Bird's Milk Cake

Bird's Milk Cake: a tenderness that pleases the soul

Imagine: an airy soufflé that melts in your mouth, a thin sponge cake, chocolate glaze with leaks and fresh berries on top. This is a bird's milk — dessert cake that has been familiar to many since childhood, but in our modern confectionery in Barcelona it has received a new life.

Where did he come from?

The story of the Bird's Milk cake — is a true culinary legend, and the main character of this story is a pastry chef Anna Chulkova.

How it all started

The idea for the dessert did not come from scratch. Back in the 1930s, candies called "Bird's Milk" (polsk appeared in Poland. Ptasie Mleczko). Their name was inspired by the ancient myth of "bird's milk" — by something rare, unattainable and incredibly desirable. These candies were very popular.

But a real breakthrough occurred in the 1960s, when Anna Chulkova, a confectioner at the Prague restaurant, decided to create a cake based on these sweets. She wanted to do something unusual, airy and memorable.

The secret of success

The main feature of the cake has become souffle. Anna Chulkova used agar-agar (geling agent from algae) instead of gelatin, which gave the dessert a unique — texture that was tender, airy and at the same time stable. The soufflé was so light that it literally melted in my mouth like "bird’s milk".

The cake consisted of three layers:

Biscuit — is thin, delicate, like a base.
Souffle — airy, with light sweetness.
Chocolate glaze — to complete the taste.

Bird's Milk Cake quickly became a hit. Anna Chulkova not only copied Polish candies — she created something unique. Her cake became a dream come true: tender, airy, a little magical. And even now, decades later, "Bird's Milk" remains one of the most beloved desserts.

Yes, this cake is a legend. We invite you to try this legend in its modern version. The title sounds like something magical, right? "Bird's milk" — is about something unattainable and very desirable. And we at our confectionery decided that everyone who loves sweets should have this dessert.

How do we do it?

Our cake — is a real miracle:

Biscuit — is thin, as gentle as a cloud.
Souffle — vanilla, airy, melting in mouth.
Chocolate glaze — with cocoa and beautiful leaks.
Fresh berries — for brightness and light sourness.

And we also have "Bird's Milk" candies with different flavors:

Classic vanilla — for those who love tradition.
Pistachio — with a light nutty aroma.
Raspberry — with a bright berry note.

Why is it so tasty?

There is no explanation for this fact, it’s delicious and that’s it. This cake has a very simple sponge cake, the tenderness of the soufflé is explained by whipped proteins with the addition of condensed milk and butter, the agar-agar thickener affects the texture and taste, but it is the combination of everything that is important: and the sponge cake, both soufflé and cocoa, and the berries simply set off the taste. Addictive, especially candy. I want them all the time. If you try once, you will then buy all the time.
