Internet celebrity cake shop, generally speaking, refers to many Internet celebrities visiting this store, but this one is different, its owner is an Internet celebrity.
A video of a Taobao model changing her look one second by one, and the model, who also ventured into the restaurant industry, set up this cotton cake with her boyfriend. The positioning of cotton dots is very clear at the beginning: Internet celebrity decoration, Internet celebrity production, and Internet celebrity audience. Relying on the influence of the two in the circle, as well as the promotion of major local marketing accounts, Cotton Point Cake has become one of the most well-known Internet celebrity cake brands in Hangzhou.
The cotton cake is located in a shop in a community on Binsheng Road, with a dessert cabinet and an open kitchen on the first floor and an independent dining area on the second floor. The highlight of the store is that the second floor adopts a fully transparent glass roof, and the sunlight shines into the lobby with a scandinavian minimalist style in all directions, which is bright and elegant, and the ample light ensures the brightness and luxury of the photos. There are even two large movable mirrors in the upstairs area of about 40 or 50 square meters, not only for decoration, but also for Internet celebrities who come to the store to take photos. However, the design of the fully transparent glass also caused the temperature on the second floor to be high, and the air conditioning in the store was even more inadequate in the hot summer.
The store's main swan puffs, mille-feuille cuts, and mousses are all well-known desserts for the general public, with a small shape and easy to photogenic. In terms of taste, there are not many highlights of cotton point cakes, and the level ranks in the middle of the Hangzhou cake shop, taking the signature swan puffs as an example, the animal butter is sweet in the mouth, and the moderate sweetness makes people not feel sweet and greasy, but the crunch degree of the bottom puffs needs to be improved, and you can eat more obvious tendons in one bite. Although the other mille-feuille pieces are the same as the Lady M's in appearance, the small number of pie crusts after biting into them leads to a thin texture, and the pie crust texture is soft and inelastic, which makes the cream taste too prominent and lacks heat in balance.
At the beginning of its opening, cotton cake often used "no added coloring" as a selling point to highlight the "healthy" attribute of its own products, but behind the common words of this Internet celebrity cake shop is people's misunderstanding of coloring. In fact, many of the colors are extracted from natural ingredients, and even if they are artificial colors, they will not be harmful to the human body if used in moderation under the right conditions. Speaking of the store itself, although the production is not outstanding, but the unique environment and relatively affordable pricing, cotton cake still finds its place in Hangzhou cake shop.
