Just like there are tiers of friendship, there are tiers of cakes—both literally and metaphorically. We’re here to help you pick the right one for the right friend. So we’ve organized this guide by categories that range from tolerable acquaintance to most trusted ally. Our bottom-tier friendship cakes, which are still perfectly fine, are typically under $20 and can be picked up at the last minute. The top-tier friendship cakes are sure to make the birthday person’s eyes twinkle. You’ll also find some very useful cakes in the middle for the friends you like, but, you know, maybe don’t love.
