THE FESTIVE SEASON JUST GOT TASTIER WITH OUR LIMITED-EDITION CHRISTMAS CAKE, ‘FIRST SNOW’

To celebrate the festive season, we’ve rolled out a limited-edition Christmas cake, ‘First Snow’. For the first time in years, we’ve unveiled a modern take on the traditional Christmas cake, a refreshing and light dessert to finish off your Christmas feasting.

Dialling up the flavour factor, our Christmas cake comprises layers of elderflower cream, a drizzle of white chocolate atop each layer of milk sponge, a vein of Griottine and cherry compote, made from kirsch marinated morello cherries and a crunchy base, made from roasted wafer. To finish, it’s dusted with white chocolate to replicate forest snow and garnished with hand-carved chocolate and pine flavoured pinecones with cherry essence, fondant snowflakes, fresh local cherries, and white chocolate ice shards delicately placed atop the cake.

The result is a feast for the senses, reminiscent of a winter wonderland. The combination of elderflower and chocolate produce a fresh and floral taste, the perfect complement to the aromas from the alcohol-soaked cherries.

“I was inspired by a winter wonderland, a white Christmas and creating a full flavoured cake, a true representation of all the festive flavours. Friendship is central to Black Star Pastry; the celebration of friendship and the festive season is all about spending time with loved ones. We’re thrilled to be adding some Christmas joy to the holidays this year.”

Arnaud Vodounou, Head Pastry Chef at Black Star Pastry.
