Some people like to go on pub crawls- I prefer a patisserie crawl! After my South Yarra adventure
last year I was ready for a return visit to celebrate my birthday.
Leilani and I started our afternoon at
LuxBite and shared the Tea Set for Two. Besides our chai lattes and two finger sandwiches we had our choice of 4 macarons and two desserts. For the macarons we picked the following flavors: heilala vanilla creme brûlée, ribena lemonade, green tea pistachio and bamboo oolong tea. For the desserts we had the Lolly Bag Cake and Banoffee. Everything was great and I think the Lolly Bag Cake was a favorite for both of us with its unique mix of flavors.
The next stop was
Adriano Zumbo's first Melbourne shop, which I have been wanting to visit since it opened last year. We picked out a box of six Zumbarons to eat later on: apple pie, mojito, pandan & sticky rice pudding, red velvet, caramel de buerre sale and Francesco brownie. We then got a table and shared the WASSAUP-BI! and Secret Carrot's Business cakes. Both were quite yummy, and the hint of wasabi actually worked in the cake. All of the Zumbarons that we ate this evening were quite flavorful and tasted as expected, especially the mojito one. I look forward to returning and tasting some more Zumbaron flavors as well as the famous V8 cake.
Our last visit was to the
Burch & Purchese Sweet Studio. You would think we had sugar overload by this point, but you would be wrong (at least for me). We bought a couple treats to take home with us: the popcorn & honeycomb rubble and strawberry, mint & white chocolate rubble. In addition, we shared two different desserts: the Explosive Raspberry Milk Chocolate which was served in a tube and the Beetroot, Strawberry, Rose and Vanilla cake. Both were surprisingly light and tasted amazing (especially the cake). When Lei told them it was my birthday one of the ladies brought us out a slightly damaged Explosive Raspberry Wheel to take home as a gift, which was so nice of them. Overall it was a great way to celebrate the day and get a pretty strong sugar fix!
