Sprinkililous by Yefepere is not your regular 3-layer sponge cake, it’s an intentional creation made for people who want more than sugar and sprinkles. It’s the perfect 8 x 6 inches blend of fluffy sponge, whipped buttercream, and chocolate drips that feels fun and comforting in equal measure.

It's the kind of cake you can gift, share, or just sit quietly with on a Friday night and think, “I deserve this.”, but to really appreciate what Sprinkililous brings to cakes in Abuja, you have to understand the story of what it’s made of, particularly, buttercream.

How It All Started…

Before buttercream ever reached the shelves of cake shops in Abuja Nigeria, its story started with a problem, “Sugar was beautiful, but too brittle.”

In the 1700s and early 1800s, European bakers, especially in France, Germany, and Austria, were experimenting with more artistic desserts. The elite were obsessed with beautifully decorated cakes, but the dominant frostings at the time were either boiled sugar glazes (which hardened) or royal icing (which dried stiff like chalk).

These frostings looked stunning, but they weren’t exactly enjoyable to eat. What people needed was something that:

  • Was soft and smooth, unlike royal icing.
  • Could hold its shape for decoration.
  • Tasted good and felt rich on the tongue.
  • Didn’t crack or melt immediately under warm conditions.

That’s where the first versions of buttercream emerged.

Doing Buttercream The French & German Style!

Historians believe the French were among the first to create “crème au beurre”—a light mix of whipped butter, sugar, and sometimes egg yolks or meringue. Around the same time, German and Swiss bakers were making similar versions, using their own regional techniques.

Some made it with meringue (egg whites + sugar) for stability. Others added custard or milk to make it smoother. But the core idea remained the same:

“Let’s make cake not just look elegant, but feel like luxury when you eat it.”

This was revolutionary at the time, and it worked. Buttercream became a staple in royal kitchens, then trickled down to bakeries and households across Europe. And eventually, across the world.

As baking techniques travelled from Europe to America, and then around the globe, buttercream took on different forms:

  • American buttercream: Simple and sweet (just butter + powdered sugar + milk/vanilla).
  • Swiss and Italian buttercream: Made with meringue—light, less sweet, and more stable.
  • German buttercream: Made with pudding (crème pâtissière)—super creamy.
  • French buttercream: Richest of all, made with egg yolks and butter.

Today, what we call "buttercream" in most cake shops in Abuja is typically an American-style buttercream, known for being fluffy, pipeable, and easy to flavor or color and exactly what Sprinkililous uses.

And with Abuja’s warm weather, the buttercream at Yefepere is gently adjusted to hold its shape while staying soft enough to melt smoothly on your tongue.

So when you order cake in Abuja, especially from a brand like Yefepere, you’re not just buying flour and sugar. You’re buying into a legacy that dates back hundreds of years.

Sprinkililous is a nod to that history:

  • The 3 sponge layers echo the European tradition of layered torte cakes.
  • The buttercream reflects centuries of refinement and comfort.
  • The chocolate drips and sprinkles bring it into a modern Nigerian lifestyle, fun, youthful, and camera-ready.
  • And the size? An 8 x 6 inch cake that feeds 8 –12 people isn’t accidental. It fits our reality here in Abuja, small celebrations, tight fridges, and beautiful cakes that don’t overwhelm the moment.
