There’s nothing quite like a cake to top off a celebration, and in Hong Kong, we’re spoilt for choice.
Whether you’re searching for crowd-pleasing classics for a birthday, or looking for something stunning (and equally delicious) to honour an anniversary, or perhaps you’re sending congratulations through gluten-free goodies, there is seriously something for everybody.
And since we’re celebrating, why not opt for the most decadent, beautifully artisan and thoroughly indulgent cake? Yes, we couldn’t agree more. So here it is, a list of our favourite cakeries in Hong Kong to celebrate in style, slice after slice.
At the Rosewood’s Butterfly Patisserie, resident pastry chef Holger Deh is baking up a variety of sweet treats to delight the city. These range from individual desserts and confections to whole cakes that offer inspired creations to celebrate with. Think Asian-inspired jasmine tea, grapefruit and mango entremet, rose champagne raspberry choux, and probably one of the best traditional black forest gateaus we’ve had the pleasure of tasting this side of the world.
