CakeMail by MEIMA Bakes
Real cake. Stylishly delivered through the letterbox.
CakeMail is MEIMA's signature concept:
a freshly baked piece of cake, carefully packaged and delivered directly through the letterbox.
From our kitchen in Bodegraven, we handcraft every CakeMail — for moments you can't always personally deliver, but still want to make felt.
A small gesture, with great meaning.
All you need to know about CakeMail
What is CakeMail?
Instead of a large cake that can only be delivered if someone is home, CakeMail is specially designed to be sent easily and stylishly. The recipient receives a real, freshly baked cake slice in a carefully curated package, along with your personal message.
This turns a simple delivery into something that feels truly special.
Every CakeMail is designed to:
- feel personal
- arrive beautifully
- be easy to send
- be delivered fresh and safely
What's in a CakeMail?
Each CakeMail contains:
- a freshly baked cake slice
- a personal message from you
- stylish packaging
- a delivery that fits through the letterbox
Everything is prepared by hand and carefully packaged, so that the whole experience is not only delicious but also beautiful to receive.
Why choose CakeMail?
Having a regular cake delivered can sometimes be impractical.
Often, it involves large boxes, fragile packaging, and delivery times when someone needs to be home. This makes it less easy to spontaneously or remotely send something sweet.
CakeMail is specifically designed to make this simpler.
With CakeMail, you choose:
- a size that fits through the letterbox
- no large or cumbersome packaging
- no missed deliveries because no one is home
- a gift that feels personal and accessible
- an original way to send cake
CakeMail is smaller than a traditional cake, but precisely because of this, it's perfect for a personal moment.
How does it work?
We deliberately keep the ordering process simple.
1. Choose your flavor
Choose the CakeMail flavor that suits your occasion. (View all CakeMail flavors and choose your favorite)
2. Add your personal message
Your message will be sent with the CakeMail, making the gift feel even more personal.
3. Choose your desired delivery date
When ordering, you can specify when you want the CakeMail to be delivered.
4. We bake, pack, and ship
Each order is freshly made in Bodegraven, carefully packed, and shipped on time via PostNL.
This keeps the process simple for you, while making it feel special for the recipient.
For whom & what occasions?
CakeMail is perfect for those personal moments – big or small.
For those times when you want to surprise someone, congratulate them, or simply let them know you're thinking of them, without being able to be there yourself.
For example:
- Birthdays
An unexpected surprise through the letterbox, with your personal message included - Surprising someone from afar
For friends or family you don't see often, but who feel close - Thank yous
A small but sincere gesture to let someone know you appreciate them - Small celebrations
Graduation, new job, or just something to acknowledge - Last-minute gifts
When you still want to send something personal, without any hassle - Just because
Sometimes you don't need a reason to make someone smile
CakeMail is for friends, family, colleagues — or anyone who deserves a little moment of attention.
Because it fits through the letterbox and is easy to send, giving becomes as easy as receiving.
That's what CakeMail feels like to receive
CakeMail is designed as a small moment of care.
Not a large or exaggerated gift, but something subtle, stylish, and personal.
A surprise that arrives unexpectedly through the letterbox — and precisely because of that, it leaves a lasting impression.
When someone opens the box, they find not only a piece of cake,
but also your personal message.
That makes it different from a standard gift.
Direct, sincere, and chosen with care.
Delivery & ordering
When to order?
Order at least 2 days in advance.
Example:
Do you want delivery on Thursday?
Then order by Tuesday 9:00 PM at the latest.
How is CakeMail delivered?
CakeMail is sent via PostNL as a letterbox delivery.
This means:
- the CakeMail fits through the letterbox
- the recipient usually doesn't need to be home
- delivery is simple and without an appointment at the door
When will it be delivered?
In most cases, CakeMail will be delivered on the next business day after it has been dispatched.
Important to know
- there is no delivery on Sundays
- no delivery on public holidays
- do you want delivery on Monday? Then order by Friday 9:00 PM at the latest
- orders placed after this time are usually delivered on Tuesday
Although PostNL usually delivers on time, delivery by an external delivery service always depends on their schedule.
Therefore, we recommend ordering in good time for important occasions.
Can the recipient not be home?
Yes, that's precisely one of the great advantages of CakeMail.
Because the packaging is designed to fit through the letterbox, the recipient usually does not need to be home to receive the order.
This makes CakeMail particularly suitable for surprises from a distance.
Freshness & quality
Every CakeMail is freshly prepared in MEIMA's kitchen in Bodegraven.
Attention is paid not only to taste, but also to how the cake arrives.
That's why every CakeMail is carefully assembled and packaged.
- freshly baked to order
- individually and hygienically packaged
- sturdily protected during transport
- carefully sealed to maintain freshness
The cake has been specially developed to stay good during shipping.
When stored correctly, CakeMail remains fresh and delicious for up to 5 days after receipt.
This way, cake can be sent with confidence —
knowing that it not only arrives beautifully, but also stays truly delicious.
How does CakeMail stay fresh during shipping?
Because CakeMail is specially developed for delivery, the packaging is also adapted accordingly.
The cake is:
- freshly baked
- carefully packaged
- protectively packed for transport
- assembled in such a way that the quality is well preserved during shipping
This means that the recipient not only receives something beautiful, but can also truly enjoy a cake that is still tasty and fresh.
Freshly baked. Carefully packaged. Safely delivered.
How do you store your CakeMail?
To keep your CakeMail as delicious as possible:
- store the cake in the refrigerator
- take the cake out of the refrigerator 15–30 minutes before eating
- allow it to come to room temperature
This will soften the texture and bring out the flavors better.
When stored properly, your CakeMail will remain fresh for up to 5 days after receipt.
Tip
The cake tastes best when it's not too cold. So, give it some time before serving.

CakeMail vs. Traditional Cake
Sometimes you want to celebrate big.
Sometimes you just want to send something small, but personal.
-
Traditional cake
Discover Meima CakesMade for sharing, often chosen for moments when you're together.

-
CakeMail
Order CakeMailMade for sending.
A carefully packaged cake slice, with a personal message — delivered through the letterbox.Not for sharing, but for reaching someone personally.
Especially when you can't be there yourself.
CakeMail does not replace traditional cake. It is a different way of giving.
Smaller in size, but often bigger in sentiment.
Why MEIMA?
At MEIMA, it's not just about what you send, but also about how it feels to receive it. That's why we make conscious choices in taste, appearance, and finish.
