Bento Cakes in Dubai

Bento cakes first appeared in the 12th century but became popular only in 2020. With a conveniently small size and one-of-a-kind frosting decorations, it’s not surprising these lunchbox cakes remain world-famous. However, to understand such desserts, you must first understand their history. So jump right into the story of a bento cake, from its days in Japan to its modern worldwide fame.

Although they’re often called Korean cakes in Dubai, these treats actually appeared in 12th-century Japan when Oda Nobunaga changed traditional distribution methods to more convenient ones. One person received a small portion independently instead of hundreds of people queuing behind a large soup cauldron. Since then, most bento cake boxes have been discounted until 2020, when all things Korean started trending. With the pandemic ravaging the world, there wasn't much to do but adopt the latest South Korean sensation inspired by Japanese bento cakes. Nevertheless, Dubai’s mini-cakes also owe their popularity to the pandemic, when parties have relocated inside the safety of our homes. Nothing could uplift people’s spirits better than a small birthday cake crafted specifically for them.

Currently, bento cakes maintain worldwide popularity, being both mass-produced and hand-crafted in Tokyo, New York, London, and Dubai.
