Inspired by castella, Japanese honey sponge cake, PT Eloda Mitra created a new cake product. It’s a modification version of the original castella. 🍰
The challenge was, during that time, Japanese cake wasn’t as popular as it is now in Indonesia. Lighter than a pound cake, finer than a sponge cake, this cake surely needs to have a distinctive name. Because this plain yellow, rectangle-shaped cake slightly resembles Indonesian spiku or bolu.
So “Gold Cake” was born.
The design idea was inspired by Japanese gifting culture, featuring Mizuhiki that wraps around the cake texture on the box.
It breaks stereotypes in showing that frozen food isn’t good enough for a gift.✨
Where the box may not be transparent, the gift-givers intentions always are 😊
