back in week 2, when i still had time, during a 3hour break i went with 2 other friends spontaneously to eat cake for lunch. (i actually brought lunch with me, so i had my lunch for arvo tea...)
we were at upper campus, so this place was 2 bus stops away, or about a 10 minute walk. since it's really close to uni (on Randwick side), i've seen heaps of these cake photos before, and this place wasn't on my list to go, but i guess it's the company that matters (:
four cakes between 3 people. each cake is $7.50
i really like the colour theme and decor od this shop, and the prices are alright and quite big servings. we were soo full from this.
Pistachio and Panna Cotta: layer of almond sponge, pistachio panna cotta and fresh raspberries
chose this one since it was interesting to have panna cotta in cake. would have liked more pistachio flavour, but this had a nice acidity to it (similar to the layer of raspberry gel in Zumbo's cakes) to cut through the panna cotta. the panna cotta wasn't as creamy it it should be.
Caprioska: lemon lime mousse, lychee and vanilla sponge
got this because it's so pretty! subtle hints of lemon and lime, would have preferred my lychee flavour, but then again it would have made it taste artificial. has a short bread base at the bottom, but it was thin and easy to cut into.
Baked ricotta cheesecake
i liked how it wasn't as heavy as cream cheese.
red velvet
we all had a slight red velvet craving. it was ok, but not great.
Hahaha, a 'slight red velvet craving'. I guess when you have a red velvet craving, you want it to be really good!
ReplyDeleteAll of the others looked really good too! I'm like you, I try to pick the most unusual.
