Description
Bold, elegant and full of meaning, our Year of the Horse Cake is a celebration of Lunar New Year through both flavour and design. Inspired by the Horse’s symbolism of confidence, perseverance and prosperity, this cake is crafted to be a true statement piece for festive gatherings and family celebrations.
The exterior immediately captures attention with a luminous red mirror glaze, a colour traditionally associated with good fortune, joy and new beginnings. Subtle gold detailing flows across the surface, adding a sense of movement and refinement, while the sculptural chocolate décor — featuring the horse motif — completes the design with a nod to tradition and modern artistry.
Beneath the striking finish lies a carefully layered composition that balances freshness, texture and indulgence. The cake is encased in a smooth white chocolate and vanilla mousse, light yet luxurious, providing a creamy canvas for the vibrant flavours within. At its centre, layers of mango and passionfruit jelly introduce a bright tropical acidity, cutting through the sweetness and adding a refreshing lift with every bite. These fruit notes are paired with a coconut crunch layer, delivering a gentle nuttiness and contrast in texture that elevates the overall experience.
The base of the cake is a soft chiffon sponge, chosen for its airy structure and delicate crumb. It grounds the dessert without heaviness, ensuring each slice remains balanced and elegant from top to bottom. Together, the components create a harmonious progression of flavours — creamy, fruity and lightly tropical — designed to appeal to a wide range of palates.
Perfect as a centrepiece for Lunar New Year celebrations, this cake is ideal for sharing with family and friends, gifting to loved ones, or marking the occasion with something truly special. Its refined flavour profile makes it just as suitable after a banquet-style meal as it is alongside tea or coffee during festive visits.
Made in limited quantities to honour the season, the Year of the Horse Cake reflects Brunetti Classico’s commitment to craftsmanship, storytelling and celebration through pastry. Whether you’re welcoming the year ahead or continuing a Lunar New Year tradition, this cake offers a meaningful and memorable way to celebrate.
