Birthday cake in Brussels: cupcakes or cake, which to choose?

10 July 2026 by

A birthday to prepare and one question in mind: a beautiful cake to blow out or a tower of cupcakes to share? At Lilicup, we get asked this every week. The right answer depends on your party, your guests, and the effect you want to create. We guide you and explain how to order your custom birthday cake in Brussels, in just a few clicks.

Cupcakes or birthday cake: the match

Both are homemade every day in our workshop, with the same delicious flavours. The difference mainly lies in the occasion and the way of sharing.


Cupcakes

Birthday cake

The effect

Friendly, colourful, “everyone has their own”

The “wow” moment of the candle

Ideal for

Children's parties, office, buffets, gender reveal

Family meals, dinner, big birthday

Sharing

No knife, zero crumbs to manage

One cut, a strong moment at the table

Personalisation

Toppers, colours, logos

Message, decor and flavour tailored to you

Number of guests

Perfect from 6-8 sweet tooths

From 8, 12 or 16 people

In summary : do you want a memorable moment with a candle and group photo? Opt for the cake. Do you prefer a relaxed sharing, without plates or knife? The cupcakes are unbeatable. And for the indecisive… why not both: a cake to blow out and a few mini cupcakes for the buffet.

Our birthday cakes, homemade

Our birthday cakes, in the tradition of American cakes, come in three sizes: 8, 12 or 16 people, to fit your table perfectly.

In terms of flavours, you will find our signature classics:
  • Red velvet with cream cheese
  • Spiced carrot cake
  • Chocolate dulce de leche
  • Gourmet vanilla

Each cake is prepared on the same day in our workshop, never in advance or frozen.

A truly personalised cake

A birthday is unique, your cake is too. Message on the decoration, colours to match your theme, name, age, favourite universe of the children: we create the piece that resembles you. For custom requests (specific design, large event, company), just describe your idea to us and we will prepare a quote.
