offices in the Harare CBD on the same day?
Signature anytime cakes need two business days, so same-day is the exception, not the rule. If you message us and the kitchen has unusual capacity, we will tell you straight. Otherwise we bake to schedule and deliver inside the agreed window.
How much does cake delivery to the Harare CBD cost?
The CBD sits in the Central and North zone, which carries our standard zone fee. The exact figure is confirmed in your written quote so you see it before you pay. We do not add hidden delivery surcharges for CBD buildings.
Can you deliver a branded corporate cake or cupcakes to a CBD office?
Yes. Edible-print logo cakes and cupcakes need a week's notice, and we need the artwork as an SVG or PNG with the brand HEX colours. Minimum cupcake order is 24. Quotes and invoices are issued in USD with 14 days net payment terms, and we can add a PO number when one is issued.
Do you deliver to CBD hotels and venues for functions?
Yes, we deliver to CBD hotels and venues for weddings, Roora Day functions, corporate dinners and product launches. Tell us the venue, the function room name and the contact on site, and we coordinate the drop with the events team.
What information do you need to deliver to a CBD office building?
Building name, floor, company name, the recipient's mobile, and a backup mobile if the recipient might be in a meeting. If the building has a strict security desk, the recipient's full name as it appears on the visitor list helps.
Can someone collect the cake from the Madokero studio instead?
Yes. Studio pickup at 14305 Madokero Estates is available by appointment. Book a pickup window when you order so the cake is boxed and waiting. See the studio address and hours.
