The holidays just got a whole lot sweeter with Pidapipo’s latest festive masterpiece, the Pandoro Christmas Cake. Like a pannetone, but not really, the pandoro is an Italian Christmas must. Even more so when it’s a gelato-filled creation that is a decadent twist on a beloved classic, perfect for elevating any holiday gathering. Shaped like a Christmas tree, the Pandoro Christmas Cake showcases Pidapipo’s signature flair for indulgence. Its base is made of Pandoro, layered with a dreamy mix of their favourite festive gelato flavours. Think bacio, hazelnut, Pandoro itself, coconut, chocolate, sour cherry swirl, and chocolate fudge—all wrapped in a rich dark chocolate semifreddo and a crisp milk chocolate shell. The result? A showstopping dessert that’s as elegant as it is mouthwatering. Available for $120, this seasonal delight can be ordered online via the Pidapipo website from 25 November to 21 December, with in-store collection starting from 10 December. If you’re more of a last-minute shopper (we’ve all been there), the Pandoro Christmas Cake will also be available from 10 December at Pidapipo’s Carlton, Fitzroy, and Windsor locations. To sweeten your holiday shopping spree, Pidapipo has popped up at Myer, Bourke Street Mall. Treat yourself to their beloved gelato flavours or try the limited-edition ‘Coconut Snowflakes’—a divine blend of coconut and mango gelato encased in a white chocolate shell and sprinkled with coconut flakes. It’s the ultimate on-the-go indulgence. Pidapipo’s Pandoro Christmas Cake isn’t just dessert; it’s a celebration of Italian roots and holiday cheer.
