Starting October 29th, Conrad Osaka will begin accepting reservations for two types of Christmas cakes, "Christmas Gift" and "Ribbon Buche de Noël," as well as takeout boxes of single-serving cakes, "Exotic Gift" and "Conrad Ornament," and the Christmas version of its popular afternoon tea, "Strawberry Gift Collection Afternoon Tea."
Christmas Cake
For Christmas 2021, Conrad Osaka's Executive Pastry Chef Jimmy Boulay will present the following two types of Christmas cakes, which evoke the excitement of giving gifts and the joy of opening them. The first is the stylish "Christmas Gift" cake, inspired by a gift box. This chef's masterpiece features 15 layers inside. Enjoy the complex layers of flavors, including gently sweet chocolate mousse, rich coffee cream made with the rare coffee bean "Kopi Luwak," banana vanilla compote, banana caramel, salted dark chocolate crispy biscuits, and cocoa sponge. The beautiful cross-section revealed when cut into pieces and the soft aroma of ginger will add color to your Christmas time with your loved ones. The second is the "Ribbon Buche de Noel," made with beautifully wavy hazelnut cream to resemble a ribbon wrapped around a gift. The glossy hazelnut mousse is surrounded by layers of caramel cream, pear vanilla compote, and almond sponge. The rich sweetness of hazelnuts is combined with the refreshing freshness of pear, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth cake. Enjoy the different textures of the soft mousse and the crispy hazelnut biscuit at the bottom. (6,000 yen each, tax included)
