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.

The dorayaki comes with the option of strawberry/ banana with cream which was delightfully light and sweet.

If you ever find yourself planning for a trip to Lake Biwa, here’s a good place to spend an hour or two! I loved how slow it was - just take a stroll around the compound, watch the flowers in the breeze, enjoy its architecture; hop from cafe to cafe (there are two confectioneries here), grab a hot dog bun at the food/ drink stall; or stop by their Club Harie souvenir store lined with vintage car plates and old rides.
The selection is small with only Baumkuchen/ cookies, dorayaki, castella cake for dine in.
The cookie (from Club Harie at the Baumkuchen section) was delicious, we had the one with a chocolate filling - it was very rich, slightly bittersweet and very chocolatey!
