When customers started asking me to send cakes by post from my Leeds bakery, I tried many different types. But traditional Ukrainian honey cake (we call it Medovik) works best for postal delivery. Here's why honey cake is the best cake you can send by post, from my experience.

Why Honey Cake is Perfect for Postal Delivery

When I first started sending cakes by post from my Leeds bakery, I tried many different types. But traditional Ukrainian honey cake (we call it Medovik) works best. Unlike other cakes, honey cake has special properties that make it perfect for sending by post:

  • Dense texture that doesn't break - Honey cake has many thin layers that stick together good, so it doesn't crumble during transport

  • Honey keeps it fresh naturally - In Ukraine, we always use honey in cakes because it keeps them fresh for long time without fridge

  • No fridge needed - My honey cake stays fresh at room temperature for up to 7 days, perfect for postal delivery

  • Right size for letterbox - I make my honey cakes exactly right size to fit through normal UK letterboxes

Traditional Ukrainian Honey Cake Recipe

My traditional Ukrainian honey cake (Medovik) is made using my grandmother's recipe from Ukraine. I had to change it little bit to work good for postal delivery, but the main ingredients and method stay the same:

Authentic Ingredients

I use only real honey, fresh eggs, and traditional Ukrainian way of making. No chemicals or artificial stuff - just natural ingredients that keep the cake fresh naturally, like my grandmother taught me.

Time-Tested Method

Each layer is baked individually and assembled with care. The traditional method ensures the cake maintains its structure and flavor during postal transport.

Letterbox Perfect Size

Specially sized to fit through standard UK letterboxes (25cm x 5cm). The compact size ensures easy delivery while maintaining generous portions.

Premium Quality

Made fresh to order with premium ingredients. Each honey cake is individually crafted and quality-checked before packaging for postal delivery.

Honey Cake's Natural Preservation Properties

Our traditional Ukrainian honey cake (Medovik) is specifically designed for postal delivery. This centuries-old recipe has been perfected for modern postal requirements:

Why Honey Cake is Perfect for Post:

  • Dense, moist layers that don't dry out

  • Natural preservatives in honey extend shelf life

  • Firm structure prevents crumbling during transport

  • Rich, complex flavors that develop over time

  • Traditional recipe with no artificial preservatives

Perfect Texture for Letterbox Delivery

Honey cake's unique texture makes it ideal for postal delivery. The dense, layered structure ensures it maintains its shape and quality during transport, making it the perfect choice for letterbox delivery.

Why Honey Cake Texture is Perfect for Post:

  • Dense, stable layers that don't shift during transport

  • Moist texture that doesn't dry out or become crumbly

  • Firm structure that prevents damage from handling

  • Consistent texture throughout the entire cake
