The Ultimate Guide to Bento Cakes

Have you heard of the latest craze in the world of desserts? Bento cakes are taking the baking world by storm, offering a unique and delicious little sweet treat for all events (or just 'cos). But what exactly are bento cakes, and why should you order one for your next special occasion?

What are Bento Cakes?

Bento cakes are tiny little 2 layered cakes that typically come in a burger box with a candle and cake forks. Enough to share between 4 people, they make the perfect little treat to take to a small celebration, a family picnic or have as a snack in bed. They come in many different designs and are very instagram-worthy, so add one to your feed today!

Where did they originate?

Bento cakes first originated in South Korea, and were further popularised in Japan, due to their convenience. "Bento" in Japanese means convenient, and that is exactly what these little lunchbox cakes are. Their customisable designs, ease of clean up and giftable nature have propelled their popularity around the world due to their creative and customisable nature. During Covid, many people were not able to celebrate with their loved ones due to lockdown being enforced, and therefore did not need a larger sized cake like they usually would. This is when our bento cakes really started to gain popularity, and have since been our best selling products to this day.

Bento cakes have become the latest craze in the baking world due to their unique presentation and ability to cater to a wide range of celebrations. Whether you are having a birthday, graduating, having a baby or just need a sweet treat for the weekend, there is sure to be a bento cake for you.
