Shangri-La Christmas cake orders
The Shangri-La Hotel in Tokyo will start accepting preorders for Christmas cakes from Nov. 1.
Taking great care over the ingredients and decorations, the hotel's executive pastry chef, Naoya Okamura, has prepared three kinds of special cake for this holiday season.
The white chocolate mousse cake (¥4,000/14-cm diameter; ¥5,500/18-cm diameter) contains a layer of tropical fruits jelly, creating a sweet and sour taste. The red buche de Noel (¥3,800) offers a gentle texture with a rich dark chocolate flavor. The strawberry shortcake (¥3,500/12-cm diameter; ¥5,000/15-cm diameter) is made with dairy cream from Hokkaido and fresh strawberries. Prices include tax.
