Mini Panettone and Smaller Cakes For Christmas

'I love Panettone, but I couldn't eat a whole one!'

The festive season in Italy is inextricably linked with the aroma of freshly sliced panettone. Yet, as much as we adore this towering, buttery staple of the Italian Christmas table, a full 1kg dome isn't always what the occasion calls for.

Whether you are looking for an individual festive treat, a sweet stocking filler, or a smaller cake for a cozy gathering, Carluccio's selection of mini panettone and half-sized bakes ensures nobody misses out on authentic Italian holiday traditions.

Petite Treats: Our 80g Panettoncini

Baking an authentic mini panettone—or panettoncino—requires the exact same patience, artisan skill, and time-honoured natural leavening as our traditional 1kg domes. Slowly fermented from Lievito Madre starter dough, these individual 80g treats capture all the airy softness of classic Italian baking in a perfectly personal size.

• Panettoncino Milano (80g): The ultimate classic in a single-serve dome. Baked using our traditional Milanese recipe, this mini bake is generously studded with sweet sultanas and fragrant candied citrus peel.

• Panettoncino con Gocce di Cioccolato (80g): A modern favourite for chocolate lovers. This rich little bake swaps traditional fruit for a generous scatter of fine milk and dark chocolate drops folded throughout the soft, golden dough.

Part of Our 2026 Panettone Range

These delightful smaller bakes proudly take their place alongside our wider 2026 panettone range. Curated by our master bakers, our seasonal collection highlights time-honoured methods, artisan ingredients, and unforgettable regional flavours—offering the perfect festive centrepiece for every size of celebration.

Mid-Sized Classics: The 500g Bakes

If you are hosting a smaller gathering or simply want to enjoy freshly sliced panettone without committing to a full 1kg cake, our 500g mid-sized options offer the ideal solution. At half the size of a standard panettone, they deliver all the heritage and flavour in a convenient format.

• Panettone Milano (500g): Crafted according to traditional Milanese standards, this half-sized cake features our signature light, buttery crumb studded with plump sultanas and candied orange peel. It is the perfect size for sharing over coffee across a festive weekend.

• Panettone Senza Glutine (500g): Gluten-free celebrations never mean compromising on tradition or texture. Also crafted in a convenient 500g size, this soft, aromatic bake is filled with candied orange peel and sultanas, ensuring everyone at the table can enjoy an authentic slice of Italian Christmas.

How to Enjoy Your Mini & Mid-Sized Bakes

• Stocking Fillers & Table Favours: Our 80g panettoncini make charming, delicious additions to Christmas stockings or beautiful place settings for holiday dinner parties.
