Little Cupcakes Review

littlecupcakes I was in Melbourne for a short trip last week, and thought while I was there I would have to find a cupcake bakery to visit for a review, as we are running out of Sydney bakeries

Little Cupcakes was closest to where I was staying, so it was the chosen one.

I found the super cute little store tucked away in a side street. The cupcakes look fabulous all neatly lined up in the display window. They have regular and mini sized cupcakes. Couldn’t wait to try one, had been a few months since my last cupcake!

I bought the Strawberry, Red Velvet, White Choc + Raspberry and Vanilla. I should have known better than to wait… should have gotten a picture and had a little taste straight away but after a long tram trip in the warmish weather they didn’t fair so well. Such a shame, they were beautifully packages in a little box and a cute little carry bag.

I wasn’t about to let appearances put me off and despite looking like a jumbled mess, I could still taste each of the icing flavours and cakes. They were delish! Icing had wonderful flavours and wasn’t too sweet. The cakes were lovely and fresh, not dry at all. The White Choc and Raspberry one was divine, with a lovely raspberry centre.

Little cupcakes, as must visit. But i’d suggest stuffing them in your face asap

Cafe, Review, Waffles

Jas my Waffles

I saw a write up in the local paper about a new cafe that had opened up that specialised in waffles, sounded delish!I loved the story behind how the husband and wife team started their business.

Today I took Mum to check out Jas my Waffles in Rooty Hill. I’ll have to be honest and say I don’t think I have actually had freshly made waffles that weren’t from a packet or frozen.

We drooled over the mouth watering menu, having trouble deciding what to try. They have a great range of sweet and savoury waffles.

I went for fruits of the forest single serve, $6.95. 1/2 a waffle, mixed fruit, caramel sauce and one scoop of New Zealand Natural ice cream. Mum was game and went for the full serve, double the waffley goodness for $11.95. I also had to try a caramel churros, $2.50

NOM NOM NOM! It was awesome, the waffles was warm, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. Paired with a scoop of vanilla and the berries *sigh* yum!

While I was waiting for mum to try and find room for her ginormous helping. I was watching them make their waffles-to-go. Small waffles on a stick, a bit like a pluto pup..sweet or savoury.

I got myself a ham and cheese, $2.50. Just to see what it was like. It was a roll of thick ham stuffed with mozzerella cheese, cooked inside yummy waffle..on a stick.

*faint* Heaven on a stick, honestly..it was so good.

Service was great, as was the coffee.

I am looking forward to taking manpet and the kids there to try it out, tomorrow too soon?

The Cupcake Bakery-QVB Sydney

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Cupcake Bakery’s new store in The QVB.

The store itself is super cute, I love the decor. They have a great menu that clearly shows you the different cupcake flavours and which is what to make that hard choice a little easier.

The cupcakes look great. A full sized cupcake with lots of icing. The price wasn’t too bad, $3.50 for the basic cakes.

They smelt divine! I wasn’t allowed to eat any till we got home..so had to smell them the whole trip, it was torture I tell you!

Of course I had to taste a little bit of everyone’s. They were all amazing! Best cupcakes I have EVER had. The cakes were fresh and delicious..the icing was amazing, nice and sweet.
