Signature Honey Cake
«Signature Honey Cake» is considered as a classic Russian dessert. For almost everyone the smell of honey and vanilla is associated with a holiday or a birthday. These scents of childhood are known almost by everyone. For those who is ready to dip into nostalgia, our pastry shop also offers honey cakes. All the luscious honey cakes are generously dipped in a creamy custard. We use nly natural ingredients. Even though we use sugar, we would like to point out that our honey cake does not have the usual sugary sweetness, so you can offer it to children without fear.
«Saying honestly, Meedovik is not a cake, but an idea of a cake. Because there are so many variations that it's hard to know which one is truer, more traditional, more authentic. People usually go by their own tastes or family recipes. That's why it's so hard to talk about Medovik: even if it is thee one for you, someone might not like it. Not because it's not good, no, but simply because they're used to it differently... I decided to do the same and made Medovik from simple ingredients using the classic recipe. The customers say it's delicious. We believe them and that's the only reason we carry on with our business. It’s good to know that we don't just make any cakes, but the very special ones from our childhood. By the way, do you remember at what age did you first try Honey Cake?" - Pastry chef Tatiana Varlamova.

What size cake is best to order?
For an average gathering, a 600g cake is sufficient for 3 people, either for one hearty serving with tea or split into two servings to savor the pleasure.
For a group of 3 to 6 people, a 1kg cake is ideal—you'll easily finish it in one sitting.
For a group of 6 to 9 people, a 1.5kg cake would suffice, but opting for a 2kg cake might be better.
For a gathering of 10 people or more, consider a cake weighing 3kg or even larger. Do note that we can prepare massive cakes weighing over 10kg upon request.
Some of our guests are hesitant about a 1.5kg cake, thinking, 'It's too much for the two of us.' This is a misconception! Even if you order a cake for two, it will remain equally fresh for 3 to 4 days, and you'll undoubtedly finish it. A 1.5kg cake is larger in diameter than others, measuring 24 cm across, giving it a more substantial appearance.
To understand how the cakes differ visually, here are their sizes: 600 g - 15 cm diameter - 6 cakes; 1 kg - 19 cm diameter - 7 cakes; 1.5 kg - 19 cm diameter - 9 cakes; 2 kg - 24 cm diameter - 8 cakes; 3 kg - 24 cm diameter - 12 cakes. -
What kind of cream is in the cake?
The cake features a creamy custard. We craft our cream by incorporating butter, as just a 'custard' cream is typically considered a more affordable variant. It's completely sterile and safe for consumption since it undergoes thermal treatment. Moreover, due to the harmonious combination of cream components, it turns out airy, ensuring that even after indulging in the cake, there's no feeling of heaviness in the digestive system. -

Why does the cake have yesterday's date on it?
According to the Honey Cake recipe, it should be soaked with cream for over 12 hours; otherwise, the layers might turn out dry. We date the cakes immediately after assembly. So, there's no need to worry if our cakes have yesterday's date on them – they are the freshest, well-soaked, natural, and delicious products.
