Buttermere Rounds Up Globes, Circles, and Baubles This Holiday Season

'Tis the season to listen to holiday melodies, decorate the place, and gather with family and friends again. Synonymous with celebrations and gatherings is feasting and sharing laughter, and no feast is complete without dessert. This holiday season is no different. Buttermere Patisserie has your cute and aesthetic holiday treats perfected including a limited edition snow globe cake as the star of the cake line up, their signature mini set, and Christmas print cookies. 

Jamie Tung, owner and head baker at Buttermere Patisserie, always aims to produce fun, whimsical creations that are not only pleasing to the eye but also adventurous yet complimenting in flavour. This year, after hours of research and refinement, the main feature of their Christmas cake line up is a limited edition snow globe cake. This 5-inch iconic symbol of winter merriment is made with Alunga soft biscuit, black currant jelly, coconut cremeux, coconut mousse, finished with a gingerbread man enclosed in a clear, sugar dome. At $50 each, the snow globe cake is only available in limited quantities. 

The Navidad Crown is an 8-inch wreath cake assembled with red velvet sponge, passion fruit caramel, pineapple ganache, and a London fog poppy seed mousse inspired by a family tradition honoured by its mastermind. Every November, the family gets together to build a wreath of their own to hang at home, symbolizing the beginning of the holiday season, family, and togetherness. This unique and unexpected cake is priced at $75 and remarkable in flavour profile. 

Joyeux Noel is a 7-inch chocolate hazelnut madeleine layered with apricot gelee, caramel crunch, and caramel mousse. Styled after vintage style baubles and lace, the cake is finished with fluffy cotton buttercream pipping art and miniature pine cones. Hand painted with love, the Joyeux Noel is also priced at $75. 

For those looking for smaller treats to satisfy various taste buds and preferences, Buttermere’s Christmas mini set comes in four complete with the Santa, a coffee biscuit with espresso panna cotta, chocolate cream, and coffee Bailey mousse; the Polar Bear, an Alunga soft biscuit with strawberry jelly and peppermint mousse; Jingle Jingle, a hazelnut chocolate brownie with a lemongrass banana centre, hazelnut glaze, and chocolate ganache; and the Christmas Tree, a pistachio crunchy with vanilla sponge, cherry jelly, vanilla mousse, and pistachio ganache.
