Artisanal chocolate cakes at Shangri-La
View(s):Shangri-La Colombo has officially lifted the cloche on its newest culinary temptations: a thoughtfully curated collection of artisanal chocolate cakes, launched at an exclusive cake tasting ceremony held last week. Available to guests and cake enthusiasts starting June 1, 2025, the range will be sold at the hotel’s Sapphyr Lounge and through the Shangri-La eBoutique, making it effortless to bring home a slice of refined indulgence.
Taking centre stage is the Pettah Tea Mousse Cake, the hotel’s signature creation and a heartfelt tribute to Colombo’s iconic Yaara tea. Drawing inspiration from the lively lanes of Pettah, this refined dessert brings together the warmth of Dimbula tea—Sri Lanka’s most celebrated high-grown brew—with fragrant cardamom and sweet condensed milk, echoing the rich character of street-side tea culture. With an almond sponge base, molten crémeux centre, and mousse light as mist, the Pettah Tea Mousse Cake is not only layered in flavour, but steeped in meaning.
This signature cake is also a proud expression of Shangri-La’s global Rooted in Nature programme—a culinary initiative that celebrates sustainable dining through the use of locally and ethically sourced ingredients. Rooted in Nature aims to support regional communities and highlight the natural bounty of each destination. Through carefully selected local produce, the Pettah Tea Mousse Cake becomes more than dessert—it becomes a story of provenance, purpose, and place.
