Paçoca (Peanut) Cake

Experience a true taste of South American heritage with our traditional Paçoca (Peanut) Cake. Inspired by Brazil's most beloved peanut confection, this artisan creation is meticulously handcrafted by Dhi and our team to deliver a sophisticated balance of sweet and salty flavors that is completely unique to the Christchurch dessert scene.

To suit the style of your gathering, we offer this culturally rich treat in two distinct formats: a striking 25cm architectural bundt cake that serves as a beautiful centerpiece for celebrations, or a perfectly portioned mini-bundt that is ideal for a personal afternoon indulgence.

The heart of this dessert is a remarkably moist, tender crumb infused with the deep, roasted essence of premium peanuts. We finish the cake by paying homage to its namesake—topping it with a delicate glaze and a generous dusting of crushed authentic paçoca. This provides a satisfying, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a roasted nut profile that feels both comforting and exotic.

Whether you are looking to introduce your dinner guests to a Brazilian classic or simply want a premium accompaniment to your specialty coffee, the Paçoca Cake delivers a high-end patisserie experience. Every cake is made to order in our central city studio using the finest ingredients.

Secure your preferred size by ordering online today for scheduled pickup from our patisserie inside The Welder.

Cake & Dessert Questions

Please read our FAQs page for an even more exhaustive list.

How many people will each size feed?

When choosing the size of cake, it's hard to say exactly how many people it will feed, but as a general guideline:

Mini Cakes & Desserts

  • These are intended to provide 1 serving per item

Loaf Cakes

  • 20cm - Provides 8 servings

Bundt Cakes

  • 25cm - Provides 16 servings

Desserts & Tarts

  • 20cm - Provides 10-12 servings

Layer Cakes

  • 15cm - provides 12-15 servings
  • 20cm - provides 20-25 servings
  • 25cm - provides 30-35 servings
Can you write something on the cake?

If it's a layer cake then yes, if you leave a note we can write something short e.g. "Happy Birthday Sam"

If it's a bundt, loaf, dessert, tart or our mini items then no unfortunately there isn't any space.

No Added Dairy/Gluten?

Due to recent NZ food labelling updates, I cannot claim any of my items are 'gluten-free' or 'dairy-free', only that I have not added any gluten or dairy containing ingredients.

While some of our products are made without allergen-containing ingredients, they are produced in a shared kitchen where allergens are present.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee they are safe for individuals with severe allergies.

Can I change something about the cake? e.g. decorations or ingredients

Get in touch with me if you have concerns about a specific item in a cake and we can see if we can accomodate.

We don't make custom cakes so cannot make new recipes for customers, only potentially omit ingredients or make minor changes.

Looking for flowers? - If you're looking for fresh flowers to add to your cake, you can order these from Petal & Co for pickup in Riverside Market.

Can you make me a custom cake?

Apologies but I don't make custom cakes, so cannot create something for you that's not listed on the menu.

Is it ok if we need to store it?

Yes, all of our cakes and desserts can be safely stored in the packaging we give you for 1-3 days without any change in taste or texture.

If you anticipate storing for more than this, it's best to freeze in an airtight container, however note that some of our decorations may crack from being frozen due to the expansion effect of moisture freezing.

Please let them come to room temperature before eating for the best experience.
