Looks prettier than they tastes Had the Black Sesame Flower Dome and the Caramelia Banana Tart using Chope 1 for 1 voucher. Those who choose the Caramelia Banana Tart for the banana would be disappointed as the caramel was cloyingly sweet and masked the subtle banana flavour. For the Black Sesame Flower Dome, there's a hidden cavity of a tart fruity paste that I couldn't quite place, which doesn't really complement the prominent black sesame flavour.

Renowned for their handcrafted cakes and pastries creations, Tuxedo Café & Patisserie has recently added eight new treats into the menu. The new additions are headlined by the petit gateâu and each of these little cakes features an elaborate layering of flavours and textures, expertly handcrafted by the pastry chefs. These new cakes include the Caramelia Banana Cake ($9.50), Black Forest Cake ($9.50), Red Berries Tart ($9.50), Black Sesame Flower Dome ($9.50), A Taste of Summer ($9.50), Chocolate Raspberry Cake ($9.50), together with new creations such as the Gula Melaka Bread ($9.50) and Banana Pound Cake ($2.50 per slice/$16.80 for whole 700g). The other signature items such as the Key Lime Tart and Hazelnut Chocolate Éclair will continue to be in the menu. Among the new creations, the A Taste of Summer is the ideal refreshing dessert to welcome in the summer season as there are four flavours of mango, passionfruit, pistachio and coconut in a single cake. The layers consist of pistachio sponge cake with mango creamux, coconut mousse and passionfruit caramel cream, decorated with mango passionfruit and coconut jelly, and coconut crisp. Continuing with the tangy trend, the Black Forest Cakes comes with a layer of cherry confit made with Morello cherries and sweet cherries, Red Berries Tart made with three kinds of berries in raspberry, strawberry and cranberry and the Chocolate Raspberry Cake with a core of chocolate cremeux and raspberry jam. ••••••••••••••••••• ✨ Tuxedo Café & Patisserie 📍 76 Bras Basah Road, Carlton Hotel Singapore, Singapore 189558 🌐 https://bit.ly/tuxedocake 🍴 [Media Delivery]
