introduce to all of you a new sydney city girls meet up spot: @petalmetsugar
when i first open my instagram account, i was just randomly pick 3 things i really like, flowers, food and photo. now i found a newly opened store, which perfectly fit all my interest.
cakes here are so pretty like a small decoration, ice teas served with ice ball i only saw in whisky before.
i tried 4 differentcakesincluding the halloween special.
1.peach oolong ||one of the signature cake
it has been long time that i haven't seen something like this: simple but so beautiful. this store just considered every single details, from the color of the plate, table flowers, table color to that pure white with raspberry red touch cake.
in this cake, complex layers and flavors, including yoghurt, coconut, nuts, peach, berry and oolong, mixed together and give us a food symphony inside our mouth. it taste beautiful, soft, with a bit of tangy. really suit the incoming summer.
the only downside i can think of is we can't really taste the oolong flavor. i can see the small crushed tea leaves in one of the layer but the berry layer might over take it.
2. ghastly ghouls||the super cute halloween cake
top: the pavlova type of top really give this cake a highlight. i got upset when i heard the pumpkin was sold out but really got cheered up when saw this little ghost. the top is crispy outside and fluffy inside. flawless.
bottom: i forgot to check the description on the counter but...i think it is a blueberry mousse cake (correct me if i am wrong). i really like the texture and how it's creamy but also light taste at the same time. the base is a little bit hard for me because my fork can't poke through ....😜but overall, it's such a creative cake and it's great. too bad only available at halloween.
3.terrarium||this is just something definitely will catch most girls' eyes. when last weekend i went there, i saw this amazing cake, it's just lighted my whole afternoon. simple pleasure haha.
intro:" passionfruit finger like pannacotta, cocoa nib soil, baby lemon balm, edible flower garden, callebaut 29.5% white chocolate"
my friend used "summer garden" to described this cake.
the passionfruit inside is actually pretty tangy, so it's better to eat with the white chocolate shell for the balance taste.
and it is a guilty pleasure to destroy the whole cup and nom nom it....
4.vanilla and rhubarb eclair|| this is like one of the best eclairs, or i should say desserts i had ever.
intro:" vanilla bean (source from new zealand), creme patisserie, rhubarb jam, rhubarb chips, choice pastry (nut-free)." this is a small eclair but full of different flavors. when i heard eclair, i normally link to those profiteroles with a oblong shape stuff with cream inside. this beautiful eclair is so different. it have such a great texture, soft but a little bit sticky, with a tiny bit of tangy from rhubarb and the superb aroma from the vanilla bean. i can eat it everyday. (the only flaw is: the size is small not enough 😣😣)
