Confetti Cake

Confetti Cake by Lakrids by Bülow with colorful sprinkles

Confetti Cake by Lakrids by Bülow is a sweet liquorice core encased in white chocolate, speckled with colorful sugar sprinkles. Strawberry and pineapple provide the fruitiness, while cream and vanilla evoke the taste of a freshly sliced birthday cake.

Confetti Cake is the first variety in the CELEBRATION collection from Danish producer Lakrids by Bülow, available in stores since August 5, 2026. Unlike the company's winter and spring editions, this line is a permanent addition to the range rather than a seasonal product. Each tin contains 270 grams of cream-colored spheres, each one dotted with bright sprinkles.

Cream-colored spheres with sprinkles under the coating

The sprinkles are not on top, but embedded within the chocolate shell, shimmering pink, light blue, and orange through the white.

The first bite breaks through this shell with a short, crisp snap. The white chocolate then melts slowly and broadly, creamy and cool, allowing the fruit notes to emerge gradually. Finally, the soft, dark core appears, grounding the sweetness on a calmer level.

A thin coating of shellac and gum arabic holds the sprinkles in place. Without it, the colors would have settled to the bottom long ago after the first shake of the tin.

Strawberry and pineapple as dried fruit powder

The fruit is incorporated into the recipe as a powder: freeze-dried strawberries and spray-dried pineapple juice.

In this form, the aroma remains concentrated and prevents moisture from entering the chocolate. This is combined with cream powder and vanilla flavoring, which creates the cake profile promised by the name: strawberry and pineapple on top, cream and vanilla underneath, and liquorice as a dark foundation. The liquorice extract content is at one percent, keeping it mild and far from the salty, intense liquorice of the E variety.

The collection for small occasions

CELEBRATION is the house's new permanent line, celebrating not just milestone birthdays, but the Tuesdays in between.

Confetti Cake led the way, followed by Salmiak Shake in late August and Strawberry Symphony in early September. On the manufacturer's website, the variety holds 4.7 out of 5 stars from 114 reviews—impressive for a liquorice that sounds more like a children's birthday party than a Danish manufactory. The core is cooked with rice flour, making it gluten-free, and is bound by molasses and invert sugar syrup. Like the entire range, this variety is produced in Denmark.

The tin with the colorful dots

Above the black band, the logo's dots are featured in pink, turquoise, and yellow, and behind them, the spheres are clearly visible.

This tin doesn't need gift wrapping; it speaks for itself the moment you set it down. Confetti Cake is the perfect companion for a pot of black tea, vanilla ice cream, or simply for the afternoon coffee table. Chill it briefly beforehand so that the chocolate remains firm and the shell offers a more distinct snap.

If you enjoy the lighter varieties, this is for you: the closest match is Pink Pineapple, which also features pineapple under white chocolate, followed by C – Sour Strawberry with strawberry, and B – Passion Fruit, which is the most acidic of the three. The entire range can be found in the brand overview, where this tin size is referred to as "regular."
