Sweets, Treats & Gifts from the Mandarin Cake Shop in Hong Kong

The Best of Mandarin Cake Shop in the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong

The Mandarin Cake Shop located on the mezzanine level of the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong offers locals, guest, and visitors the most premium selection of bakery products and more.

Today’s Mandarin Cake Shop

The Mandarin Cake Shop has been a Hong Kong tradition since the 1970s. Today, the products are created by Chef Yves Matthey and his team. Chef Matthey received 2017’s Pastry Chef of the Year award from the World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence.

At the cake shop, you can dine in, take away, and buy high-quality gifts for loved ones and colleagues. Choose from their premium selection of cakes, chocolates, bread, and pastries. It is also worth stopping by the shop to see the ever-changing display of cake sculptures.

 

Seasonal Specialties

Aside from the staple assortment of cakes, chocolates, and pastries, the Cake Shop offers seasonal specialties featuring both local and international treats. In January, there is the French King Cake. For Chinese New Year, there are assorted flavors of nian gao. For the Mid-Autumn festival, feast on mooncakes. And, for the holiday months, there are massive gift box meals featuring traditional roast turkeys and hams.

King Cake. It is not just that the Cake Shop offers seasonal specialties; it is more so that the Cake Shop creates exceptionally high-quality and premium products that stand out and are far tastier than other shops around Hong Kong

 

Best of the Mandarin Cake Shop

The Mandarin Cake Shop offers such an extensive menu of cakes, pastries, and more. After years of trying quite a number of products and take home boxes of personal favorites, here are the best of the Mandarin Cake Shop:

◦ XO Sauce

◦ Croissant

◦ Pain au Chocolate

◦ Muffins – Chocolate & Blueberry

◦ Scones – Plain and Raisin

◦ Portuguese Egg Tarts

Taking home a dozen scones. The best part about the pastries listed above is that they are freezable. You can buy boxes, bring them home (even on the airplane as a hand carry bag), freeze them, thaw, bake to reheat, and enjoy them for a few months
