A Classic, Reimagined (Earl Grey 2.0) We have taken one of Phoenix Sweets’ most beloved flavours and given it a refreshing upgrade. If you love the calming aroma of tea but crave a touch of fruity brightness, this is the cake for you.

The Flavour Profile: Floral, Fruity, & Aromatic We start with our substantial Victoria Sponge base, infused with premium Fair Trade Earl Grey tea leaves. We don't use artificial tea flavouring—we steep real tea to ensure a deep, authentic bergamot aroma.

The magic happens in the filling. We pair the tea sponge with a Lychee Rose buttercream that offers a delicate floral sweetness. To cut through the richness, we add a layer of our homemade Lychee Rose and Mixed Berries Jam.

• The Result: The tartness (zest) of the lychee and berries compliments the floral rose and the earthy tea notes. It creates a refreshing, appetizing finish that leaves you wanting another slice.

The "Phoenix Sweets" Texture Please note: This is not a light, airy chiffon cake. We use a traditional European Victoria Sponge with Butter Cream recipe.

• Texture: Dense, moist, and buttery.

• Sweetness: "Less Sweet" (少甜) — tailored for the Hong Kong palate to highlight natural ingredients.

Why Choose This Cake?

• Premium Ingredients: Fair Trade Tea, Natural Fruit Purees, and Homemade Jam.

• Elegant Aesthetic: A perfect centerpiece for birthdays, anniversaries, or sophisticated farewells.

• Safe & Natural: No artificial flavourings or preservatives.

Important Ordering Information:

• Lead Time: As an artisan creation, we require 1-2 weeks advance notice.

• Handmade: Each cake is hand-crafted; slight variations in the finish are a mark of its artisan nature.

• **Storage & Temperature**

  • Optimal Enjoyment: The cake is best enjoyed at Room Temperature (around 20°C). If consumed below 15°C, the texture of the butter cream will be severely affected, becoming firm and less enjoyable.
  • Same-Day Consumption: If you plan to serve the cake on the day of collection, you may simply store it in a cool, indoor, air-conditioned room (approx. 20°C).
  • Overnight Storage: For maximum safety, you may store the cake in the refrigerator. Keep the cake level at all times.
  • Avoid: Keep the cake away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat when not in the fridge.

  **The Essential 'Warm-Up' Tip**

  If your cake has been refrigerated (including overnight), this step is crucial for achieving the perfect flavour and moist texture:

  • Warm-Up Period: Before serving, you must take the cake out of the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours to bring it to room temperature.
  • Keep it Boxed: We strongly recommend allowing the cake to warm up inside its original box to protect it from moisture condensation.
