Ta’ Xmun is a bakery and caterer in Birkirkara, in the middle of Malta, run by a family that has handled pastry, confectionery and party food through four generations. Customers can order online for delivery, buy cakes and pies for the home, or ask the team to cater a celebration.
On VisitMalta.co.uk it appears in the directory of catering companies in Malta. Its website is organised like a shop as much as a catering menu, so it works well for visitors and residents who want a cake or a tray of pies without arranging a full event.
A family bakery with a long history
The family story begins with Xmun Borg, who started a business in the 1930s in the Manderaggio district of Valletta, making pastizzi and other confectionery. After the Second World War he returned to the Manderaggio and later moved to Strada San Marco, where he worked alongside his sons, before taking larger premises in Republic Street. By then the business was known for big catering events, with two or three weddings a week. Anyone exploring the capital can read more in our Valletta guide.
His son Carmelo inherited the craft, and Carmelo’s eldest son Ronald grew up surrounded by pastries and ice cream. After years working with his father and a decade specialising in ice cream, Ronald restarted the family business from scratch in 2010, naming it in honour of his grandfather. Its website banner reads baking since 1928.
The guiding idea since the restart is simple: use good ingredients, make everything with care and go a little further than expected on service. Demand for the products has kept growing, and the recipes and traditions that had been held back for decades are now back on the counter, which is why a visit to the shop feels more like buying from a family than from a factory.
Cakes, pies and sweet things
The online shop is organised by occasion and product. Gateaux such as Black Forest and vanilla cost €25.00 each, while cheesecakes in Kinder, lemon, Oreo and strawberry flavours cost €27.00. Slab cakes in marble, vanilla and fruit cost €4.45, and a base cupcake costs €0.95, with options for buttercream, a printed image and packaging at small extra charges.
Savoury baking is a speciality too. The pie range includes chicken and mushroom, steak and onion, meat, ricotta, tuna and spinach and lampuki pies, along with timpana, a baked pasta dish that is a Maltese favourite. Muffins come in flavours such as banoffee, Bacio, raspberry, Oreo and peanut and toffee. Seasonal ranges for Halloween, Pink October and Movember, and a create-your-cake option with printing on the cake, round out the list. A visitor planning a stay can see our things to do in Malta and hotels in Malta pages when deciding where a delivery should go.
Party menus, kids menus and events
For gatherings, Ta’ Xmun offers party menus, kids menus and extra add-ons, plus an afternoon tea service and an events section where you can enquire about catering. Delivery is available within its published delivery zones.
This suits birthdays, family celebrations and office occasions. If you are weighing up a bigger event, directory listings such as 242.group, an event planner in Malta can complement the catering. Overseas guests arriving for a celebration may find our where to stay in Malta page, the Malta holidays overview and the about Malta guide helpful.
Planning an order
Check the delivery zones before you choose a date, and allow time for custom designs. The weather can affect cake choices in summer, which our Malta weather guide covers by month.
