The Hyve buzz on Dessert Bar
Hyve opened its doors to Colombo on the 23rd of October 28, 2018 on Thimbirigasyaya Road, Colombo. The 3 siblings Rukshika, Chanika and Minura have synergised to create a dedicated dessert bar, which highlights a wide variety of ingenious goodies, guaranteed to tickle your taste buds! Simply knowing that it’s owned by 3 siblings, with nothing but a passion to share their love for food sets Hyve apart from other major chains and bakeries, while their minimalist, cosy interior and reasonably priced, innovative range of delicacies will definitely whisk you away!
The head baker Chanika said “A lot of people ask me why I don’t have a lot of non-chocolate desserts, but what I have noticed is that most people come looking for chocolate desserts.”
Speaking with the Daily mirror Life, Minura explained to us that most the desserts they sell are “mixed & matched elements from other desserts to create one stand-out dessert”. For example their fan favourite burnt butter cake (Rs.450) comprises of sponge cake, white chocolate ganache, chocolate nuts and salted caramel layers!
Ganache chocolate cake
This is a classic, moist chocolate cake with a fudgy dark chocolate frosting. To say this cake is elegant would be an understatement as it is an absolutely underrated and timeless dessert!
White & dark chocolate mousse
The 2 layers of mousse are served in a stumpy glass jar. The flavours of the bitter dark chocolate and sweet vanilla come together in unison to deliver a light and creamy jar of goodness.
Raspberry Heaven
This cake consist of layers of sponge cake, white chocolate mousse, raspberry cream, butter cream and is topped off with a layer of white chocolate ganache. This was a stellar combination of a number of fascinating textures and flavours which each elevated the dessert and meshed to create an absolute slice of heaven! We fell in love with this unique dessert naturally making it our favourite!
Chocolate caramel tart
The biscuit crust base, filled with a layer of chocolate ganache and silky caramel, topped with crunchy nuts was absolutely visually appealing. We can safely say you have to look no further if you are looking for a dessert that’s both gooey and good!
