The soft, feminine one. It fits an anniversary, a bridal sweet table, an 8 March gift, a spring brunch.
- 01 The coconut gives fibrous threads that stick between the teeth.
- 02 The almond crunch softens under the cream and disappears.
- 03 The cake looks “pale” — the layer structure gets lost in the photos.

Raffaello is a cake with the instantly recognisable taste of coconut and almond. A vanilla sponge, a gentle coconut cream, and a whole Raffaello truffle on top make it one of the most "gift-worthy" flavours in the collection. The taste is delicate and sweet — no chocolate, no tang, no contrasts.
Peak orders come in spring: International Women’s Day, wedding sweet tables, celebration brunches. Raffaello sits firmly in the top 3 by order count, especially during wedding season. Clients who choose this flavour usually already know what they want — you do not need to convince them.
Cost per cake is above average because of coconut, almonds, and condensed milk. But the "premium" perception of the flavour lets you price it 20–30 % above the base line-up without pushback. In photos the cake looks elegant — white, clean, with the texture of coconut shavings.

What buyers say about this flavour
Saw Zhenia's Instagram story with Raffaello and bought it specifically because of that one. Coconut-almond sponge + the crunchy layer — superb. My husband, who doesn't even like coconut, ate half the small cake himself.
I watch Zhenia on YouTube together with my mum. She likes traditional cakes, I like modern ones. Raffaello pleased us both, which is rare :) Now we want to make Ferrero and compare.
I watch TROUBLEBABA on YouTube because Yevgenia explains calmly and doesn't pretend pastry is some kind of magic. The collection is the same. Made Raffaello without any exotic tools.
