About the Koupen-chan Cut-Out Baumkuchen
The cut-out baumkuchen is a unique treat where a layer of white pound cake made with egg whites is added atop a fluffy, flat baumkuchen. The surface is printed with character illustrations and kind messages, then cut along the outlines, allowing you to carefully remove the surrounding cake and enjoy shaping the cute figures. This playful design is a signature of Katanukiya’s craftsmanship, combining taste and fun.
