If you want to give everyone at a festival one egg cake, start by checking the number of cakes in each pack: Jumbo lists packs of 10 egg cakes, while Heerlijck Banket at ALDI has a pack of 12. Mini egg cakes are a good choice for smaller portions. Bolletje’s individually wrapped option is handy if you’re handing them out later, but needs to be kept away from heat. If anyone has allergies, always check the current label before choosing a pack for the group.
If everyone is getting one cake, the number of cakes in the pack is more useful than the total weight alone. Jumbo lists packs of 10 egg cakes, while Heerlijck Banket at ALDI lists 12. Albert Heijn gives 12 portions of 30 g for its 360 g pack.
A smaller cake or an individually wrapped option can make it easier to hand them out at the festival. Jumbo lists 10 mini egg cakes per pack, while Bolletje lists 10 crisp egg cakes with a milk coating, individually wrapped.
For this group, checking the label should come before choosing a size. Jumbo lists egg, gluten, milk, soya and wheat, among other allergens, for its regular and mini egg cakes. Albert Heijn also offers a gluten-free pack of two egg cakes. Check the current ingredients and allergen information for that specific variety.
Decide who the egg cakes need to be suitable for and how many portions you want to hand out. Then choose a size and pack that work for how you’ll transport and distribute them.
