Who are these packs suitable for?

If you’re planning a small get-together

You’ll want to know in advance how many equal portions you’ll get from one pack. ALDI lists 12 Heerlijck Banket Barn Egg Cakes, so check your guest list to see whether that’s enough.

If you want to serve smaller bites

You’re looking for a smaller option than standard egg cakes. Jumbo Mini Egg Cakes come in a 250 g pack of 10, with the nutritional information listing a 25 g portion.

If you need to consider allergies

You’ll want to know which variety is suitable for your guests. Jumbo lists egg, gluten, milk and soya among the allergens in its mini egg cakes; check the latest allergen information on the packaging of each variety you choose.

What should you look for when choosing?

Work out how many pieces you need and what portion size you’d like, then check that your chosen variety meets your guests’ allergen requirements.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Number of portions Count how many egg cakes you’d like to serve each guest, then compare that number with the pack size. If I want to offer everyone their own egg cake, one pack needs to contain enough, or I’ll need to buy more. Around 50% of consumers choosing egg cakes for a get-together put the number of portions first.
Allergens Read the latest ingredients and allergen information, including any warnings about traces. If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in the variety I’ve chosen before serving it. For around 30% of these consumers, checking this comes first.
Size and variety Choose between standard egg cakes, mini egg cakes and a crisp variety wrapped individually; also compare the number of pieces. For a table of small bites, I’d prefer mini portions. If I want to hand them out individually, individually wrapped cakes could be a good fit. Around 20% of consumers say size or variety is their top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a sharing pack for a large pack

    A label such as ‘sharing bag’ doesn’t tell you how many guests it will serve. The packs covered here contain 10 or 12 pieces.

    Before buying, count how many egg cakes you want to serve. If you need more than one pack contains, plan to buy several.

  • Assuming every guest can eat the same egg cake

    According to Jumbo, its Mini Egg Cakes contain egg, gluten, milk, soya and wheat. Allergen information may vary for other varieties.

    Ask your guests about any dietary requirements and read the latest information on the packaging of your chosen variety before serving.

  • Assuming a temporary supermarket offer is always available

    Lidl lists its pack of 12 egg cakes as an in-store offer running from 5 to 11 October 2026. This doesn’t tell you whether it’ll be available at other times.

    Check the current offer dates and availability before making a special trip to the shop for this pack.
