Intro: Created by Bonnie Gokson who is famous for her ‘Marie Antoinette's Crave and the Original Caramel Crunch Cake ' at SEVVA
Ordered: Better than sex, Madame Butterfly & CheesecakeTaste: Madame Butterfly- is an exotic and intense blend of beetroot, pistachio and chocolate layered chiffon with apricot compote and fresh cream crowned with dark and white chocolate.
The appearance of this cake was colourful. Made of three layers of cake in different colour and taste. It attracted me straight away. The colour matched perfectly. With top layer being dark red then second layer a lime green then bottom layer is chocolate brown. The cake is on a piece of cake base as I call which has white & black lines. On top of the cake was a piece of chocolate in a shape of a ring with also black and white lines that matches the base!I liked the whole design of the cake, round with different layer and the use of the colours.
Each layer is a different unique taste. The second layer has this lemony limeish taste. But the taste is not strong. You could hardly taste the unique taste. The bottom layer is chocolate taste which is also faint which is good, as three layers are faint in taste, they put together as ONE good cake. But it isn't as boring as just one boring chocolate cake.
The cake is moist but not over moist or rich. What I loved about this cake is, it isn"t too sweet like nearly all the cakes you can get in Hong Kong are like. So sweet you can not taste the cake itself. The taste of freshly baked cake, the egg the flour etc. But the cakes here you could taste the cake itself. The cake is soft, light and very spongey. But not spongey as in a sponge cake, it still has the density of a cake. With the appearance i couldnt wait to dig in. And it surely didn't disappoint me!
The only thing i did not like about the cake was the apricot filling in the cake. Firstly i did not like the filling as it was bit too sweet and it did not match the cake. Although i can understand why there would be the filling as without the filling the cake would be very boring. Maybe they could have chosen a different filling, maybe strawberry or respberry?
Better than sex- i loved this name!!! So was it really better than sex? Hmmmmm... Was hard to say! But it was definately better than any chocolate cake! The appearance was not as classy or as thoughtful as Madame butterfly. Maybe the whole cake was brown so you cant't see the details or as complex as Madame Butterfly.
The cake is chocolate cake with caramel crunchy parts on top with hard chocolate bits on top. Their is a red lips in candy on top. Makes the cake really sexy. Inside the cake is a thin layer of caramel inside. It might all sound very sweet but the cake was not sweet at all. The cake itself was light and taste very 'cake' with faint chocolate flavour. I had a spoonful of cake with some crunchy caramel bits with it which adds to the texture. Crunchy and spongey. The crunchy bits was quite sweet but there is only few small pieces so it was not overly sweet and it actually balance out with the unsweet spongey cake.
The cake was not mind blowing, and i am not too sure about its name, but this is definately a hit than a miss. I loved the whole concept. How chocolate is better than sex. How the chocolate cake isnt VERY sweet to be a good chocolate cake. How they used crunchy caramel pieces wuth the cake. The red lips was alluring but, was just sugar, nothing special.
Cheesecake- i did not taste much of it. but a short conclusion of it, It wasnt as good as the two cakes before. it had a coconut feeling to it which was strange. Coconuta nd cheese? dont go... hmmmm...
conclusion: Ms b's cakery is very mind blowing. even teh names are so attractive. not only the cakes are pretty as all cakes needs to be pretty these days, but you can see the thoughts that have been put into it. the layers of different taste and color matching of one cake.. how much efforts and thoughts needed to make a cake, I cant even imagine. Although the cakes are much more expensive than otehr cake shops around. But it is well worth it. Her light fluffly chiffon cake, with egg fragrant. i love it. it is not too sweet although the appearance is so decieving.i love it very much espcially madam butterfly. i cant wait to try more of their cakes, although there are limited single small cakes they have and DONT FORGET, the minimum you need to buy in a box is THREE!!!!! So that is 150hkd already.
I loved their cake design, but i loved their whole concept design.
If in the cake industry you have designer, this designer must be Vivienne Westwood in the cake industry. The cakes are modern, outstanding, its way beyond petite little modern cakes these days. it is colorful, quirky with interesting names. The packaging is extroidinary. i feel proud holding the bag with the box.
Black and white stripe with musturd green and red. What a choice of color, the compelling colors. The box is absolutly gorgeous, and the cake board underneath the cakes are black and white strips which is so quirky. i love it.
i cant wait to go back for me.Unbeatable. I think it is way better than the cakes in SEVVA
