Lotte Hotel Launches 'White Day Bubble Cake'

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Lotte Hotel will present the ‘White Day Bubble Cake’ from the 11th to the 14th.

According to Lotte Hotel, cake sales increased by 30% compared to the previous year during the Valentine’s Day event period from the 11th to the 14th of last month. New products such as small-sized cakes and cake pops, designed for couples to enjoy together, seem to have contributed to the sales growth. Lotte Hotel expects the demand for cakes to continue during White Day as well.

The ‘White Day Bubble Cake,’ introduced by pastry chef Seongju Na, a gold medalist at the German IKA Culinary Olympics and the first in the industry to use a bubble mold, is a strawberry Ivoire chocolate cake shaped like fluffy clouds. It features a white mousse made by mixing strawberry chocolate and Ivoire white chocolate from ‘Valrhona,’ France’s finest chocolate brand with a 100-year tradition.

Additionally, the ‘LOVE’ chocolate decoration on top of the cake is inspired by the sculpture 'LOVE' by artist Robert Indiana. Pastry chef Seongju Na of Lotte Hotel said, “Using pink, which is preferred by female customers, and the industry’s first bubble mold, this uniquely shaped cake is perfect for uploading on SNS, offering not only great taste but also visual enjoyment.”

Along with this, Lotte Hotel plans to rename and resell four types of cakes that were loved during the four-day Valentine’s Day promotion (White Day Rose, White Day Heart, White Day Sugar Flower, White Day Sugar Craft, etc.) as ‘White,’ together with cake pops and meringue cookies.
