A bar mitzvah dessert table is one of the most photographed parts of the celebration — and one of the easiest ways to make the room feel festive. At Rivka Cakes, every cake and dessert is made fresh, kosher pareve, and certified by Community Kashrus of Greater Philadelphia (Keystone-K), so the table works for any kosher simcha without compromise.
Here's how to think about building yours.
Start with one signature cake
Every dessert table needs a centerpiece — something that looks impressive and gives guests a "real cake" experience. For a bar mitzvah, a rich option like our Sportak Creamy Chocolate Cake works well: it's bold, photographs beautifully, and cuts into clean slices for a larger guest list.
Make it personal with a Torah Scroll Cake
A favorite for the guest of honor: a stunning Torah Scroll Cake designed especially for bar mitzvah celebrations. The center of the cake features our signature Sportak Cake, with delicate honey layers and rich cream filling, while handcrafted vanilla sponge cake rolls filled with fresh strawberry cream sit on each side — creating the iconic open Torah scroll appearance. Finished with elegant buttercream details and "Mazel Tov" piped on with the bar mitzvah's name and age, this cake becomes a memorable centerpiece for your special event.

Kosher pareve, every time
Every item on the menu is 100% pareve — no dairy and no meat — and made under Keystone-K supervision using Kemach Yoshon flour. That means the dessert table can be served comfortably whether your mitzvah meal is meat or dairy.
When to order
For a bar mitzvah, reach out 1-2 weeks ahead so Rivka can plan the full table with you, confirm quantities, and agree on a pickup time at CBS Synagogue, 198 Tomlinson Rd, Philadelphia PA 19116.
