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.
