Sydney-based dessert experts Black Star Pastry have teamed up with QT Hotels & Resorts to debut two Valentine’s Day treats.
Dubbed The Ghost and The Love Bomb, the two cakes are priced at $18 each and will be available from 14 February until 14 March at QT locations across Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand.
Black Star’s Head Pastry Chef Arnaud Vodounou worked closely with QT Gold Coast Head Pastry Chef Daniel King to develop the desserts. “The key for both Arnaud and I when creating the cakes was for it to feel like a true collaboration of brands and flavours,” says King.
“The V-Day cakes play on the subtle nods of flair we are known for at QT along with our use of premium ingredients, whilst creatively spinning a signature Black Star Pastry masterpiece to do things a little bit differently.”
The Love Bomb is made up of a chocolate financier with chocolate cremeux and chocolate sponge, which is covered in chocolate mousse ganache and topped with red streusel and raspberry chocolate shards.
The Ghost offers dessert fans a delicate balance of vanilla and coconut and comprises a sponge cake with vanilla mousse and a strawberry and raspberry compote. The cake is topped with a chocolate truffle covered in a ghost-like milk-coconut sheet.
The desserts are available at all QT signature dining restaurants and on the room service menu. The collaboration will also allow global diners to try Black Star’s creations.” We can’t wait for Australians across the country and our international friends in New Zealand and Singapore to experience our indulgent and delicious creations, many for the very first time,” says Vodounou.
