Honey Cake in Phuket
Thin Honey Layers. Soft Cream. A Caramel Note. Delivered to Hotels, Villas & Homes Across Phuket.
Medovik in Phuket, Layer After Thin Layer
Medovik is the layered honey cake many families grew up with.
Medovik is the honey cake of Russian and Ukrainian home baking, and the one many families still ask for on a birthday. Ours is made of thin honey layers soaked in cream, so the slice is soft all the way through, with a gentle caramel note from the honey. It is not a sponge with honey on top; the flavor sits inside every layer.
For guests who grew up with it, a honey cake tastes like home, which is why it is often ordered by families spending the winter in Phuket, by friends who want to surprise someone far from home, and for a birthday at the villa when the grandparents are visiting. For guests trying it for the first time, it is a calm, not-too-sweet choice next to chocolate and fruit cakes.
The classic look is a golden crumb coat on the sides and top. If the cake is for a celebration, it can be finished with fresh berries, a wreath of strawberries and blueberries or a plaque with a name, as in the photos above. Send us a reference photo on WhatsApp if you have a particular style in mind, and we’ll send design examples back.
Tell us the date, the delivery address and how many people will have a slice, and we’ll suggest a size, from a Small bento to a Two-Tier cake for a big party. Names and short messages can be written in any language, including Russian and Thai.
Tip: Keep the honey cake in the fridge and take it out a little before serving, so the cream softens and the honey flavor comes through.
How to Serve a Honey Cake Well
A medovik is simple to enjoy, but a few small things make the first slice better.
-
Choose Classic or Celebration
Decide first whether the cake is for an everyday treat or for the main moment of a party. A classic crumb-coated honey cake suits tea with friends, a family dinner or a gift for someone who misses it. For a birthday, the same cake with fresh berries and a plaque with a name looks festive in photos without hiding the honey layers that make it special.
-
Let It Rest Before Cutting
Honey cake is at its best when the cream has fully soaked into the layers, so the slices are soft rather than dry. Keep it in the fridge until shortly before serving, out of the sun on a terrace or by the pool. A short rest at room temperature before cutting lets the cream soften and brings out the caramel note of the honey.
-
Cut Thin, Clean Slices
Because the cake is made of many thin layers, it is easier to cut with a long, sharp knife wiped clean between slices. Mention the number of guests when you order, and we’ll suggest a size so that everyone gets a slice and nothing is left to go to waste.
-
Mix It With Other Flavors
At a party with many guests, not everyone knows medovik. A good plan is a honey cake for those who love it and a second, smaller cake in a familiar flavor such as chocolate or strawberry for the rest. Two cakes side by side also look generous on the table and give children and adults an easy choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a honey cake, or medovik?
It is a layered cake from Russian and Ukrainian home baking. Thin honey layers are soaked in cream, which makes the cake soft and tender, with a gentle caramel note from the honey. It is less sweet and lighter in taste than many chocolate cakes, which makes it a good fit for family celebrations and tea with friends.
Is a honey cake the same as a Napoleon cake?
No. Under a crumb coat they look alike, but a honey cake is soft all the way through, while a Napoleon is made of flaky pastry and custard. We make both; the Napoleon Cake page linked from this page describes the other one.
Can a honey cake be a birthday cake?
Yes. The classic crumb-coated honey cake can be finished with fresh berries, a plaque with a name or a short message, as in the photos on this page. Send us the exact text on WhatsApp and a reference photo if you have one, and we’ll send design examples before we start.
Can you write on it in Russian?
Yes. We write names and short messages in any language, including Russian and Thai. Please send the text on WhatsApp exactly as it should appear on the cake, so the spelling is right. Short messages fit best on a plaque or on top of the cake.
Can I order a honey cake as a gift for someone in Phuket?
Yes. A honey cake is a warm gift for someone who misses the taste of home. Message us from anywhere, send the address in Phuket and the phone number of a person who will be there, and tell us if it should be a surprise, so the courier calls only the contact you name.
What size honey cake should I choose?
Honey cake comes in all our sizes, from a Small bento to a Two-Tier cake, and the size chart on this page shows how many people each one serves. Tell us how many people will have a slice; for a big party, ask about a second cake in another flavor for guests who don’t know medovik.
How long does it take to prepare a cake?
Most cakes are ready within 1–3 business days, depending on the complexity of the design and the chosen filling. If you need a cake urgently, message us on WhatsApp — rush orders are often possible, and we'll tell you honestly what we can do in time.
How does cake delivery work?
We deliver cakes to your address at a time that suits you. Every cake is carefully packed to keep its shape and freshness, and always travels by car. Delivery is available throughout Phuket. Delivery usually starts from 200 THB; the exact fee depends on the address and is confirmed before you pay. Self-pickup is also possible.
