Every year, godparents uphold one of the most beautiful and deeply-rooted traditions of our culture:<strong> giving Easter cakes<\/strong>. But have you ever wondered where this sweet custom comes from?  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking to buy <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/new.baixas.es\/en\/easter-in-baixas\/\">Easter cakes in Barcelona<\/a><\/strong> this year that blend a rich history with the latest creative trends, at Pastisseria Baixas we\u2019re opening the doors to our bakery to present our 2026 collection.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A tribute to the Year of Gaud\u00ed: The exclusive Mona Trencad\u00eds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2026, Barcelona is pulling out all the stops to celebrate Gaud\u00ed 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. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jewel in our crown this season is the spectacular <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/new.baixas.es\/pasqua-a-baixas\/mona-de-pasqua-ou-trencadis-blanc\/\">Mona Trencad\u00eds<\/a><\/strong>. Inspired by the iconic mosaics of Park G\u00fcell 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. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you curious to find out how a chocolate masterpiece is created?<\/strong> In the following video, we\u2019ll take you behind the scenes in our bakery to show you, step by step, the mesmerising artisanal process we use to bring the Mona Trencad\u00eds to life.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Monas de Pascua en Barcelona 2026: Colecci\u00f3n Pastisseria Baixas\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EPENyD_7fWw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When is the Easter cake given as a gift?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tradition dictates that the Easter Mona is given as a gift on <strong>Easter Monday<\/strong>, 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 <strong>Pastisseria Baixas<\/strong>, we recommend <strong>placing your order at least 48 hours in advance<\/strong> to ensure your Mona arrives on time, in perfect condition and ready to surprise.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Baixas philosophy: artisanal quality in every detail <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making <strong>Easter cakes<\/strong> 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 <strong>2026 collection<\/strong> has been moulded, assembled and decorated by hand by our artisans. Because we know you\u2019re not just buying a sweet treat; <strong>you\u2019re buying a childhood memory.<\/strong>    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A work of art for every godchild: new additions for 2026 <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, we wanted to let imagination take the lead.
