The Christmas version of our kitchen is not a new menu — it’s the same one that keeps 6–8 cakes on the counter, baked fresh twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. One difference in December: you don’t leave it to chance. Whole cakes are made to order — ring +386 69 926 772 or write to tavcikuhna@gmail.com, and tell us the flavour, the size and the day. A single slice (6.30 €, including the vegan Bled Cream Cake) stays a counter decision; a whole cake needs a few days’ head start. The demand is real and measured: the till recorded 1,237 cake slices in the ten weeks from 30 August to 30 October 2026 — and December is when that counter is busiest. Collection is at Alpska cesta 43c in Lesce, 4 km from Bled; the counter is open Monday to Sunday 11:00–20:00, closed Tuesdays; a whole-cake box costs 6.00 €. For the full counter menu and prices, our Vegan Lake Bled guide has the whole picture.
What you take right away — and what you order
The counter sells slices and pastries on the spot; whole cakes are ordered in advance. Because the counter is stocked from the twice-weekly bakes — Tuesday’s bake covers Wednesday to Friday, Friday’s covers Saturday to Monday, releasing cakes gradually through the day — slices are a “while they last” decision, and a whole cake is a conversation with the kitchen. A whole cake keeps for one to two weeks.
Ready at the counter (while they last):
- Slice of cake 6.30 € — the vegan Bled Cream Cake is one of the varieties; the dessert offer changes day to day, and not everything is always available
- Cupcake 4.70 € · choco hedgehog 3.50 € · scoop of ice cream 3.00 €
To order (in advance):
- Whole cake — to your taste and size; a whole-cake box costs 6.00 €
- Anything else for the Christmas table — brunch, takeaway extras — ask when you call; the kitchen will tell you honestly what it can do
The order deadline — honestly (in December, “honestly” means “now”)
In December the deadline is the real product. The honest version, not the ad line: all of tomorrow’s counter is baked on schedule — but a whole cake must get its own day in the oven, and December is when the oven fills up first. With the holidays on top of the regular counter, the useful deadline is counted in days, not hours, and the earlier you call, the more flavours you can choose from. There’s no overnight baking beyond what we’ve promised — if a date is too close, we’ll say so plainly rather than bake a cake nobody announced. So the rule is simple: earlier beats later. Call, and agree on the day.

FAQ — quick answers
Are all the cakes 100% vegan?
Yes — the entire menu: no dairy or egg ingredients in the kitchen, including the Bled Cream Cake, which we sell by the slice at 6.30 €.
Do you have a gluten-free Christmas cake?
The GF and GFO labels apply at our counter too, but whole cakes go a different route: a gluten-free whole cake is arranged directly with the kitchen, because we bake it to order, not on stock.
How far in advance should I order?
We bake whole cakes to order, so each one needs its own day in the oven. In December we bake ahead for the holidays as well — call as early as you can, and we’ll agree on the exact date together.
What if I have to cancel my order?
We start baking only after your order is confirmed and assemble the cake for your chosen day — so a cancellation makes sense as early as possible, not the day before pickup.
Does the same ordering apply for New Year’s Eve?
Yes — the rules are the same: whole cakes ordered in advance, through the same channels. Holiday hours can change, so check before you come; ordering ahead is the safer route either way.
