The popularity of Mariette confectionery is mainly related to the boss. The founder, Mr. Maruyama, is over 60 years old, has studied in 3 famous cake shops in Japan for 20 years, and has operated his own brand cake shops in Japan and Taiwan for 21 years, and came to Shenzhen in 2015. However, with the opening of three branches one after another, Mr. Maruyama no longer makes the cakes himself at the store, at most he only takes turns supervising the work at the three stores, and the quality of the products is far from keeping up with the beautiful brand story.
The store's signature strawberry milk cake has a lovely appearance, with a faint cold day covering a few strawberries on the head, and a sponge cake and strawberry cream underneath. The great part is that even with the use of condensed milk flavoring, the overall taste is still fresh; Mariette's eponymous cake uses TWG Earl Grey tea as the source of the mousse in the middle, which is light and light, but the dry texture of the two sponge cakes is really disappointing, and the graininess is so strong that it cuts the throat slightly. Other items also have the problem of cake embryos being too dry, which is really contrary to the standard of decades-old craftsmanship advertised by the store.
If you choose a cake with cream as the main character, such as chestnut cake or chestnut confectionery, in order to enrich the taste, the store will add too much custard sauce or sugar to the cream, which will make the flavor sweeter and thicker, but lose the freshness. Mariette confectionery, as an Internet celebrity store for taking pictures and chatting, is still qualified; But under the packaging of the story of the old craftsman, it is difficult to live up to its reputation by presenting such a texture and production.
