Decided to stop by Butter in Landmark on my way home from Central to get some cakes for dessert after dinner. I grabbed their famous carrot cake (which I’ve had before), and their red velvet cake (which I hadn’t tried yet). The original red velvet cake must have sold out as instead there was a festive red velvet with candy cane version. Looking at the display at looked divine and I just got it. At $90 a slice they are bound to be good 👍 right? Both cakes were delicately packaged for my journe
Both cakes were delicately packaged for my journey home on public transport 😔
First the carrot cake, it was moist, smooth and dense as it should be and it isn’t very sweet like those from my hometown of New Zealand 🇳🇿(adjusted to HK market), because of this, the taste is very subtle. The cream cheese icing is probably the tastiest part of the carrot cake. However, I miss the nutmeg and cinnamon flavors that goes into one.
The Red Velvet cake is a beauty, the layers are immaculate and the body of the cake was moist, smooth and fluffy with a peppermint cream cheese and flakes of crush candy cane sprinkles giving it a crunchy texture. Again I couldn’t taste the layers which should be a mild cocoa taste, maybe it was overpowered by the peppermint cream cheese. I think I gotta go back and try the original version some time.
The verdict is, the carrot cake is the best of the 2 and I was told by the cashier their best seller anyway. I miss carrot cake, as seldom can get it on the Kowloon side where I live, so I’m happy to see it here in HK ☺️ Good effort on presentation and packaging, but I can’t taste the x-factor!
