Right. Number six.
Six is underrated honestly. Gets overshadowed by five and seven sometimes. But six is solid. Six is nice. Half dozen. Cricket thing. Works.
Same deal as the others.
Massive. 34 inches. Nearly three feet. Foil not latex so it lasts ages. Weeks not days. Shiny. Makes a statement. You want people to know it's a party? This helps.
Helium inflated. Ready to float.
Comes filled. No work for you. Well. You still have to carry it. But no pumping. No stressing. Just pick up and go.
Float time is good.
Foil balloons are different to latex. They don't give up after a day. Keep it indoors, away from drafts, not in direct sun? 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 right up.
Heat makes it expand. Don't leave it in a hot car. Might pop. Not definitely but possible. Better safe than sorry.
Who's buying this one?
Sixth birthdays. Six years old. Proper little human now.
16th birthdays. Sweet sixteen. Big deal. This one's popular.
60th birthdays. The big six oh. Massive milestone. Very popular.
26th. Two and six together if you're doing multiple numbers.
36th, 46th, 56th. Any age with a six really.
66th. Double sixes. Looks good. Lucky even.
Sixth anniversaries. Iron traditionally but balloons work too.
Half dozen celebrations. Six of something. You know.
Honestly anyone who just likes the number six. 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 loads. 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. Seen it happen. Not pretty.
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. Don't let it be yours.
Right. That's the number six done.
Perfect for sixth birthdays. 60ths. 16ths. Any age with a six 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.

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
