I thought I’d put together a list of small home bakeries around Canberra that I’ve ordered from or come across the last few months. There are certainly a lot that have popped up!

Note: I was given a Sakuraco box in exchange for a review on this blog. All opinions are my own. Up until a few months ago, I did not know you could get subscription boxes filled with all sorts of treats from around the world. I only found out about these when they started popping […] Read more…
