Before it became the Frozen Larna Cake you can grab from a vending machine, we were a small cake shop that started with a family recipe.
Our soft-fudge chocolate cake recipe came from the mother of one of Larna House's founders.
She first sold it at a coffee shop while still in university.
It's a recipe from my husband's mother.

As popular as the soft-fudge chocolate cake was, it couldn't travel far.
"Even as a well-known, long-running shop, we still couldn't distribute far because of the short shelf life."
This very innovation let us start welcoming distributors both in Thailand and abroad.
