Vive Cake Boutique Welcomes Mother’s Day with Artisan Cakes

Highlighting a Special Collaboration with Luxury Skincare Brand Sabon

In celebration of Mother’s Day, celebrity-loved Vive Cake Boutique welcomes the special day with an exclusive collaboration with Israel's premium Body Care brand Sabon, to create a special cake to join two whimsical cakes true to Founder Vivien Lau’s aesthetic creation.

 VIVIEN LAU THE FOUNDER OWNER

“Mother’s Day is one of the most important occasions for my team and I to honour and celebrate,” shares Ms Vivien Lau, Founder of Vive Cake Boutique. “Inspired by the strength, patience, grace, and beauty of women all around the world, we have created a line of exquisite treats to be gifted and shared with mothers all over Hong Kong.”

Inspired by Sabon’s Green Rose collection, ‘Supermom’ (HK$680, 1lb), the cake is tiered cake dressed with a green and pink buttercream frosting signifying appreciation of the beloved mothers and elegance of women. 

A bouquet of roses and daisies sit atop the cake, further fine tuning its perfection. Apart from its stunning aesthetic, this delicious cake is heaven-sent for chocolate lovers as it is made with chocolate sponge cake with chocolate mousse and raspberry agar. 

Customers who purchase this cake will get a free Sabon Signature Green Rose Silky Body Milk sample and an invitation to join the Soap Delicatessen workshop to DIY your own soap at a discounted price of HK$600 for 2 people (originally HK$800). 

Those who complete the workshop will receive an additional HK$50 shopping discount upon a HK$300 purchase.

Let the special woman in one’s life know there is no one like her with the all-new ‘Mother Like No Other’ (HK$880, 1lb), a multi-tiered pastel pink cake, adorned with flower-shaped marzipan and edible gold leafs. 

The cake topped with a bouquet of fresh eustoma, Kenya roses and lilies, on which the message ‘mother like no other’ float, in golden letters. 

Coming in three flavour favourites, including  vanilla sponge cake with white chocolate mousse, passion fruit mousse, and passion fruit jam; chocolate sponge cake, chocolate mousse, and raspberry agar; and red velvet butter cake with cream cheese, this cake is sure to satisfy the special women in one’s life.

For those who would like to thank their mothers for all the wonderful things they have done for them, but don’t quite know how to say it, VIVE’s ‘Voted Best Mom’ (HK$580, 1lb; HK$400, 0.5lbs) shares the message for you. 

The vanilla sponge cake with white chocolate mousse, passion fruit mousse, and passion fruit jam, gets a new look with lavender cream, a colour which signifies love and trust.

The special Mother’s Day cakes are available from 29 April to 31 May. To capture the convivial occasion of appreciation and sharing, a special promotional period will be introduced from 29 April to 5 May, where guests are invited to enjoy a special limited time offer of a 20% discount, applicable in both Central and Harbour City pop-up stores. Orders must be placed three days in advance.

Vive Cake Boutique has proved a roaring success story since being launched with online orders in 2014 by founder and creative director Vivien Lau, who discovered her passion and talent by chance, making her first cake for a friend’s birthday.

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.

VIVE’s widespread acclaim includes Time Out’s listing among the “crème de la crème of Hong Kong’s bespoke dessert makers” – with a massive celebrity and socialite following including Aaron Kwok, Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung, Niki Chow, Sharon Chan, Miki Yeung, Ella Koon, Myolie Wu and more.

About Vive Cake Boutique and Founder Vivien Lau

Vive Cake Boutique was founded by Vivien Lau, a self-taught cake designer with a Biomedical Sciences degree, in 2014 as an online enterprise creating cakes for private customers who “like something a little different”. 

The eponymous brand has since proved a roaring success story, launching first as a ‘pop up’ at The Pulse in 2015 and subsequently expanding into two cake boutiques with trademark ‘pink’ and sleek marble décor in two trendy locations, Lee Tung Street in Wan Chai (2016) and H Queen, Central’s latest lifestyle hub (2017). 

A new pop-up at Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui has opened in 2019 as an extension of the brand’s international platform.

From the beginning, Vivien Lau has stood by her motto: “The only way to create great things is to love what you create.”

The artisan cake boutique’s signature handmade cakes, cupcakes, confectioneries, cookies and tailor-made cakes for weddings and special occasions are all made freshly from scratch from finest ingredients sourced from all over the world.  

Her edible works of art are intricate and elegant, playful and feminine, beautiful and delicious, yet unconventional and original.

Vive Cake Boutique has attracted widespread acclaim, ranked among the “crème de la crème of Hong Kong’s bespoke dessert makers” by Time Out, with a large celebrity and socialite following including Aaron Kwok, Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung, Niki Chow, Sharon Chan, Miki Yeung and more.
