The Launch of Petite Patisserie – Frozen Mousse Cakes

From the good folks @ The Patisserie, came an invitation to attend the launch of their new brand, Patite Patisserie!

Patite Patisserie is their new range of frozen mousse cakes – now we can have quality desserts as and when we like! Er why you ask? Well, the cakes are all frozen! When you want to eat them, just bring them out to defroze, decorate them yourself with all the yummy toppings you like, and put on the candles!

The event was held at Hotel RE! and was really fun. I met so many bloggers who are as happy with desserts as I am. I’ve never heard of this modern retro-themed hotel before and am glad to have visited it. It’s tucked away discreetly near Outram MRT. The hotel lobby was pretty cool… check out their themed rooms… didn’t get a chance to check it out though but from the website here, it looks so interesting! Their suites have waterbeds!!!!! o.O!!!

Ok sorry, back to the event. When people started to arrive, slices of cakes creatively decorated were served. There were 3 flavours – Strawberry, Chocolate and Mango.

Check out all the yummy decor food items we can put on our cakes!! The ingredients are all top quality! The strawberries and blueberries, for example, were all from Driscoll’s! Very fresh. And the chocolate sauce is none other than HERSHEY’s brand too.

They are afterall the same people from The Patisserie who believe in good quality ingredients. *thumbs up!!*

Clara, Angeline and I were seated together. Angeline was pigging out on the chocolate cake which she found too sweet. Of course la, see all the chocolate sauce on it!!

Clara is really a great person to talk to. She was so sweet to say she’s just warming up at the beginning but I’m glad she warmed up eventually and we shared the strawberry flavoured cake.

It’s odd that I have this in me. To mingle and to chat with strangers. Hmmm, something new to explore.
So after the demonstration by the staff at Patite Patisserie on how to plate like a chef, we were given an entire cake to decorate on our own. How awesome is that!!

And there’s chef #1, me, chef #2, clara, and chef #3, Angeline.

I chose mango cos that’s my favourite flavour. Strawberry’s second and the chocolate’s third. I find the Mango very refreshing and the texture is just right. If no one told me it’s a mousse cake, I wouldn’t have guessed! The texture is not too gooey and there was a lot of mango taste in there. Most importantly, the mango taste did not come off as artificial as some mango cakes can.
I love chocolate but the chocolate cake was a tad too sweet for me.

The strawberry’s another good one! And hey, I don’t even like strawberry cakes!! But this one was great! Because of the strawberry flavour, it had a sour tang to it which makes the whole cake taste refreshing and doesn’t make you feel “jelat”.
They currently have a special offer for $60 for 3 cakes (1 of each flavour) on their website. At that price, I think it’s pretty decent. The usual cakes nowadays at Breadtalk, Four Leaves and such are already all priced $35 and above.

Alright people, here’s my mango cake that I decorated!! :P

Yay! Ready! Look pro a not??? I learnt something new today! I learnt that I can use syrup as “glue” to glue the sticks to the side of the cake! They kept falling off till I was tipped off that I needed “glue” or a ribbon to secure it~ haha

This is a hurried version I did cos there were some leftovers and the Patite Patisserie people were so nice to give the extras out.
I met Yuen and Fen from www.sgdessert.com and Fen is such a sweet girl to talk to. She was seated with a group of friends and I think they had loads of fun with the aprons and chef hats.

At the end of the event, I brought home my mango cake to the BF and I watched him finish half the cake at one go! Omg!
And when he was halfway through the cake, I pointed out that maybe he should stop bcoz it’s already, HALF a cake!
Haha!! He felt guilty immediately after but has since finished it by the next day. I let him try the chocolate one but he liked the mango one better afterall. Yea – I figured, he’s just not a chocolate person.

Good la, cos these cakes, once defrosted cannot be frozen again and is recommended to be finished within 2 days.

All in all, I had a great day at the Patite Patisserie event. I enjoyed meeting some familiar faces and many of the people behind popular blogs are really unpretentious and very nice people.

Yes. Yours truly and my Mango Wonderland. Why why! I cannot have name for my creation meh…. haha
