Summer is good because of vibrant colours and refreshing food.
On this visit, tried the new summer range.

Passiflora :
This was beautifully layered with bright orange meringue contrasted with a ruby red jelly on top which is made from blood orange.

Dolci's cakes are all about layering, the bottom layer is blood orange meringue, then a layer of thin white chocolate, passionfruit cream with passionfruit cake in the middle, then blood orange meringue, a layer of white chocolate and orange bloody jelly on top.
The taste of this was really fresh because the passionfruit cream was acidic balanced by the sweet white chocolate layer and the citrus tones from the meringue.

Millefogile :

This was layers of flakey pastry with dreamy vanilla cream in the middle that was not too sweet paired with fresh berries on top.

Daisy:

At first, I thought it was going to be a coffee or chocolate cake by its appearance.
The name of the cake Daisy was nice and elegant and shaped like a flower.


It had bergamot jelly in the middle which gave it a touch of citrus.
Tea lovers will love this cake because of the bergamot and strong tasting Earl grey mousse with soft cake in the middle.
The Earl grey mousse was balanced perfectly because it was light and silky as well as having a natrual fragrant taste.
This is a definite must try because it is different to other Earl grey cakes and the Earl grey taste really comes through.

For moon festival, Dolci has launched custard mooncakes.
They come in a box of six or a box of four with Jasmine tea.
Custard mooncake:
The custard mooncake held together after it was heated up and sliced.

As well as keeping its shape, the taste was amazing, it is not cloyingly sweet or too buttery.
So far this is my favourite custard mooncake.

Jasmine tea:

The tea was surprisingly good because the Jasmine was strong and you can see that they do not use brittle tealeaves in the teabag.

Coming back soon for the cake and tea.
