Over 20 Years in the Making

From a Family Recipe to a Cake That Freezes for a Year

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.

Larna House — the beginning
The Beginning

The Dish That Always Ran Out First

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.

Where the Name Comes From

Why We're Called Larna House

"Lana Cake" is the real name of this soft-fudge chocolate cake, originally from Singapore.

Most people know what tiramisu is.

Our Philosophy

Don't Do a Lot. Just Do One Thing Well.

From day one, we chose to focus only on soft-fudge chocolate cake.

People ask why we don't make many kinds of cake.

Our Promise

We eat the same cake we sell our family.

Down to the Roots

From Cacao User to Thai Cacao Advocate

After 20-plus years of making chocolate cake with imported chocolate, Napatsorn discovered Thailand had actually been growing cacao for decades.

On his return, they founded Yellow Chocolate.

We wanted to help Thai chocolate production grow in the right direction.

Today, that intention has grown into Cacao Everywhere.

The Problem Was the Opportunity

From a 10-Day Cake to a 1-Year Freezing Breakthrough

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."

Napatsorn Poncharoen · Founder, Larna House

This very innovation let us start welcoming distributors both in Thailand and abroad.

By 2026, Frozen Larna Cake is export-ready to Singapore, Malaysia, and the UAE.
