Mother’s Day is right around the corner and not only is this a chance to celebrate the incredible mother figures in our lives, it is a great opportunity to indulge (any excuse will do!) When only the best will do, it is hard to look past the exquisitely crafted peach mousse cake from Éclair at the Bay.
Nestled in the heart of Byron Bay, this delightfully quaint patisserie packs a flavourful punch. Known for transforming local, high-quality produce into beautiful confections you can take a moment for some culinary self-care every time you step through the iconic blue doors. Think modern takes on French classics (the red craquelin still haunts our dreams with its fine mousseline cream, strawberry coulis and its biscuity ‘crack’) right through to their own stunning creations.Enter the peach mousse cake.
While the demand will hopefully see this become a permanent fixture on the menu, it is currently an exclusive edition purely for Mother’s Day. Lovingly designed to make Mother’s Day truly memorable this is nothing short of a masterpiece of flavour. Soft, whisper-like peach mousse offers a delicate flavour, layered with luscious peach compote.At its heart, a smooth vanilla crème brûlée offers a rich counterpoint to the airy mousse, while the moelleux sponge adds a lighter-than-air base. Each bite is a melody of flavours and textures, from the crunchy pistachio streusel to the outer coating of velvety chocolate velour. Visually speaking, the cake looks too good to eat, but good luck keeping the fork out of your hands.
In the spirit of the day dedicated to honouring and uplifting those women who play huge roles in our lives, why not embrace the opportunity to express your appreciation with something uniquely delicious?
