Special desserts coming to Halekulani in August

By Catherine Toth Fox • July 26, 2011 • Food

It’s not everyday you can feast on the dessert creations of a master pastry chef from Japan.

But next month you can sample the sweet masterwork of Chef Kanjiro Mochizuki, the pastry master from the iconic and legendary Imperial Hotel Tokyo, at the the posh Halekulani in Waikiki.

Called “The Art of the Dessert,” the hotel will offer special desserts you won’t get anywhere else. We’re talking one-of-a-kind sweets like the delicate roll cakes, shown above, or the clever bamboo shoot cake, shown below.

The desserts — all created by the award-winning Mochizuki, in conjunction with Halekulani’s pastry chef Mark Freischmidt — will be served during daily afternoon tea service at the hotel’s Veranda Tea Room.

The special dessert menus — exclusive to the Halekulani — will run from Aug. 8 to 31.

But wait, there’s more.

The master pastry chef will host a pastry demonstration at 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 6, followed by an afternoon tea where you can sample his dessert creations with a flute of champagne. (This is part of Halekulani Living, the hotel’s luxury and lifestyle series.) Cost is $49 and reservations are required.

Or you can indulge in these sweet creations at the popular Sunday brunch on Aug. 7 at Orchids. Cost is $57 and reservations are required, too.

Sure, it’s pricey. But it’s certainly cheaper than a roundtrip ticket to Tokyo.

For more information about “The Art of the Dessert” or to make reservations, call (808) 923-2311 or visit its website.

    having a strawberry with your flute of champagne is a dessert taste explosion of and in itself. May the force be with you….

    This is one of the fantastic things about The Daily Dish. I may be mostly a paper plate, paper bag, kind of diner, and Cat will indulge that with great flair, making it a celebration. I can also see and taste through these photos, words, and a little theater of my own mind some of the most sought after culinary treasures on earth. MMMmmmmm
