Collection of delectable signature cakes to celebrate 25 years
Keeping in line with their 25th Anniversary celebration Hilton
Colombo is introducing three tantalizing signature cakes - each of which
have been carefully created with the culinary expertise of Hilton
Colombo's very own Pastry Chefs.
Lotus Bloom cake |
Passionate |
The first signature cake, the 'Lotus Bloom Cake' goes hand in hand
with Hilton Colombo's traditional beginnings. At its inception the
hotel's logo was a lotus flower and this was the inspiration behind its
creation said Chef K A Sujanthi. I wanted to draw inspiration from our
national flower the 'Nil Manel' with its royal purple and from the 'Blue
energy' theme which depicts Hilton Worldwide.
The cake is layered with blue berries, whipped cream and cream cheese
making it taste decedent and very pleasing to the eye.
The second cake 'Passionate' designed especially by Pastry Chef M M
Dissanayake, is a tangy passion fruit cake.
This moist enchanting cake uses passion fruit to bring out the unique
flavour of Sri Lanka. Adding to its distinctiveness the cake is designed
as a Vesak lantern to show off our culture.
Made from only the best Italian meringue, passion fruit puree,
vanilla sponge, whipped cream and white chocolate this self-indulgent
cake is a treat.
The final cake is created by Pastry Chef S G S Somarathna, this
extravagant cake which is also dedicated to Hilton Colombo's anniversary
celebration is hazelnut flavoured with specs of crispy nougat. Chef
Somarathna's objective was to keep away from tradition.
The cake which is the ultimate 'Chocolate Fantasy' blends in the
taste of chocolate butter cake, rich dark chocolate and white chocolate
with the textures of hazelnut and nougat with every bite.
"This is a very special occasion and the launch of our very own
signature cakes adds to the celebrations for our 25th anniversary. Our
chefs have made a cautious effort to infuse some local elements in to
the cakes and as always some decadent flavours.
"At the Hilton Colombo we strive to provide the best hospitality and
hope our guests are able to indulge in the three uniquely different
cakes we have on offer," Hilton Colombo General Manager Rudolf Tröstler
said. |
