once upon a time, there were two whimsical sisters named colette and lola that embodied contrast personalities from one and another. there’s only one thing that ties their bond, and that is their fondness toward cakes. colette is a fan of sweet flavor; meanwhile lola tends to favor the neutral ones with added variations. colette pays great attention to textures, and lola prefers those with pleasing presentations. however, these differences only made them complement each other perfectly.
so there goes a brief ‘tale’ about colette & lola, the first cake shop created by ISMAYA group. its quite an experimental innovation i must say, considering not only sweet, but it also serves uncommon flavors that you rarely find in any other cake shop. not to mention the dreamy candy land ambience that makes you feel like stepping into a set of katy perry’s ‘californian girl’ music video once you enter the realm behind colette & lola’s cupcake shaped door knob. a mountain pile of colorful macarons in several corners, kitchen utilities with cute pastel colors, and a number of adorable cake replicas are only a few aspects that will certainly spoil your sight here!
well, space wise, colette & lola isnt made to cater a lot of people for sure. thats why most customers would prefer to take away their orders instead of waiting in line for seats. then what are the signature creations that make colette & lola so special? other than the commonly known ones like rainbow cake and red velvet (duh), there are many other compelling variations to tempt every sweet tooth in town. name it miss gingerbread (tiramisu mousse topped with crunchy gingerbread crumbles), charlie brownie (dark chocolate ganache with crispy hazelnut wafers and chocolate devil sponge), or the lovely cake jasmyna (cheesecake infused with jasmine flavor, accompanied by strawberry gel and macarons). sweet!
other than jasmine they also experimented with earl grey. ever get curious of how an earl grey flavored cake taste like? then do yourself a favor and try out my lady grey! with a moist, cloud-like soft texture; apparently the classic tea selection isnt even the least bad when its constructed into a solid form of dessert. for chocolate maniacs out there, lola bar is one that is guaranteed to make you drool. it is made of rich chocolate milk, with a crispy sensation coming from caramel butterscotch crunch mixed with silky peanut butter glaze inside.
for the ultimate signature creation, lego cake is colette & lola’s main spotlight. yup, as you can tell from the name they are shaped exactly like gigantic lego blocks with four kinds of bright colors that represent each flavor: lychee, lemon, blueberry, and pistachio. it is THAT fancy looking that i dont have the heart to munch it and ruin the form >.<
last but not least, for mini bites collections the cake shop also got candy pops and macarons with surprising flavors such as cola, carrot cake, sea salt caramel, or a savory one, smoky beef. well aint that a unique experience!
