Italian Snack Cakes Ballerina with Chocolate Cream by Freddi, 8.5 oz (240 g)

Freddi’s Italian Snack Cakes with Chocolate Cream combine a soft, fluffy yellow sponge cake with rich chocolate cream filling. The cake rests on a thick cocoa layer and is decorated with lines of cocoa icing, adding a little crunchiness to the texture. The flavor is strong but not overly sweet.

Italian desserts are well-known and loved for their delectable textures and flavors. Whether the famous tiramisu, panna cotta, cannoli, or their less popular peers, you can count on sweet Italian treats to brighten your day. Using the iconic flavors in other desserts, like cake cups, swiss rolls, or cake bars, is becoming more and more common, giving the old favorites a new, convenient form. Check out our expertly curated collection of snack cakes from around the world to explore more options. 

Freddi’s story begins in 1949 in Castiglione Stiviere, a small town in the Lombardy region. Luigi Freddi opened his bakery in the old town, initially concentrating on commercial sales. Luigi personally delivered freshly baked cakes to hotels, shops, and even other pastry-makers. In just a decade, the demand for his high-quality pastries grew so much that the bakery transformed into an industrial plant. In 1969, a newer, bigger Freddi plant was opened and equipped with one of Italy’s first automatic snack packaging lines. In 1979, Freddi moved into the international market, with France, Germany, Spain, and the Middle East becoming the first countries outside Italy to enjoy gourmet cakes.

Freddi’s Italian Snack Cakes with Cocoa Cream are best enjoyed slightly chilled (keep it in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving). The yellow sponge cake and chocolate layers create a strong yet moderately sweet flavor that pairs well with most beverages, including coffee, tea, milk, and cocoa.
