Number Cake or Letter Cake: The Ultimate Birthday Cake
A number cake or letter cake is a birthday cake shaped like a number or letter. An Israeli pastry chef came up with the idea to create these birthday cakes, playing with numbers and an abundant filling, often a mix of fruits, macarons, chocolate, placed on pastry cream or ganache. It has now become a staple. Meringue and pavlova are the ideal base: the meringue can be piped into any desired shape, easily becoming a number or letter. Then, you simply dress the pavlova with your choice of whipped cream and seasonal fruits, and it's ready for candles.
Some number cake ideas based on the season:
Red Fruit Number Cake: A whipped cream infused with red fruit tea, strawberries, raspberries, and red currants—perfect for those born in May and June.
Exotic Number Cake: An orange-flavored whipped cream, with mango, passion fruit, and fresh orange segments, ideal for a vibrant March birthday.
Chocolate Number Cake: A chocolate whipped cream with raspberries and orange segments, a delicious treat before spring.
To choose the flavor of your number cake, feel free to consult our available recipes.
