Strangely, I’m not hating it, but I’m not racing for seconds
add_circle Pros
- Only 60 RUB, so it’s a real value‑for‑money snack.
- Compact 70 g size slides easily into a bag or lunchbox.
- Cardboard box with a clear window keeps the cake protected and looks nice on the shelf.
- Flavor offers a subtle coffee‑cream taste that reminds you of tiramisu without being overpowering.
- Soft, moist texture stays pleasant even after a day at room temperature.
- Shelf life lasts several weeks when stored in a cool, dry place.
- No artificial colors – just a clean, simple ingredient list.
remove_circle Cons
- The crumb is a bit grainy compared with the smoother texture of premium tiramisu biscuits.
- Sweetness is muted, so those who like a strong sugary punch might be left wanting more.
- Portion size is small; you’ll finish it quickly or need a second piece to feel satisfied.
- Packaging cardboard feels thin; it can get crushed if stacked under heavier items.
- No clear allergen warning on the front of the box, which can be inconvenient for people with sensitivities.
- Flavor isn’t as rich as the New Brands “Tiramisu” biscuit‑cake, so it’s more of a decent stand‑in than a full replacement.

Editor's Summary
I tried the Prokhorova Confectionery Noble Bird Classic after my last tiramisu biscuit‑cake left me wanting more. This 70‑gram treat comes in a little windowed box that stays intact and looks cute. The flavor is a gentle coffee‑cream vibe that nods to tiramisu without trying to copy it exactly. At 60 RUB it’s easy on the wallet, but the crumb is a bit grainy and the portion is tiny, so it won’t satisfy a serious sweet tooth. Bottom line: solid value for money, just not a game‑changing dessert.
Specifications
After I gave the biscuit‑cake from OOO “New Brands” named Tiramisu a try, I started hunting for something similar. The aisle didn’t have many choices, so I ended up picking the Prokhorova Confectionery Noble Bird Classic

The calorie count is on the high side, but that’s normal for a dessert of this type. Lots of carbs and a decent amount of fat – nothing shocking. I wouldn’t make it a daily habit, but an occasional treat is fine.
Now, onto the part that matters most – the taste. Honestly, I was let down. The cake isn’t outright bad, but it feels flat. Even with all that sugar, it comes across as bland, and I’m not a fan of overly sweet stuff, yet this one just didn’t have any punch. The flavor wasn’t bright, the aroma was almost non‑existent, and it gave me a weird, crunchy feeling on the teeth that I couldn’t quite place.
The size is a bit of a paradox. It’s too big to be a single‑serve snack, yet too small to comfortably split with a friend. If it had been more flavorful, I probably would have polished it off without thinking, but I found myself stopping halfway because it just didn’t satisfy.
Bottom line: I probably won’t be buying this again. The taste didn’t wow me, and the whole experience left me in that weird spot where I’m not eager to spit it out, but I’m also not racing to take the next bite. So, I can’t really recommend it.
