The first time I went to Dolce & Salato, I noticed the large wood-fired oven in the corner but it wasn’t in action just yet. Just before Christmas, they fired up the oven and I got to try it out earlier this month. Some friends and I shared two pizzas between the three of us. […] Read more…
For my partner’s birthday, I ordered a cake from the Flute Bakery. He chose the Grand Marnier cake – white chocolate and grand marnier mousse with vanilla sponge and chocolate sponge. There are two sizes – 22cm cake for $40, or the 18cm for $30. Pretty reasonable prices. At least one day’s notice is required […] Read more…
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! […] Read more…
Croissant D’or finally opened today at Westfield Woden. I’ve been walking past anticipating its opening for the last few weeks as it was meant to open in September.

Walking around the bus depot markets in Kingston with half of Canberra, I did a lap of the mini food court. The crepe stall (forget what they’re called) had some samples of something cake-like on the counter. Not knowing what it was, I sampled a tiny sliver. I fell in love with this instantly and […] Read more…
I booked into high tea at Ricardo’s with a girlfriend of mine. I love Ricardo’s cakes and pastries so was really looking forward to testing out their high tea. It is $35 per person and you can book it online. They do high tea every day from 2pm. It also includes a tea/coffee or cold […] Read more…
Ricardo’s facebook page has been tantalisingly teasing me these last few weeks with the latest items on their menu. Introducing the cronut. What is a cronut? Described as a half croissant half donut filled with cream and glazed. Invented by Chef Dominique Ansel at his New York bakery and launched in May this year. The […] Read more…
