Vive Cake Boutique Presents First Collaboration with

Sanrio’s Little Twin Stars

Unveiling “Wishing Upon a Star” collection

featuring a decadent and whimsical tea set and cake collection for all ages

This summer, celebrity-loved Vive Cake Boutique launches its third collaboration with world renowned Sanrio to unveil “Wishing Upon a Star” – an enchanting new collection featuring Little Twin Stars.  

Celebrating Little Twin Stars’ 45th Anniversary, the brand new collection embraces a decadent afternoon tea set, and dreamy cake creations, from today to 11 October 2020.

 



Little Twin Stars, which tells the story of Kiki, a blue haired twin who loves ‘star-fishing’, inventing things and who has a never-ending amount of curiosity, and his twin sister, the pink-haired timid Lala, who loves to draw and cook, has been a favourite of children and adults for over forty years.

 

“Our team at VIVE is excited about The Little Twin Stars collection, our third partnership with Sanrio,” shares Ms Vivien Lau. “It is a dream to work with such an iconic brand and be creative with the whimsical world of the stars, bringing joy and sweetness to foodies in the city.”

VIVE adds an enchanting and memorable twist to the traditional afternoon tea with a Little Twin Stars themed set that is a feast for the eyes and a treat for the palate.  Presented in a four-tier cake stand adorned with the signature sweet smiles of Kiki and Lala, sitting on a crescent moon, are a mixture of savoury and sweet delights.


The set features Asian-inspired savoury snacks, including Avocado and Vegetables Rice Roll and Rainbow Noodle with Yuzu Dressing, both of which incorporate the dazzling colours of Little Twin Stars.  

Traditionally loved and enjoyed Raisin Scones with Clotted Cream and Jam with decorative mini star and rainbow and Fresh Strawberry Sweet Roll with Strawberry Jam made in pastel blue and pink, with an edible Little Twin Stars artwork begins the sweet journey.

 

A pair of Little Twin Stars Éclair, topped with a pastel blue and pink buttercream frosting and blue and pink flowers are a delight for the eyes. While a show-stopping Raspberry Ruby Chocolate Meringue Tart dazzles with a star topper.

 

The “Wishing Upon a Star” mini-cake, a White Chocolate Mousse Cake with Blackcurrant Cassis Compote, is the showpiece of the afternoon tea experience.  The whimsical yet delicate creation features the lovable characters, Lala and Kiki playing on the cloud with white glazing sugar and white chocolate mousse.  This signature mini cake can also be enjoyed as a single order for HK$58.

 

The tea-set is complemented with tea or coffee, available from Thursday to Sunday & Public Holidays, 2:00pm to 6:30pm, at VIVE located at H Queen’s; priced HK$270 for one or HK$498 for two (subject to 10% service charge).

 

For guests looking to indulge in VIVE’s signature dreamy creations in a special celebration, Wishing Upon a Star (1lb, HK$780) is the perfect crowd pleaser for all ages.  Showcasing VIVE’s renowned buttercream cake embracing dreamy pastel colours of the rainbow with edible ‘stardust’ pearls, the cake is adorned with Kiki and Lala; and the Brand’s handcrafted ‘shooting star’ homemade cookies.  

 

This irresistible cake comes in seven of VIVE’s signature flavours, including Red Velvet Buttercake with Cream Cheese, Earl Grey Cake with Earl Grey Cream Cheese, Banana Cake with Chocolate Buttercream and Crunchies, Hazelnut Cake with Hazelnut Buttercream with Chopped Hazelnut, Vanilla Sponge Cake with Mango and Yuzu Mousse, Rich Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache, and Pistachio Cake with Pistachio Buttercream and Chopped Pistachio.

 

Enhancing diners’ experience and immersion into the Little Twin Stars universe, VIVE has graced its interior with lulling pink, blue and lavender pastels; ‘clouds’ that serve as background for the dream playground of Kiki and Lala to ‘float’ playfully on.

 

From today, customers who place orders of whole cakes can enjoy complimentary delivery from VIVE (excluding outlying islands). To experience this bespoke service, VIVE encourages orders be placed at least 4 days ahead, to ensure timely delivery.

Her signature ‘handmade with love’ cupcakes, macarons, cookies, confectioneries and tailor-made cakes for weddings and special occasions, are all made from scratch with less sugar and finest ingredients sourced from all over the world.
