Karl Lagerfeld creates custom Christmas cake

Chanel’s creative director designed the lipstick-shaped cake in honor of the 10th anniversary of Chef Alain Ducasse’s Beige. Pastry chef Julien Kientzler is in charge of baking the limited edition desserts.

Chef Alain Ducasse’s Tokyo-based eatery Beige has tapped multi-talented German fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld to design a one-of-a kind Christmas cake for its 10th anniversary.

The creative director of Chanel, Lagerfeld chose to recreate an iconic lipstick shape combining rich flavors of caramel and dark chocolate.

Lagerfeld’s vision will become a reality in the capable hands of head pastry chef Julien Kientzler, who will take care to add the designer’s personal final touch: the interlocking Cs Chanel logo.

The limited edition pastry will be presented in an exclusive box featuring a sketch by Lagerfeld with only 100 cakes to be sold.

When contacted by AFP Relaxnews, the Alain Ducasse Group indicated that at this point there were no plans in place to make the product available in Europe
