For a work colleague’s birthday morning tea, I suggested we try a cake from Croissant D’or in Woden which has recently opened up.
The Opera Cake ($25) immediately caught my eye due to its triangular shape. I could also see the layers and layers of goodness. *drool
The cake was so moist and absolutely DELICIOUS! It tasted a bit like tiramisu due to the layers of sponge soaked in coffee, and the layers of coffee buttercream (light brown part). There is a white middle layer but i couldn’t quite work out what it was due to the coffee flavours – i’m guessing it was a hazelnut flavour. The chocolate ganache on the very top is thick and sumptuous.
For a cake this size, it fed 8 adults nicely. I highly recommend! It was so yummy, I’m drooling just thinking about it again…
