Black Star Pastry Expands with QT Hotels Cake Collaboration

Black Star Pastry, the famed Australian bakery known for its visually appealing Strawberry Watermelon Cake, is expanding its reach beyond Sydney and Melbourne. While the bakery has been a fixture in New South Wales, it is now venturing to new locations, including the Gold Coast, Perth, New Zealand, and Singapore. This move marks a significant step for Black Star Pastry as it goes national and international, introducing its creations to a wider audience.

The bakery’s latest venture involves a collaboration with QT Hotels, resulting in an exclusive month-long cake menu. Scheduled to launch on February 14, 2025, the menu is appropriately themed around romance, offering two special cakes named The Love Bomb and The Ghost. These delectable treats cater to both Valentine’s Day celebrants and dessert enthusiasts looking for an indulgent experience until March 14.

The Love Bomb cake promises a chocolate lover’s paradise, featuring layers of chocolate sponge, crèmeux, and mousse ganache atop a chocolate financier base. Topped with red streusel and raspberry chocolate shards, this dessert is a decadent delight. On the other hand, The Ghost cake offers a multi-layered experience with sponge cake, vanilla mousse, strawberry-raspberry compote, and a milk-coconut coating, all finished with a chocolate truffle garnish.

Priced at AU$18 each, these cakes come with a heartfelt love letter, enhancing the romantic ambiance. Available at all QT Hotels & Resorts signature dining restaurants and through room service, these desserts can be savored not only in Sydney, Bondi, and Melbourne but also in various QT locations across Australia and in New Zealand and Singapore.

The creative minds behind these exquisite cakes are Black Star’s Group Head Pastry Chef Arnaud Vodounou and QT Gold Coast Head Pastry Chef Daniel King. Their collaborative effort aims to blend the distinct styles of both brands while incorporating premium ingredients to create a unique culinary experience. King expressed his excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the fusion of QT’s flair and Black Star Pastry’s signature touch in crafting these delectable treats.

Vodounou echoed King’s sentiments, eagerly anticipating the nationwide and international reception of their creations. With a focus on delivering indulgence and deliciousness, this partnership between Black Star Pastry and QT Hotels promises a memorable culinary experience for cake enthusiasts across various regions.
