Coffee franchise brand HOLLYS said on the 18th that the "mother-of-pearl box tiramisu cake" sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The mother-of-pearl box tiramisu cake, which presents HOLLYS' heritage, is a product that places a tiramisu cake in a handcrafted mother-of-pearl box and was developed in collaboration with master artisan of cultural assets Eom Yong-gil.
According to HOLLYS, the preorder date for the mother-of-pearl box tiramisu cake was on the 16th, and all prepared quantities sold out within an hour of preorders starting. HOLLYS is currently reviewing additional production.
The mother-of-pearl box tiramisu cake features a moist sponge with a pronounced coffee flavor, topped with mascarpone cheese and cocoa powder. It was made as a tiramisu you crack and eat by adding a chocolate sheet, and it also adds the fun of cracking it with the enclosed shell-shaped spoon.
In particular, the fact that the mother-of-pearl box can be used as a small container to store accessories or business cards after finishing the cake is cited as the secret behind the preorder sellout. Word spread that the iridescent mother-of-pearl box, wrapped with a luxurious bojagi bag and norigae to add traditional meaning, also makes a good gift for the year-end and New Year.
A HOLLYS official said, "We are extremely grateful for the great interest in the 'mother-of-pearl box tiramisu cake' presented in collaboration with an artisan who embodies traditional beauty," adding, "HOLLYS will continue to do its best to introduce a variety of seasonal cakes."
