Macaroons

So I've completely fallen in love with macaroons. There is a place in Chirnside Park shopping centre where you can buy amazing ones! They're made by some guy in Vermont.


This one is pistachio with anime photobomb. (Can you pick which anime??) It was a pretty mild flavour, but it was still very good.




I went a bit nuts and bought four. Bubblegum, French Vanilla (didn't actually try that one, the boyfriend got it), Blackforest and Orange Cointreau.

Orange cointreau is especially good. I totally endorse this product.


These sorry looking ones were put in the box after I'd already squashed them in my bag. They might look funny, but they're Cheesecake (very nice) and Piña Colada. The Piña Colada was amazing!!!


There are so many flavours, so there will be more macaroon posts until I've tried all of them!

Fancy Desserts

Went to a nice cafe/restaurant/plant nursery with the ladies of my mother's side of the family for lunch and, of course, dessert.

My mum got a gluten-free orange cake. It was very sweet.



I got a giant vanilla slice (which tasted a lot like cream).



My aunt got the stickydate pudding, which I think might have been the best dessert there. Stickydate is great!

Chocolate Cake



Yes, another chocolate cake! I cut in in half and put raspberry jam and strawberries in it.


It tasted beautiful, but needed to be a bit higher. More bicarb soda next time!

Wedding Food!

The wedding was lovely. Bride looked amazing, etc. Now onto the sweets!



We all had a little bag of chocolates by our name tag. The bags had little notes in them. Mine said "You don't marry someone you can live with- you marry the person you can't live without." Sweet! One of my counterparts at the table got a Shakespeare quote.



Dessert was great! There were two desserts- mine, which was Tri Choc and a Mini Cheesecake. Tri Choc had chocolate fudge, a strawberry dipped in chocolate and chocolate brownies. The brownies were so moist, loved it! The fudge wasn't as chocolatey as I thought it should be, but it still tasted great. Strawberries in chocolate are always good!



The mini cheese cake. My friend told me it was very yummy. How cute is it?!



I forgot to get a photo of the uncut wedding cake, but I did get one of my piece! It was VERY rich.



These little cupcakes were from the post-wedding lunch the next day. I still have some. Kawaii!



Stay sweet!

My boyfriend's brother is getting married. You know what that means!

I'm so exited about the desserts and sweets! I'll have to remember to write down what I eat, it's hard to remember the names of every thing. Woo! Expensive sweets!

Stay sweet!

Chocolate Madness 2



My friend and I went to Knox and HAD to have chocolates, so where else would we go but the Theobroma Chocolate Lounge?



My friend got these two. An Orange Champagne Cream Heart and a Raspberry Heart. From the noises she was making, I assume they tasted fantastic! She also got a very nice-looking ice coffee.



I got a Jaffa Heart, a Passionfruit Spear and a chai latte. Loved them!






The Jaffa Heart was pretty intense. Jaffa is such an underrated flavour!
As I've said before, get yo asses to the Theobroma Chocolate Lounge ASAP!

Vanilla Custard in Maple Syrup




Another triumph of a dessert made by my mum!
The custard was swimming in maple syrup, it was like a custard pancake. She baked in in the oven, too. And everyone knows that berries make anything more awesome!
