Who are these options for?

Bakers who want to portion treats in advance

If you want to finish each slice of cake or dessert platter with an individual pastry, you can use the stated pack quantity to plan ahead. ALDI lists 14 HEERLIJCK BANKET Mini-kano's in a 308 g pack.

Cake makers looking for ready-made decorations

A kano is a filled pastry that you can serve alongside a cake or use as a finishing touch. Choose the size based on the number of cake slices and how large you want the pastry on each serving to be.

Shoppers who need to check allergens

The kano pastries described here include ingredients such as wheat, milk, egg, soya and almond; the ingredients vary by product. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of your chosen product for each guest.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide how many individual pastries you want to serve, then compare the size, ingredients and nutritional information on the packs you’re considering.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity and portion size Check the number of pieces and the net weight. ALDI lists 14 HEERLIJCK BANKET Mini-kano's in a 308 g pack, averaging 22 g each. If I want to set out a small pastry for every guest or cake slice, I need to be able to count them in advance. Around 38% of consumers prioritise portion planning.
Size as a finishing touch Compare the size of a mini kano with the space available on a cake slice; AH lists a 45 g portion for its regular Roomboter kano's. When adding individual pastry decorations to a cake, I want them to suit the way I plan to serve it. Presentation is the main concern for around 31% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the allergen information and any warnings about possible traces. Compare the nutritional values per 100 g and consider the portion you intend to serve. If I’m hosting guests with specific dietary restrictions, I want to check the packaging of the exact product before serving it. This is the top priority for around 31% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a mini kano automatically makes for a different nutritional choice

    A smaller piece makes it easier to plan how many pastries to serve per person, but it doesn’t change the nutritional values per 100 g of that product.

    Use the number of pieces to plan your portions. Also compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per intended portion; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends using values per 100 g when comparing products.

  • Assuming the smaller size makes it suitable for people with allergies

    Ingredients and warnings about possible traces vary between kano pastries. A mini size tells you nothing about the allergens in the pastry.

    Before serving the pastries to someone with a relevant allergy, read the current ingredients list and allergen information on the specific pack.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s in stock

    Jumbo says its Roomboter Mini Kano's are no longer part of its online range. ALDI’s listing for HEERLIJCK BANKET Mini-kano's is marked OP=OP.

    Check that the pack you want is available before deciding how many pastries to buy for your cake.

  • Using a ready-made kano as a cake filling that can be baked

    The products described are filled pastries. Their product descriptions don’t include instructions for baking them into cake batter.

    Use them as a finishing touch once the cake has cooled, unless the packaging for your product gives different preparation instructions.
