"Flung" cream might not be the prettiest confection, but it's oh so good on KSL's hazelnut cake.
One of the first bakeries in town, Kaisiling's original shop on Nanjing Xi Lu has been turning out Shanghainese approved sweets for decades now.
KSL's signature product is its throwback hazelnut cream “cake” (actually a creamy puree of sweet hazelnuts topped with fresh "flung" cream), which it sells in tissue-wrapped, single-serving orbs.
The flung cream at Kaisiling (essentially whipped cream), is a favorite old school dessert among those who grew up in Shanghai.
The flung cream is delicious when eaten alone, and even better on KSL's hazelnut cake.
