This story highlights the experience of a client who tried ordering cake in Lekki both online and locally and her thought on which served her best.

When my friend’s birthday crept up on me (again), I had two choices: run to a nearby cake shop in Lekki or place an order online. I had always been curious, is there really a difference in quality, price, and service between ordering cake in Lekki online and walking into a physical store?

So, I decided to test both options.

Round 1: The In-Store Cake Experience

Lekki is filled with beautiful cake shops, from cozy home-based bakers to polished storefronts along Admiralty Way. I walked into a well-rated shop with the scent of vanilla greeting me at the door. The cakes on display looked stunning, and the staff was warm.

Pros:

I could see, smell, and choose the exact cake I wanted.

I asked questions and got immediate answers.

I left with the cake in hand, no waiting!

Cons:

Traffic made the trip longer than expected.

Limited customization unless I pre-ordered.

Prices were slightly higher than I expected, probably due to location and walk-in convenience.

Round 2: Ordering Cake Online In Lekki

Two weeks later, another occasion came up, my cousin’s engagement. This time, I ordered online from a reputable Lekki-based bakery with same-day delivery. The website was easy to navigate, and I could choose the flavour, size, inscription, and even upload a sample design.

Pros:

I ordered in my pyjamas (zero stress).

Delivery was right on time (a small miracle in Lagos).

They sent me a photo of the finished cake before dispatch.

Cons:

I couldn’t see the cake physically until it arrived.

I had to double-check the address and time to avoid delivery issues.

A small delivery fee was added.

My Verdict

If you need cake in Lekki quickly, and you want to inspect it before buying, a walk-in cake shop is great, especially if you’re already on the road.

But if you’re short on time (or energy) and need something special delivered to a loved one, online cake ordering in Lekki is a lifesaver. You just need to choose a trusted vendor, like Yefepere and confirm all details clearly.

Final Thoughts

Both experiences were sweet (literally). But having tested both, I now understand why many Lekki residents(especially busy professionals) are leaning into online cake delivery. It’s convenient, customizable, and surprisingly reliable when done right.

Next time you’re craving a celebration cake in Lekki, cake in Lagos or sending one from abroad, you’ve got two good options, just choose what suits your vibe.
