We all know ‘desserts’ is ‘stressed’ backwards…it’s kind of a sign that when that little bit of stress kicks in indulge yourself!
As we celebrate all things dessert this week, have your cake and eat it too at these five destinations because you dessert the best:
Melbourne’s very first Indian fusion dessert bar, Dessert Corner on Perpetual Street in Truganina is the place to head for bite-sized happiness. Lovingly fusing traditional desserts with an Indian twist, this one-stop sweet treat shop delivers temptations that are 100% vegetarian-friendly, with no traces of egg, gelatin or alcohol.
Every batch is made from scratch and the packaging is also Mother Earth-approved; think creamilious cassata with flavours like choco orange, tropical and tropical rose, or kesar pista ice cream to go with pistachio tres leches milk cake.
Offering breathtaking views across Great Oyster Bay to the beautiful Freycinet National Park, Kate’s Berry Farm in Swansea is a must-visit…and a must taste. Located on Tasmania's stunning east coast, Kate’s Berry Farm is well known for its Just Desserts Cafe, which serves irresistible homemade delights and of course desserts.
Devour melt-in-the-mouth freshly baked scones accompanied by Kate's own jams and freshly whipped cream, or perhaps fresh fruit pies with housemade rich, creamy vanilla bean ice cream.
Perth sweet tooths seeking the home of healthy desserts made from plant-based, refined sugar, gluten and dairy-free ingredients head down Mulgul Road in Malaga to find Crunchbox. As well as an onsite café, this family-owned and operated plant-based dessert company supplies cafes, grocery stores and other businesses around WA with delicious sweet treats to tempt all tastes; you can also order online and have decadence arrive on your doorstep.
Spoil yourself with a salted caramel slice or tahini Trix bar – shortbread-like filling and a gooey tahini caramel layer, coated in handmade raw chocolate, topped with almonds.
For a cafe that’s free of gluten but full of goodness, head to Gluten Free Heaven on Gold Coast Highway in Broadbeach. The brainchild of chocolatier and cake decorator Tanya Filak, who along with her daughter, is a coeliac, this café boasts indoor and outdoor dining, cabinets overflowing with temptations and a delicious high tea option, along with 13 gourmet pie choices.
Treat yourself to the ultimate high tea indulgence with tropical pavlova, chocolate brownie, lemon meringue tart and spiced apple cinnamon scroll, along with Devonshire scones, jam, cream and savoury temptations.
Inspired by Mexican flavours and traditions, come and explore the Victorian Georgian beauty that is No 92 Wine Bar and Restaurant on Glebe Point Road in Glebe. Once a private investigator’s office, this renovated elegant terrace venue oozes charm with whitewashed walls, open fireplaces and an eclectic mix of accents.
After a main of char-grilled prawns, chipotle sauce, fermented green tomato and katsuobushi, feed your decadent side with mandarin cheesecake, crunchy brioche and cumquat compote, or spiced sponge cake, burnt apple cream, walnuts and Kakadu plum.
