Which size is right for you?

Festival-goers who want to share

If you want to share cakes between tent-mates or across several snack breaks, check how many are in each pack. ALDI lists 14 mini kano cakes in a 308 g pack.

Campers with limited storage space

Check the pack size and storage instructions if you’re taking food into a tent. Choose a spot out of direct sunlight and protected from moisture, and follow the instructions on the label.

Shoppers who need to check allergens

Check the exact variety you’re buying. Allergen information for the kano cakes described includes milk, egg, wheat, soya and almonds; this varies by product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether smaller cakes for sharing matter more to you than a larger cake per piece. Then check availability, the label and storage conditions at the campsite.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this important for?
Size and sharing Check the number of cakes and the total weight. ALDI lists 14 mini kano cakes in a 308 g pack. If I’m sharing a pack with tent-mates, I want to be able to take a smaller cake each time. Around 33% of consumers say this is their main priority when sharing.
Availability and quantity Check current stock and compare the number of pieces with the total weight. ALDI marks its mini kano cakes as available while stocks last; Jumbo says its online mini version is no longer available. Just before setting off, I want to be able to buy what I need for my group without relying on one particular mini version. This certainty is a priority for around 25% of consumers.
Allergens and storage Read the allergen information, best-before date and storage instructions on the label of the pack you choose. I need to know whether the cakes are suitable for my group and where I can store them at the campsite. These considerations matter most to around 42% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming mini kano cakes are always available

    ALDI marks its mini kano cakes as available while stocks last, while Jumbo says its online mini version is no longer available. So you can’t necessarily count on finding a particular pack.

    Check stock before planning your pre-trip shop, and choose another size or a different snack if needed.

  • Comparing only the number of cakes

    The number of pieces doesn’t tell you how much is in a pack. ALDI also lists a total weight of 308 g for its 14 mini kano cakes.

    Consider both the number of pieces and the total weight when deciding how many packs to take.

  • Assuming all kano cakes contain the same allergens

    Allergen information varies by recipe and variety. Jumbo’s regular butter kano cakes, for example, list almonds, egg, milk, soya and wheat.

    Read the label on the pack every time you buy, even if you recognise the product name.

  • Leaving an opened pack unprotected in the tent

    A tent isn’t automatically a suitable place to store food, especially in sunlight or damp conditions. Follow the storage instructions on the pack.

    Keep the pack somewhere protected from sunlight and moisture, and seal it securely after opening.

Frequently asked questions

Are mini kano cakes more practical than regular kano cakes for festival camping?

Mini kano cakes are handy if you want to share smaller cakes between people or snack breaks; regular kano cakes are a better fit if you’d prefer larger individual cakes. Compare the number of pieces and the total weight, and check that the pack you choose is available.

How should I store kano cakes at the campsite?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack and protect it from sunlight and moisture. Seal an opened pack securely; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises taking food’s shelf life into account when camping.

Which allergens should I check in kano cakes?

It depends on the recipe of the exact variety. Allergen information for the kano cakes described includes milk, egg, wheat, soya and almonds; always read the label on the pack you buy.

Can I rely on an older product page when making my shopping list?

Check availability and the packaging again just before you buy. Jumbo says its online mini kano cakes are no longer available, and Albert Heijn marks the AH BASIC Kano cakes mentioned as discontinued; check the ingredients and storage instructions on the pack you buy.
