It's in town, the first ever PIE CAKE by Colette & Lola


Who doesn’t know Colette & Lola, one of established family of Ismaya Group who consistently creating an enticing and mouth-watering array of cakes and cookies. This month, Colette & Lola making a great breakthrough by combining a cake and pie. Yes, you’ve heard it, a pie who nowadays become “something” (I realized it when most of Instagram’s post filled with people selling creative kind-of-pie, okay make it short “kekinian”) combined with cake and they named it as PIE CAKE. Claimed as the first of its kind in Indonesia’s cake-dessert industry, this innovation combines the crusty deliciousness of pie with the softness of sponge cake. Each flavor offers its own distinctive sense of yum that translates visually to different names, characteristics, and taste. Actually this breakthrough has been made on last May, but this month they offer something more tempting Red Velvet Pie Cake and Choco Break

Red Velvet Pie Cake

Red Velvet might be so last year, but how about putting it on a crunchy and flaky almond pie. Well, that’s amazed me at the first time since Colette & Lola made it like a dome, quite big and high in size as well. Those creative combination was completed with red velvet sponge cake, cheese tart, red macaroons and fresh butter cream. I honestly must say that I love this combination! The cream cheese was quite strong which is for me that’s the ideal measurement of great red velvet, the cake was also moist without leaving any awkward taste on my throat and that flaky almond pie was balancing everything.


Choco Break Pie Cake

If you’re a Kit-Kat lovers, you shouldn’t miss this pie cake. A combination of flaky almond pie topped with chocolate sponge cake and layers of fresh butter cream and Kit-Kat surrounding the pie cake. I expected that the whole sponge cake was made from Kit-Kat crumbles but sadly it’s not. I expected something more “bold”, more chocolate than this. However, if you’re a chocolate lover but looking for something light, this pie cake better for you.


Besides creating the pie cake, Colette & Lola also creates something which will pampering our Indonesian’ taste bud, Indonesian Inspired Cakes. Who’s craving for Es Teler, Es Merah Delima and Martabak? Well, in this rainy season, you might choose not to consume that cold beverages but you can opt to eat cake. Yes, you’ve heard it, Es Teler Cake, Es Merah Delima Cake and Martabak Cake are Colette & Lola newest creations to preserve Indonesian traditional dessert in a different way.

Es Teler Cake


This cake was truly inspired from the Es Teler you usually found in your neighborhood. Layers of classic vanilla sponge cake, pandan sponge cake, pink sponge cake, topped with avocado cream,coconut cream, nata de coco, jackfruit jelly and the ever present whipping cream. I love overall combination but I wish Colette & Lola could make their butter cream bolder in taste.


Es Merah Delima Cake


I love how genius Colette & Lola to craft a soft and fluffy vanilla sponge cake combined with red jelly and merah delima cream. However, I, again, still expect something more than a butter cream. Frankly speaking, their butter cream might be light and not too sweet but it’s as light as a cotton which directly disappear after the first bite.


Martabak Cake

The king of every Indonesian’s guilty pleasure gets a drastic makeover! Currently, in love with this creation of vanilla sponge cake layered in hazelnut and salted butter cream, topped with crunchypeanuts, cheddar cheese, chocolate sprinkles (mesjes), and chocolate ganache and cream. It feels like eating martabak cokelat keju slash a traditional chocolate and cheese sponge cake. Both are my childhood favorite and Colette & Lola brought my taste bud to that era. 


Eeeits, it’s not over yet, you now that October is ending very soon which means Halloween celebration is coming yay! For everyone who celebrates Halloween, Colette & Lola will company you with Halloween’s creation.
