Sugar-free cakes
Diabetes does not have to mean a celebration without cake. We have baked custom cakes in Bratislava since 2012, and we make this range without refined sugar, sweetened with xylitol instead: as sweet to taste and as festive to look at as any other cake we bake. You choose the design and the flavours exactly as you would with a classic order.

What changes in a sugar-free cake
- No refined sugar (sucrose) anywhere in the recipe
- Sweeteners with a low or zero glycaemic index
- Fewer quickly absorbed carbohydrates
- Enough fibre and fat to slow down the absorption of the carbohydrates that remain
- Allergens clearly listed
Xylitol, the sweetener we use
We sweeten these cakes with xylitol, a natural sweetener made from birch. It is hard to tell apart from ordinary sugar by taste alone, so the cake is exactly as sweet as it should be.
- It does not raise blood sugar as sharply as ordinary sugar
- The same sweetness as classic sugar, with no compromise in taste
- Kind to teeth, which comes in handy at a kids' birthday party
Flavours and design
You choose the taste and the look as freely as with any classic order. Tell us the occasion, the number of guests and what you like, and we'll build the cake around it: no refined sugar, sweetened with xylitol, decorated to your idea.
A sugar-free cake can also carry a second dietary requirement, for example gluten-free or lactose-free. Just say so when you order.
Before you order
Please note: our sugar-free cakes are meant as an occasional celebration food, not as everyday eating. If you live with diabetes, we recommend discussing the amount and the suitability of a particular cake with your diabetologist or dietitian.
Frequently asked questions
Is the cake really free of sugar?
It contains no refined sugar; we sweeten it with xylitol instead. Some fillings, fruit especially, naturally contain fructose, and we keep that amount to a minimum.
Can guests without diabetes enjoy it too?
Yes. Xylitol tastes very close to ordinary sugar, so most people never notice the difference. One cake works for the whole table.
Can a sugar-free cake also be gluten-free or lactose-free?
Yes, on request we combine several dietary requirements in one cake. Tell us what you need when you order and we'll design the recipe around it.
Do you make sugar-free cakes for weddings and larger parties?
Yes, including tiered cakes and sugar-free candy bars. If some of your guests have diabetes, we can prepare a clearly labelled sugar-free section on the dessert table.
Do you deliver, or do I pick the cake up?
Both work. Delivery anywhere in Bratislava is €10 and comes in a refrigerated van; pickup at Ovsištské námestie 1 in Petržalka is free.
