A Vietnamese Favourite, Reimagined
Gateau Che Bap isn’t your typical coconut cake. At Lily’s Patisserie, we transformed the Vietnamese Che Bap pudding, made with corn and coconut milk, into a dessert that is light, playful, and full of surprises in every bite.
A Taste of Heritage
Lily’s Patisserie often draws dessert inspiration from its Vietnamese roots. Corn plays a starring role in the cuisine, from street snacks like Bap Xao (grilled corn with scallion oil) to comforting sweets like Che Bap. Beyond flavour, corn carries cultural significance, representing warmth, nourishment, and community across generations.
A New Take on Tradition
Vietnamese desserts are known for their thoughtful balance: gentle on the palate yet layered with flavour. They blend influences from East Asian soups, French-style flans, and Southeast Asian touches like pandan and coconut milk. Gateau Che Bap embraces this spirit of fusion, with our signature Lily’s twist. Instead of traditional glutinous rice, it starts with a crisp rice cereal base for a playful crunch, layered with creamy coconut mousse, smooth sweetcorn filling, and soft sponge that brings everything together. Each bite progresses from crunchy to airy to melt-in-your-mouth, a mix of textures that keeps you coming back for just one more slice.
What’s Inside
Each Gateau Che Bap Coconut Cake features:
- A crunchy rice cereal base

It strikes a gentle balance, never too sweet, with a welcoming mix of familiar and new flavours.
Why Do People Love It
Customers share that in spite of their apprehension, this cake has grown on them, offering a delightful bite that’s both comforting and refreshing all at once.
