Traditional production methods handed down in the Yakushiji family that have remained unchanged for half a century.

The brandy cakes at Royal Creative Confectionery are made by a craftsman who carefully soaks each freshly baked pound cake with brandy by hand.
The cakes are then wrapped in silver paper and placed in a box for slow maturation, resulting in a unique taste with a distinct aroma.
This is the ultimate luxury product, as only 18 brandy cakes can be made from a 720 ml bottle of brandy.

Brandy cake to mature
and develop its taste

The brandy cakes from the creative confectionery Royal have the characteristic of ‘ripening’, much like brandy, and their taste changes depending on when they are eaten.
The pleasure of waiting for the ‘ripening’ process is one of the attractions of this brandy cake.
It is known that the flavour is enhanced by ripening the cake by turning it upside down over a week or two, and is popularly known among connoisseurs as ‘growing brandy cake’.

experience

The ‘experience’ of maturing
to your own taste The idea of vintage.

Immediately after production, the brandy cake is ‘fluffy’ on the inside with brandy on the surface and water (brandy syrup) on the bottom.
Over time, the cake matures and the centre changes from ‘fluffy’ to ‘fluffy-moist’.
Freshly made cakes have their own special qualities. Freshly made cakes have their own special qualities, and the best time to enjoy their alcoholic and liquor-like traits is when they are freshly made.
When to serve is one of the pleasures of brandy cake. We recommend that you prepare two, one to be served immediately and the other to be ‘matured’ to enjoy the different textures.

experience image

A delicious way to grow mature brandy cake.

Brandy cake has long had a similar ‘ageing’ characteristic to that of brandy.
Likewise, its taste changes depending on when it is eaten.
The pleasure of waiting for brandy cake to ‘ripen’ is part of its charm.

experience fig

The brandy cake matures day by day, and by repeatedly turning the box upside down every 1 to 2 weeks, the (brandy syrup) that has soaked into the bottom is slowly brought down to the top.
By turning the cake upside down over time, the aroma and deliciousness travel around the center of the brandy cake over and over again, giving it a fluffy and moist texture and will continue to do so.
※ In the cold winter months, the ripening process is slower.

※ Please keep unopened and work at room temperature. When the box is opened, it must be refrigerated and consumed within one week.
