No Nasties, Just Cream: Why Our Cakes Are Made the Real Way
Let’s talk about cream — that light, fluffy goodness that turns a cake from basic to brilliant. At Little Cake Box, we care just as much about what’s inside the cake as how it looks on the outside. While many cakes out there are made with cheap substitutes, we stick to the real deal: fresh dairy cream. Pure, natural, and simply delicious.
So what’s the difference between fresh cream and the artificial stuff? And why should you care? Let’s break it down.
Fresh Dairy Cream Versus Vegetable Based Cream
Most people do not realise this, but many commercial cakes use vegetable based cream, also known as non-dairy cream. It is made from vegetable oils, thickeners, and flavourings, and while it may look pretty, it is not exactly good for you.
Vegetable based cream often contains hydrogenated oils, emulsifiers, and artificial flavours that help it stay firm longer. But those same ingredients can leave a waxy feeling in your mouth, and worse, they have been linked to long term health risks when consumed regularly. Some cakes even contain trans fats, which have been shown to raise bad cholesterol levels.
Wondering how to spot the difference?
Real dairy cream tastes soft, mild, and clean, with a natural sweetness that melts on the tongue. It requires refrigeration and has a shorter shelf life. In contrast, fake cream tends to be overly sweet, heavy, and lasts unnaturally long without going bad.
Why Little Cake Box Chooses Fresh Cream Only
At Little Cake Box, we use 100% real whipping cream. That means no artificial cream, no chemical flavours, no strange additives, and absolutely no hydrogenated oils.
Our fresh dairy cream is rich in natural milk fat, silky in texture, and subtly sweet, the kind of cream that lets real flavour shine through. We whip our cream fresh daily in our Sydney kitchen so every cake tastes clean, light, and naturally indulgent. No shortcuts. Just pure goodness in every bite.
A Crowd Favourite for a Reason
Thanks to this commitment to quality, our signature cream cakes have become a huge hit, especially among younger customers in Sydney. They love the soft textures, the freshness, and the flavour that does not overpower. Our cakes are delicately sweet, not heavy or greasy, which makes them perfect for birthdays, picnics, and everyday celebrations.
