Rochard Cake with Cake Birthday Limoges Box

Rochard calls this one Cake with Cake, and the name says it all: a cake shaped porcelain box paired with a second little cake as its accent. It is hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France, and it brings a party to any table.

Double the Frosting

One cake is a celebration; two cakes is a party that has gotten a little out of hand, which is part of the fun. This playful pairing belongs to the birthday side of the Rochard range, and it captures the best moment of any party, just before the candles are lit and the singing starts.

Party Shelf Partners

• A Rochard Cake with Cake design
• Shaped and decorated by hand in the Limoges studio
• Fits birthday, baking and dessert collections

Candles Not Included

Give it for a milestone birthday such as a fortieth or a sixtieth, to a baker who just opened a shop, or to the friend who always brings dessert. It also works as a sweet thank you for a party planner or a cake decorator. On a kitchen shelf, a breakfast nook or a dessert buffet it stays fresh long after the real cake is gone.

An 18th-Century Idea

Small porcelain boxes first became fashionable in 18th-century France, and the playful shapes of today grew from that old tradition.
