The balance of whipped cream and strawberries is good.

The fruit is fresh and juicy, so we always come here for celebrations like birthdays. They also have seasonal items, so I always have a hard time choosing.

It’s the company where my best friend works, and I’ve eaten their cakes every year for about 25 years. They’re inexpensive and delicious. I ordered this year’s Christmas cake the other day.

You can only buy their fresh cakes at the Koyoen main shop, but I think they’re so good they’re worth going out of your way for. For birthdays and Christmas, the only cake I can think of is Tsumagari! By the way, I’m on team whipped cream.

It also doubles as a birthday cake, so I choose this place because they’re great at illustration plates!

It’s not there anymore, but it used to be in front of the kindergarten, and I often went there with my kids.

Since they use natural ingredients, I bought a birthday cake there for my granddaughter’s second birthday, and my daughter and her husband loved it too♪ I also made a reservation for a Christmas cake the other day. Peace of mind and safety come first.

The design is beautiful every year. The way they use decorative chocolate is stylish. Since the base is cheesecake, another appealing point is that it tastes good. The box design is also so nice that I always feel it’s a shame to throw it away. However, because of COVID over the past few years, I haven’t been able to enjoy the kind of cake that really feels like Gramercy. I hope to see their old-style cakes again this year.

Because the taste, appearance, everything is always right. It has an image of being expensive, but the price is normal, so our family spends Christmas every year with a cake from Henri Charpentier.

We get Tsumagari every year. The sweetness is modest, so even after dinner, everyone in the family easily eats two slices.

When I was a student, the first cake I ever bought with my own money for my parents’ wedding anniversary was from Henri Charpentier. Of course everyone in my family loves Henri’s shortcake, but it’s also a precious and beloved shop that has always been part of our celebrations.
