Right. The number one.
You've seen the zero already if you were looking before. This is the other one. The one that goes with it or just on its own depending what you need.
First birthdays. First anniversaries. 21st. 31st. 41st.
Any age ending in one basically. Or the start of something. New beginning. That sort of vibe.
Same deal as the zero.
Massive. 34 inches. Nearly three feet tall. Foil not latex so it lasts ages. Weeks not days. Shiny. Proper statement piece. You want photos to look good? This'll help.
Helium inflated. Ready to float.
Comes filled. No work for you. Just pick it up and take it to your party. Or keep it at home just because. No judgement.
Float time is good.
Foil balloons are different to latex. They don't give up after a day. Kept indoors, away from drafts, not in direct sun? Could be three weeks easy. Maybe more.
Temperature matters though. Cold makes helium shrink. If you collect it on a freezing day it might look a bit sad. Give it time to warm up indoors. It'll perk up.
Heat makes it expand. Don't leave it in a hot car. Might pop. Not definitely but possible. Better safe.
Who's buying this one?
First birthdays obviously. Number one for the one year old. Classic.
21st birthdays. Big one.
31st, 41st, 51st. Any age with a one.
Anniversaries. 1st anniversary is paper traditionally but balloons work too.
New business openings. Number one. Top dog. That sort of thing.
Honestly anyone who just likes the number one. No judgement.
Can I get it without helium?
Yeah if you want. Maybe you're sticking it on a wall or using it for a photoshoot. Select the flat option. Cheaper. You sort the filling.
When should I order?
Couple days notice if you can. Helium's not always guaranteed. Sometimes I've got plenty. Sometimes I'm waiting on a delivery. Few days notice means I can make sure.
Last minute? Message anyway. I'll tell you if it's possible.
Collection or delivery?
Collect from the shop. Bring a big car. These are massive. Won't fit in a tiny car without a fight.
Or I can deliver with your cake order. Same day. Works well if you're getting everything at once.
One thing to mention.
Wind is the enemy. Balloons want to escape. If you're taking it outside on a breezy day hold on tight. Seen too many fly away. Sad times.
Right. That's the number one done.
Perfect for firsts. First birthdays. First anniversaries. First of anything really.

The delivery drivers aim to deliver your order within the selected time slot. However, delays may occur due to circumstances beyond our control, such as traffic. If this happens, we will try to contact you using the phone number you provided.
When the driver arrives, they will knock or ring the bell. If there is no response, they will attempt to call you. If still unanswered, the order will be returned to our store. In such cases, you will need to contact us to arrange redelivery (charged at our standard delivery rate) or collect your order from our store free of charge. Delivery charges are non-refundable.
If you miss your scheduled delivery day and request a refund or a replacement cake for the next day, an additional charge will apply.
For flats or apartment buildings, we kindly ask that you meet the driver at the main entrance.
On receiving your order, please check your cake carefully, especially the written message and its condition. Any damage must be reported immediately. Please take clear photos, inform the driver, and refuse the delivery if necessary. Once a delivery is accepted and the driver has left, it becomes more difficult for us to investigate. As we work with third-party couriers, minor imperfections may occur. While we strive to fulfil every order with care, we ask for your understanding of slight damages. If your cake arrives in poor condition, please take photos and return it with the driver to the store for a refund.
For any issues such as missing items, damaged cakes, or changes to your delivery date or time, please contact your local store directly. If the matter is unresolved, you may email us at hello@cakestown.co.uk
