Birthday parties for children are colorful, joyful, and full of anticipation. But when it comes to children's birthday cakes, the reality often looks like this: fondant bombs that look beautiful, but taste like pure sugar due to the sugar paste, and that no one would want to eat, or even should. Looks good on Instagram with the adorable little figurines, but tastewise? Rather disappointing. At Mansfield Park, we do it differently. We believe: A cake shouldn't just look beauti

I have a day off and want to do something nice for my family, so I'm looking online for recommendations for vegan cakes and tarts. After all, my sister already knows my creations very well, so I wanted something new, and there must be something in Berlin. There's almost an overabundance of options here, so blogs and other posts are certainly the most helpful in the search. Just skimming through a post from a well-known food blog that introduces and recommends providers (of ve

Pistachio berry cake with pistachio white chocolate mousse and berry puree. Yoghurt cake with passionfruit coulis and lime yoghurt mousse. Chocolate cake with caramel, roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate mousse. Bestselling cake at Mansfield Park: Pistachio | White Chocolate | Berry You can't get such combinations for birthday cakes anywhere else in Berlin, not in any online shop and not even in a purely vegan café.

Mansfield Park's café In September, my husband and I took over a store, the former Kiosk Sardelle in Wedding. Located in Sprengelkiez, I was convinced by the brightness of the main room and the possibilities the store offered. So, now a vegan café in Berlin. Something I never wanted. Too much responsibility, too much uncertainty. But stronger diversification. That's always good for a business. My customers could finally try my cakes without having to order an entire cake, and

Most beautiful wedding cake It's a privilege to be part of a couple's wedding. The discussions during the process of finding the perfect cake has led Mansfield Park to what it now stands for: Unique modern wedding cakes, sometimes with combinations that are even strange to me, but which represent the taste of the future spouses and from which their wedding guests should benefit at the wedding. The most common design is definitely a two-tier semi-naked wedding cake. This is of

When Mansfield Park was founded, the main project was to bring a good cinnamon roll to Berlin. Back then, Zeit für Brot wasn't available everywhere in the center, and few cafes sold them. Now, it seems every other cafe feels compelled to make some form of cinnamon rolls. Coming from my American background, I fondly remember the huge, juicy buns from Cinnabon and wanted to create something similar in a vegan version. They should be those large, squishy rolls that melt in you

Recently, I conducted a survey on Instagram about the prices of Mansfield Park cakes. Because even if there's just one complaint a year...

I myself have been living vegan for a long time. That's why I also make purely plant-based baked goods. I make and eat only these and therefore think that I am more qualified to produce a good vegan product than companies that offer vegan options just because there is a certain demand. Mansfield Park started with cakes and cinnamon rolls that we sold at markets. That was exhausting and not very lucrative. Also because everyone believes they can make cinnamon rolls. More on th

This is something that has been on my mind for a while. I'm not a big fan of chocolate - it always seems to stick everywhere, and the...
