20250917 JellyCat Boba Tea Cake + Durian Cake

Profile picture for user Yippee

 

Making these cakes feels like taking an intensive crash course in baking. With so many techniques to learn, it can feel overwhelming at times, yet it’s incredibly gratifying to watch each cake take shape. The joy of creating something both cute and delicious, and imagining the smiles of the people who get to enjoy it, excites me. For someone who rarely has patience for tedious tasks, I find myself surprisingly enamored with the process.

 

   

Yippee, could you describe more clearly than the chatbot did what a jellycat boba tea cake is. I read what bubble tea and boba are, but it's unclear whether the tea cake is solid, liquid, or what exactly. The durian cake was pretty straightforward, although I'd never heard of durian fruit. At any rate, they both look delicious.

Boba tea cakes can mean different things—sometimes it’s cake in a milk tea cup,

other times it’s a cup of milk tea built into a cake.

Mine’s neither. I made a traditional cake infused with milk tea flavor and packed with boba in every way I could,, then topped it off with a cute JellyCat-inspired design.

P.S.

There’s also a third kind with no cake at all—what they call cake brûlée boba milk tea. It’s basically whipped custard spread around the cup, then filled with milk tea and finished with boba at the bottom.
