Velvet Mountain purple tea cake is now available in adorable, convenient, and travel-friendly mini cakes!

  • Their compact size makes them an ideal tea for travel. Plus, you can leave your tea knife at home (a bonus since it’s not allowed on planes).
  • At last, if you're still not sure about treating yourself to a full-sized Velvet Mountain cake (200g), these mini cakes are a great way to try it out first.
