The hype is real: Flavours can be as adventurous and innovative. To satisfy your cravings, 11 types of new cakes have hit the shelves at Café Kai, Hilton Colombo.
Each of these baked treats has not only distinct ingredients, but a method all its own. Many innovative, artistically-driven chefs have come together to bring their discerning guests a range of cakes not only visually appealing but the taste and flavours are delicious and seductive.
The new range consists of the ‘24 Layer & Gold Cake,’ each layer sandwiched with smooth chocolate filling, praline crunch and semi-sweet French chocolate ganache, sprinkled with gold dust on top making it a grand gift for that extra special someone.
The bright red cake ‘Awesome Red’ is made with chocolate, vanilla and almond cake layers sandwiched with butter cream and icing, meringue crunch, caramelised nuts and caramel sauce, covered with red chocolate valours and a chocolate flower on top.
With shades of blue icing outside and coloured inside, the ‘Blue Sky’ cake is made with layers of sticky nutty, ribbon butter chocolate fudge cake with praline rice crispy crunch and nougat garnished with white chocolate shaves.
The ‘Chocolate Espresso’ is a mix of coffee, chocolate and ribbon cake with espresso butter cream and icing, cookie crunch covered with yellow butter icing and decorated with fudge cake cubes and caramel sauce.
For coffee lovers, this would be an absolute treat! ‘Ice Charlie’ consists layers of coffee cake with espresso butter cream and caramelised cashew covered with espresso cream and garnish on top.
The dramatic and unusual cube cake named ‘Il Cubo’ is made with a Noisette praline chocolate cake layer with chocolate butter cream, caramel and praline crunch covered with chocolate valours.
Like the lyrics of the song ‘Lady In Red’ reminds you of the beauty and elegance of the lady in red, so does this beautiful elegant cake made with layers of red velvet with soft butter cream, strawberry compote and nougat in-between and covered around with sheets of white chocolate and curls on top.
A more vibrantly coloured, fruity flavoured bake named ‘Lemon & Blueberry,’ layers of butter cake sandwiched with butter icing, cream and blueberry filling with a layer of lemon, caramelised cashew covered with pink and violet butter cream garnished with colourful tinted white chocolate feathers. ‘Ombre Cake’ is a combination trio of white, dark and milk chocolate covered with the gradual shades of chocolate colour.
