About us

Over a decade, crafting flavour to a different standard.

Papa began in a home kitchen on Shariati Street in 2015, with one domestic oven and birthday cakes for the neighbours.

Who we are

For more than a decade, Papa Cake has been proud to work with event caterers across Tehran, public and private hospitals, clinics, the Tehran and Karaj branches of Islamic Azad University, the University of Tehran, Sharif University of Technology, Payame Noor University, and many private institutions and companies, restaurants and cafés across Tehran and Alborz provinces — always working to bring a little sweetness to people’s lives.

With the same hard work, we hope to carry this path forward — stronger, smoother and better than before — together with you, our friends and customers.

Why it takes so long

A layer cake takes thirty-six hours. The batter has to rest, the syrup has to settle, the cream has to stay cold. None of it can be hurried; hurry it and you get the cake that is already everywhere.

That is why we take orders two days ahead, and why some days the counter empties early.

“If I have to choose between selling more and keeping this quality, I choose the second one.”

Samira, founder

Where the ingredients come from

Pistachio from Qaenat, rosewater from Kashan, saffron from Qaen. The chocolate comes from a single importer and it is always the same Valrhona 70%, not whatever was cheapest that month.

Cream arrives every morning. What does not arrive today is not baked today.

How many of us there are

Five. One person builds each cake from start to finish — there is no production line. If a cake reaches you with something wrong, we know exactly who made it and what happened.
