Over the past few days, Dr. Vicki Belo gained attention when her personal assistant, Millet, disclosed that she had traveled to Paris just to buy the favorite cake of the celebrity beauty doctor. (Wow!)
This revelation came to light through a vlog shared on Dr. Vicki's YouTube channel, which elicited mixed reactions from netizens. However, some were simply curious about the luxurious cakes!
In an interview with PEP.ph, Dr. Vicki's husband, Dr. Hayden Kho, reaffirmed that Jean-Paul Hévin cakes are her favorite "pasalubong." According to the celebrity doctor, he buys them himself and brings them back from Paris every time he travels without Dr. Vicki.
How Much Are Dr. Vicki Belo's Favorite Cakes from Jean-Paul Hévin?
In the interview, Dr. Hayden mentioned that Dr. Vicki doesn't have a particular favorite. He typically buys whatever is available, and shares it with their household staff and friends.
"Ang nangyayari, binibili ko lahat ng cakes na available. Si Vicki, Vicki just enjoys it. Hindi naman niya kinakain lahat," he said. "Ang ginagawa niya pagdating sa bahay, kasi hina-hand carry ko iyan e. Pagdating sa bahay, shine-share niya 'yung joy."
For those who are curious, Jean-Paul Hévin is renowned for its high-end artisanal chocolates, and without a doubt, its chocolate cakes are top sellers. According to its website, cakes and pastries are available at a price range of 4.80 euros or P291.72 to 57 euros or P3,464.20.
