With a similar experience to the owner of a delicious piece of cake, Ray, the head of Yibo Cake, is also a "halfway monk", who used to be an HR of a Fortune 500 company in Shenzhen, and then changed his career and began to engage in the cake industry. The name of the box is taken from his adaptation of the classic line "Life is like a box of cakes, you never know what the next piece will taste like".
The products of the box are also closely related to the name of the store, and the box cakes are the representative series here, and most of the cakes in the store are served in boxes or glass jars. The salted soufflé box is covered with thin chips, milk chocolate adds a layer of cocoa, and redcurrant and almond crisps are the finishing touches, which impress with sweet and sour flavours and nutty aromas respectively. The Black Forest Box's chocolate cake is fluffy and moist, the cake is covered with two layers of cream, one with reduced sugar and one with dark chocolate cream, and although the tart cherries at the bottom will reduce the sweetness, the excess cream is still greasy.
At the end of 2018, Yibox launched three cake rolls: berry chocolate rolls, mango passion fruit rolls and Oreo chocolate rolls, which have many similarities with floating cloud rolls in terms of shape and production methods. The Floating Cloud Roll, also known as the MOF Roll, is a classic by world-class pastry chef Angelo Musa. The floating cloud roll seems simple, but it is difficult to control. It is a reversal of the traditional cake rolls, which require a high liquid content to create a fluffy texture, and if the liquid is too high, the roll will break. The three rolls of the Italian box are not excellent, the liquid content is lacking, the cake is dry and hard, and it is still reluctant as a dessert.
At present, there are 5 branches in Changsha, and the products are not much different, and diners can choose nearby.
