Birthdays, anniversaries and other nice occasions…
Although times are changing, and with them fashion, preferences and lifestyle, some issues have remained unchanged for years - one could venture to say that they have been for centuries. We celebrate all the joyful moments in life, personal holidays and successes with our loved ones, and delicacies appear on the table, emphasizing the unique character of the day and making feasting together more enjoyable.
It is most often the culmination of a party delicious cake.
Our great-grandparents enjoyed sweet cakes, our grandmothers and mothers baked wonderful butter cakes, and over time, ordering baked goods for special occasions from confectionery professionals became more and more popular.
Thanks to this, you can be sure that the cake will be a feast not only for the palate, but also for the eyes. And you will gain time for other pleasures.
Sometimes the occasion to celebrate is spontaneous and there is no time for baking. Then a proven confectionery shop comes to the rescue, where you can always find a selection of cakes, from cake cubes to round, fluffy delicacies, from buttery creams to light cream and meringue combinations.
Which cake should you choose for a party?
It depends on the occasion and taste preferences of consumers, speaking in business terms.
We choose different flavors for children than for 18-year-olds, the nature of the event will also determine the cake decoration and its size.
BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR A CHILD
We suggest choosing a flavor known and liked by the child. The safest option will be the classic strawberry or chocolate flavor. Children love whipped cream and light cakes, so we recommend a cake layered with whipped cream and decorated with fruit or chocolate. At children's balls, you should avoid cakes with heavy butter cream, nut cakes, marzipan cakes, or dark chocolate cakes. Intense, refined flavors are rather appreciated by adults.
It is worth finding out in advance whether any of the little guests are on a gluten-free or lactose-free diet.
In such cases, we recommend a cake without wheat flour (we replace it with rice flour or a meringue base), and the cream mass is prepared from lactose-free ingredients.
If you are hesitant about choosing a flavor, we recommend our proven ones, loved by kids.

The appearance of a cake for a children's birthday usually refers to the child's gender, favorite colors, toys or characters from children's fairy tales and cartoons. Thanks to the technology of printing on wafers with food-grade inks, you can place a photo of a child or your own favorite motif on the cake. The classic form of decoration with whipped cream and fruit will always work.
Baptism and First Holy Communion are special occasions - we encourage you to read communion guide and an article about elegant cakes for special celebrations. (link)
OCCASIONAL CAKE FOR ADULTS
Depending on the number of invited people, birthday cakes can have a classic round shape (for up to 15 people) or rectangular, in some cases multi-tiered.
Some occasions favor choosing a heart shape - Valentine's Day, anniversaries or even Mother's Day.
In turn, for an event organized in a restaurant, with the option of a sweet buffet, mini-desserts in the form of round cakes "at once" will be extremely convenient and decorative.
The flavor of a cake for adult birthday celebrants is often chosen depending on the season. Thanks to the fruits available in the summer season, fruit flavors and decorations are eagerly chosen, while in winter - expressive flavors of chocolate, nuts, with the addition of dried fruits, cinnamon and caramel. Many people prefer to soak the cake with alcohol-based liqueurs or punches, although non-alcoholic versions, served with a glass of champagne or a selection of tinctures or liqueurs, are becoming more and more popular.
Here are the classic cake flavors most frequently chosen by customers:
