Botanical Bliss: Lavender Cake in a Glass

​
A Blooming Beautiful Dessert with Botanical Elegance
Looking to impress your guests with a dessert that’s equal parts charming and delicious? This Lavender White Cake Coupe Glass Dessert is the perfect mix of simplicity and sophistication.
Made using our signature Lavender White Cake Mix, this recipe creates a light, floral cake that bakes quickly in a sheet pan — and is then transformed into a stunning single-serve presentation using a coupe glass. Perfect for tea parties, garden soirées, bridal showers, or your next “just because” moment.
🌸 Ingredients: 🧁 Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Prepare your cake batter and pour into a small greased cookie sheet or shallow baking pan.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Once cooled, use a coupe glass as a cutter to create perfect rounds of cake.
  5. Place each round into the bottom of a coupe glass.
  6. Gently brush the top of each cake round with lavender simple syrup using a pastry brush.
  7. Add a layer of your favorite fresh fruit on top.
  8. Pipe or spray a generous dollop of whipped cream over the fruit.
  9. Finish with a lavender cocktail pick adorned with a few berries or a fresh lavender sprig.
✨ Why We Love It: This recipe turns a simple cake into a statement piece. The lavender adds a floral note without being overpowering, and the coupe glass presentation makes it feel like a dessert you’d find at a boutique restaurant or curated gathering.
