It looks too pretty to eat, but one bite is all it takes to finish the cake down to the last slice. Hidden beneath the cheery pink icing—topped with baby macarons, marshmallows and coral sponge—is a delicious cream concocted with rose petal mousse, rose finger sponge, yuzu cream, lychee and raspberry jelly.
