■ This Unique Cake Features a Strawberry Roll Cake, a Plain Roll Cake, and a Matcha Roll Cake All Joined Together!
Based on the concept of "Girls' Day sweets that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike," this unique and beautifully decorated cake features a strawberry roll cake, a plain roll cake, and a matcha roll cake joined together. The delicatessen's patissier insists on adding honey to both the sponge cake and the fresh cream, resulting in a cake that's both moist and fluffy. The honey gives the cream a natural aroma and a subtle sweetness, creating a truly refined cake.
■ Cakes Based on the Emperor and Empress Dolls and the Diamond-Shaped Hishimochi Rice Cake Are Also Joining the Menu!
Make Girls' Day even more colorful this year with a range of adorable cakes! Modeled on the emperor and empress dolls from the Girls' Day doll set, these cakes feature Turkish delight for a wonderfully soft texture that's especially popular with children. This collaboration between Eastern and Western confectionery is sure to delight adults, too. There's also a sponge cake inspired by the diamond-shaped hishimochi rice cakes that are a popular Girls' Day treat. This playful and fun cake features a pistachio sponge cake with chocolate polka dots.
