Everything you need to make a bento cake

A full-size cake with a complete cake design takes time to make. That's why a bento cake is the ideal solution for an individual dessert to enjoy on the go.

This miniature cake is usually 10 cm in diameter and comes in a bento box. We therefore offer moulds specifically designed for this small size.

In our selection of bento cake supplies, you'll also find everything you need to prepare, fill, and decorate your cake. We have everything you need to put together your bento cake kit, no matter your baking skills!

Bento cake mould, sponge cake and cream: the essentials

To make a bento cake, you first need the right mould. The 10cm aluminum mould from Wilton is perfect for this!

Prepare your sponge cake or use our ready-made mix to make the biscuit base. The latter allows you to quickly obtain a base ready to be filled.

For the filling, buttercream is the main ingredient for assembling and decorating the bento cake. Here too, we help you save time and effort with our buttercream mixes in vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry flavours.

We also have a plain buttercream mix that allows you to customise the flavour of your bento cake to your recipe. Simply add food flavouring or flavouring paste, mix well, and then fill your cake.

💡 BAKING TIP

To color your buttercream and match the decoration of your bento cake to your chosen theme, add gel food colouring. For example, red for a Valentine's Day cake design, orange for a Halloween bento cake...

Other types of filling can also be used to prepare a bento cake. For example, our delicious filling pastes (speculoos, chocolate-hazelnut, pistachio flavors...) or our fruit purees.

The essentials for decorating a bento cake

✔️ Sugar sprinkles and decorations

Small cake decorations like sprinkles are perfect for bento cakes. They instantly add a colourful and cheerful touch to your decoration.

Of course, you can adapt them to the theme of your bento cake. If it's for Valentine's Day, for example, we have them in different shapes. Like butterflies, flowers, hearts...

On Autourdugateau.uk, you'll find over 160 sugar decorations for your cakes. So feel free to browse them to find the perfect ones for your occasion!

✔️ Chocolate pen and gourmet toppings

A bento cake is often decorated with an inscription on top. "Happy Mother's Day" for Mother's Day, "I love you" for a Valentine's Day bento cake, or even "Happy Birthday!" With our chocolate tubes, you can write a name, an age, or a personalized message on your cake.

You can then surround it with a pretty piped swirl of buttercream. Or, alternatively, use our delicious glazes around the edge of the bento cake.

A miniature cake ideal for many occasions

✔️ Birthday Bento Cake

The bento cake is a cake that can be personalised very easily. It is therefore ideal for a birthday. Adapt its decoration to the chosen theme (colours, patterns, etc.), then write the person's name and age on it with a chocolate pen.

✔️ Valentine’s Day bento cake

Bento cakes are very popular for Valentine's Day. They're small, sweet treats. Choose our strawberry buttercream to fill your cake, or colour your own pink or red. Then, sprinkle the top of your bento cake with our heart-shaped sprinkles.

👉 Choose our slightly larger bento cake mould (12.5 or 16 cm) so you can share dessert between two!

✔️ Halloween Bento Cake

The trendy bento cake is also a great addition to your Halloween table. With our gel food colouring and flavourings, you can easily personalise your buttercream frosting. For example, use shades of orange, purple, or black. You can make a pumpkin-flavoured sponge cake, or create a pumpkin bento cake using our pumpkin spice mix! For decoration, small sprinkles shaped like ghosts, skulls, or bats will do the trick perfectly.

✔️ Christmas Bento Cake

The Halloween bento cake concept can be adapted for Christmas. Choose red, white, and green to decorate your cake and add a few bright touches. For example, you could use pearly sugar pearls or gold sprinkles.

Our bento cake boxes

Add the finishing touch to your cake's decoration with our bento boxes! The box is an integral part of the cake's visual identity. It protects the decoration during transport and allows for a neat presentation.

With our set of 10 bento cake boxes, you'll have everything you need to deliver these little cakes without any hassle. You can personalise them by adding your company logo or a pretty decorative ribbon. This will present the bento cake as a truly delicious gift!

We also have lovely sheets of parchment paper suitable for transporting bento cakes. You'll find them for every occasion: Christmas, Easter, Birthdays.
