Woolworths Australia Launches a Viral Pistachio Papi Cake
Pistachio lovers, this one’s for you. Woolworths has teamed up with Aussie brand Pistachio Papi once again, and this time the viral pistachio spread has been turned into a cake. The limited-edition Pistachio Papi Cake landed in stores across Australia on 26 October, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the season’s most talked-about supermarket treats.
What’s in the Pistachio Papi Cake?
The new dessert is a layered cake made with fluffy sponge cake and generous layers of rich pistachio spread. It’s topped with cream cheese icing, finished with swirls of whipped cream piping and sprinkled with crushed nuts. The result is a creamy, nutty and indulgent cake that brings the brand’s signature flavour into a whole new format, perfect for birthdays, gatherings or a sweet weekend treat.
Price and Where to Buy
The Pistachio Papi Cake costs $12 and is sold exclusively at Woolworths Supermarkets and Metro stores. It’s a limited-edition release available only while stocks last, so if you’ve got your eye on one, it’s best not to wait too long. You’ll find it in the bakery section.
A First for Pistachio Papi
While Pistachio Papi has launched plenty of products and collaborations over the years, its founder Mark Abdelmalik says this is the first time the brand has offered a cake available to the masses. He described the result as indulgent and packed with pistachio flavour, and said he expects Aussies to snap it up quickly. Woolworths bakery category manager Colin Wise added that customers love viral food trends, and that the cake was developed side by side with the Pistachio Papi team to turn the much-loved flavour into a showstopping dessert.
Not the First Pistachio Papi Treat at Woolies
This isn’t the first time the two brands have joined forces. Shoppers may already have spotted the Pistachio Papi Ooozy Mudcake, a chocolate mud cake with a melting pistachio centre, as well as the Pistachio Papi Cheesecake Gelato in the freezer aisle. The new cake adds a fresh bakery option to the growing lineup of pistachio desserts.
Why Pistachio Is Everywhere Right Now
Pistachio has become one of the biggest dessert trends of the past couple of years, thanks in part to the viral Dubai chocolate craze, which helped put creamy pistachio fillings on menus and shelves around the world. Brands like Pistachio Papi have built devoted followings by tapping into that obsession, and supermarket collaborations like this one make the trend more accessible and affordable for everyday shoppers.
Allergy Note
Since the cake contains pistachios and dairy-based icing, anyone with nut allergies or dairy intolerances should check the label in store before buying. Products like this may also carry warnings for other tree nuts, gluten or eggs.
At just $12, the Woolworths Pistachio Papi Cake is an easy way to get in on the pistachio craze without baking a thing. With its fluffy sponge, rich pistachio layers and creamy topping, it’s a treat fans won’t want to miss, but with limited stock, you’ll need to move fast.
