【La Forêt-Noire】

Black forest is always my favourite cake because of cherries and chocolate.

At Maxim's, they have launched a luxury version of the black forest cake called 【La Forêt-Noire】.


There are two sizes, the big one which weighs 1lb ($218) and a smaller one ($128).
*** Please note that the cherries on top may be replaced with other berries due to seasonal availability.***

To match the black forest cake, they have a specially designed box for it.

The cake is covered in thin chocolate pieces and garnished with a layer of cream and fresh cherries on top.



The cake contains French chocolate with a layer of Bavarois cream in the middle, and cherries soaked in wine.


There were layers of delicious chocolate cake in between.

It was such a delicious cake with all these layers with juicy alcoholic cherries, cream and Bavarois cream which tasted a bit like custard.

If the cake is too much for your sweet tooth, there is also a dessert version.

Refreshing yoghurt cakes

I must say I am impressed with these new yoghurt cakes. (British spelling : yoghurt).


There are two flavours:
Passionfruit and mango

Mixed berry

Each cake comes with fruit syrup which you pour on top.

I was lucky to try both flavours because my friend wanted to try the mango one and I wanted to try the berry one.
Again, it depends on your preference which one your likely going to like.
For me, I preferred the berry one.

It is recommended that you pour the sauces on top of the cake, remove the film and let it drizzle over the side.

We did just that for the mango because my friend loves mango.


Inside this cake, there was fresh mango, soft cake with mango and passionfruit mousse on the outside.
The flavours in this cake was strong and refreshing with tones of sweet mango and passionfruit.

Then we tried the Berry yoghurt cake which I thought was the best.









I loved the pure white colour of the yoghurt mousse.
The soft cake and light yoghurt mousse were just delicious enhanced by the berry sauce.
In the middle, there were more berries to give it flavour.


To summarize, these cakes are fun and delicious because you can decide how much sauce to put on it.

Bombard your dad with this cake bomb!~!

Maxim's have come up with this really fun cake for Father's day!!

A cake shaped like a BOMB!!!!!

The gimmick sounds cheesy but he's your BEST POP.

It's no ordinary cake because you have to diffuse it as instructed on the flyer.

The cake has several layers, chocolate mousse, French almond popping candy paste, chocolate cake, strawberries covered in thick chocolate cream.

How to diffuse the bomb!!
1) Slice it through the centre horizontally.

2) Slice the upper half of the cake into required portions and feel the blast when you remove the fuse!

3) Use a spoon to indulge the bottom half of the rich chocolate cake.

Upper half of the cake:

Feel the fizz when you eat the cake with popping candy.
I found it rather rich but the popping candy helped to balance that.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bottom half of the cake:


I liked the bottom half of the cake because there was quite a fair bit of chocolate cake and lots of strawberries.
However the chocolate mousse was a bit too heavy especially when there was a solid chocolate bottom casing.

Mother's Day cake range by Maxim's

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!!!



Maxim's have launched a good choice of cakes for the big day.
My favourite is the Diamond Box which is a strawberry cake with a beautiful box and a white chocolate shaped diamond on top with flowers beside it.




The next on the list in terms of taste and appearance is the Flower Cake and the Sunflower Black forest.



I like the flower on the cross section when you slice the Flower Cake and the Black forest is always a popular flavour.



Then there is the sweet Macaron Tower or the Flower rainbow cake to choose from.



For mango lovers, there is the Sunflower mango crispy or the Rose blossom for rose lovers.




If all those choices were not enough, there are also two more fruity and summery cakes for energetic mums:







For down to earth mums, there are Chiffon cakes and for mums with green fingers they will love the Tiramisu Garden!!



It appears that Maxim's was a popular choice for the Mothers day cake.

Diamond box:
Thanks to Maxim's PR for sending me a redemption card for the Diamond box.


Basically there was a strawberry chocolate base that was part of the bottom half of the pillow, in the middle it was soft cake with fresh strawberry slices and strawberry mousse.


The mousse was light complemented by the strawberry slices.
On top of the cake, it was decorated with a pretty jewellery box containing a diamond made from white chocolate.
