dessert spectacle. The star of the event—a colossal 10-meter-long Napoleon cake—instantly became the
center of attention upon its debut. The Lobby buzzed with excitement, drawing crowds of dessert
enthusiasts who lined up to snap photos and savor the creation. This masterpiece, crafted with meticulous
skill, sold out within just two hours, marking a sweet and spectacular conclusion to the event.
The 10-meter-long classic Napoleon cake, meticulously crafted by the hotel’s pastry team, underwent
an intricate production process utilizing 820 eggs, 140 kg of flour, and other premium ingredients. Its
layers of pastry are exquisitely thin, crisp, and airy, producing a satisfying "crunch" with each bite as they
shatter into golden flakes. A harmonious interplay of crispness and velvety smoothness unfolds on the
palate, reinterpreting the timeless flavors while offering guests a textural symphony where fragility
meets indulgence.
The resounding success of this event is a testament to our guests' high regard for the premium quality
desserts at Marco Polo Xiamen. Moving forward, we will remain committed to our artisanal craftsmanship,
introducing more exquisite pastries and vibrant events to deliver delightful surprises and unforgettable
experiences for all food enthusiasts!
