Where to buy the best Easter cakes in Barcelona
Easter in Catalonia has a distinctive flavour: that of chocolate, butter and the excitement in the eyes of the little ones. Every year, godparents uphold one of the most beautiful and deeply-rooted traditions of our culture: giving Easter cakes. But have you ever wondered where this sweet custom comes from?
If you’re looking to buy Easter cakes in Barcelona this year that blend a rich history with the latest creative trends, at Pastisseria Baixas we’re opening the doors to our bakery to present our 2026 collection.
A tribute to the Year of Gaudí: The exclusive Mona Trencadís
In 2026, Barcelona is pulling out all the stops to celebrate Gaudí Year, and at Pastisseria Baixas we wanted to pay our own sweet tribute to the genius of Modernism. Just as Catalan master pastry chefs revolutionised tradition at the start of the 20th century by transforming sweet bread into chocolate figures, this year we are taking it a step further by blending architecture and pastry-making.
The jewel in our crown this season is the spectacular Mona Trencadís. Inspired by the iconic mosaics of Park Güell and the architecture of the Sagrada Familia, this creation is a true work of art in which chocolates of different types and colours are meticulously assembled by hand to recreate the famous Modernist style.

Are you curious to find out how a chocolate masterpiece is created? In the following video, we’ll take you behind the scenes in our bakery to show you, step by step, the mesmerising artisanal process we use to bring the Mona Trencadís to life.
When is the Easter cake given as a gift?
Tradition dictates that the Easter Mona is given as a gift on Easter Monday, the day that marks the end of Holy Week and brings whole families together around the table in Catalonia. It is the day when godparents present their godchildren with their gifts. At Pastisseria Baixas, we recommend placing your order at least 48 hours in advance to ensure your Mona arrives on time, in perfect condition and ready to surprise.
The Baixas philosophy: artisanal quality in every detail
Making Easter cakes in our workshop is a ritual. There are no shortcuts. We use the highest quality chocolates, tempered with precision to achieve that perfect shine and that unmistakable crunch when you bite into them. Every piece in our 2026 collection has been moulded, assembled and decorated by hand by our artisans. Because we know you’re not just buying a sweet treat; you’re buying a childhood memory.
A work of art for every godchild: new additions for 2026
This year, we wanted to let imagination take the lead. Our catalogue is designed to inspire passion:
- For those who live and breathe sport: from nods to women’s football with the spectacular ‘Barça Copa Noies’, to the classic ‘Barça Bota’ or the ‘Pilota de Bàsquet i Bamba’. Victory has never tasted so sweet.
- For those who love games and fun: this year we’re showcasing some interactive and surprising creations. La Mona Oca is perfect for an afternoon of family games, whilst the Guardiola Dino hides a fun secret.
- The charm of nature: animals are always the stars of Easter. From the endearing Giraffe and Tortoise to our classic Rooster.
- Little architects: for the most curious children, our European chocolate houses (German House and Dutch House) offer a direct journey to the heart of Europe without ever leaving the dining room.
