Celebrity-loved Vive Cake Boutique is hopping into Easter with cutielicious Easter Bunnies and adorable Easter Chicks from 1-30 April at its Central flagship café-store in H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central and latest pop-up store in Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui.
Founder Vivien Lau’s new Insta-worthy dessert sensations are headlined by the most enchanting Easter Bunnie cake in town – ‘Bunny Luvs You’ – a showstopper which is an Easter dessert and table decoration all in one.
Priced HK$680 for 1lb, this darling creation for the festive holiday is available in an assortment of flavours to suit all tastes: Pistachio Cake with Pistachio Buttercream, Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Fillings, Earl Grey Cake with Earl Grey Cream, Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Cream and Crunchies, Lemon Cake with Lemon Buttercream filled with Yuzu Curd, Green Tea Cake with Green Tea Buttercream, Banana Cake with Chocolate Buttercream, and Hazelnut Cake with Hazelnut Buttercream.
Two of the sweetest little treats imaginable are also on the endearing Easter menu. Baby Chick Macacreams (HK$68, available only at Central cafe-store) is confectionary queen Vivien Lau’s charming festive adaptation of her beloved melt-in-your-mouth macarons – styled after chicks hatching from Easter eggs and flavoured with yuzu ice-cream.
Available at both stores, ‘Easter Meringues’ (HK$55) are the sweetest of treats styled in carrot and chick shapes especially for Easter Bunnies – adapted from a new line of meringues launched with the recent opening of Vive Cake Boutique’s Harbour City pop-up.
Vive Cake Boutique has proved a roaring success story since being launched with online orders in 2014 by founder and creative director Vivien Lau, who discovered her passion and talent by chance, making her first cake for a friend’s birthday.
Her signature ‘handmade with love’, cupcakes, macarons, cookies, confectioneries and tailor-made cakes for weddings and special occasions, are all made from scratch with less sugar and finest ingredients sourced from all over the world.
VIVE’s widespread acclaim includes Time Out’s listing among the “crème de la crème of Hong Kong’s bespoke dessert makers” – with a massive celebrity and socialite following including Aaron Kwok, Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung, Niki Chow, Sharon Chan, Miki Yeung, Ella Koon, Myolie Wu and more.
