Un Sogno

Description

This winter, embrace a dreamlike indulgence with our limited-edition Un Sogno celebration cake – a masterful balance of delicate flavours and elegant textures designed to bring a sense of warmth and delight to the colder months. Un Sogno, meaning “a dream” in Italian, captures the essence of a frosted morning walk through citrus groves and berry-laced forests, with every element of this cake carefully crafted to awaken the senses and leave a lasting impression.

At the heart of Un Sogno lies a smooth and airy blueberry mousse, infused with the vibrant sweetness of ripe blueberries. The mousse is light yet deeply flavoured, offering a refreshing tartness that balances the richness of the other components. Hidden within this velvety layer is a centre of blueberry jam, thick and intensely fruity, bursting with real berry texture and colour. The jam adds depth and a touch of indulgent surprise, making every slice as satisfying as it is beautiful.

Beneath the mousse sits a zesty yuzu curd, adding a striking citrus brightness that lifts the entire dessert. Yuzu, a prized East Asian citrus fruit, brings a unique and aromatic acidity – more complex than lemon, with subtle floral and mandarin-like notes. This curd introduces a layer of sophistication, cutting through the sweetness with its bold tang and pairing effortlessly with the berry elements above.

The cake is anchored by a delicate yet flavourful lemon madeleine sponge, which provides a soft, buttery base with just the right amount of citrus zing. The sponge is moist and springy, offering a gentle texture contrast while harmonising with the fresh, fruit-forward profile of the cake.

To finish, Un Sogno rests on a base of white chocolate crunchy, adding a textural dimension that is both crisp and creamy. This layer offers a delightful crunch – light and delicate, never overpowering – with the subtle sweetness of white chocolate playing beautifully against the brighter notes above. It creates a perfect balance: a celebration of contrast in every bite, from soft to crunchy, sweet to tart, mellow to vibrant.

Visually, Un Sogno is as enchanting as its name suggests. Finished with a stunning purple mirror glaze that reflects the winter season and adorned with considered white chocolate decorations, it evokes the image of a snow-dusted orchard under a twilight sky. Whether served at a winter dinner party, gifted for a special occasion, or enjoyed simply as a treat to brighten a grey afternoon, this cake is designed to be both a conversation starter and a showstopper.

Available for a limited time only, the Un Sogno Winter Celebration Cake is handcrafted with premium ingredients by our team of dedicated pastry chefs. Like all of our celebration cakes, it is available in-store and online, ready to bring a moment of joy and indulgence to your table this season.

Let Un Sogno transport you – just for a moment – into a dream of flavour, texture, and winter magic.
