Using only the finest ingredients, LOLA’s bakers mix, bake and decorate every single cake by hand, giving their customers a fresh, fun, delicious and truly wholesome experience. And now you can try their wonderful handcrafted bakes at home. There are more than 70 mouth-watering recipes for everything from the LOLA classic flavours to deliciously original ideas like Cosmopolitan, Chocolate Chilli, Maple Syrup and Rose Pistachio.

LOLA’s cakes are created by Asher Budwig and his team of highly creative bakers. He is a fourth-generation baker, born into a family of sweet-toothed entrepreneurs and inspired by his family’s enduring passion for cake. Asher grew up watching his father Mario Budwig establish and run the hugely successful Millie’s Cookies chain, which grew to over 100 stores across the UK. Mario in turn was inspired by his mother and grandmother, who ran a patisserie and cafe from the 1940s in Colombia, South America.
