Insect Peanut Cake 300g by National Trust

The National Trust Insect Peanut Cake Square, also known as a suet block, is made to a unique recipe. Developed in collaboration with resident ornithologists, each cake provides a concentrated source of energy, combining high-quality animal and vegetable fats with nutritious peanut flour and added dried insects to help support garden birds throughout the year.

This insect-enriched variety offers an extra protein boost, making it especially appealing to insect-feeding species. Its rich, soft texture allows birds to feed easily, which is particularly beneficial during colder months or when natural food sources are scarce.

Versatile and easy to use, the Peanut Cake Square can be placed in a suitable feeder, set out on a bird table, or chopped into smaller pieces and scattered on the ground to cater for more cautious visitors.

Birds that enjoy this feed:

• Blue Tits
• Great Tits
• Coal Tits
• Long-tailed Tits
• Blackcaps
• Robins
• Dunnocks
• Starlings
• Great Spotted Woodpeckers
• Chaffinches
• Wrens

Where to site:

Offer the peanut cake in a quiet area of the garden where birds feel safe to feed. If using a feeder or bird table, place it away from dense cover where predators may hide. Ground feeding should be done sparingly and in different spots to reduce crowding.

Care & hygiene:

If using a feeder or bird table, clean regularly with warm water and a wildlife-friendly disinfectant. Remove any uneaten or weather-damaged food and allow surfaces to dry fully before replacing the cake.
