Baumkuchen, “tree ring” cake, is an incredibly tedious cake as it is baked layer by layer. At La Collina, you can view the chefs in their elements at work.

Still as pricey as it is back home, this was the best I’ve had thus far! I’ve never really craved for this, but this was so good I bought it home too! Buttery, soft, moist (though I wasn’t a fan of the sugary sweet side). Also comes with a dollop of light whipped cream on the side😍

The set (982¥) comes with choice of a drink - go for their cold brew coffee. Smooth and easy, or the refreshing earl grey tea.
