THE TREATS ARE SWEET
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS…
…is Sweet Soul’s signature Christmas cake! Available only in the month of December in-store, it’s the festive staple you need on your side when feeding the troops around the silly season. The chefs at Sweet Soul have spent months perfecting this authentic recipe, and the result is a very well-balanced mix of sweetness, fresh citrus flavours and even a hint of premium rum. Each cake is infused with plenty of secret tricks that only Sweet Soul’s team know. How mysterious! Grab one and let us know how delicious it is.
CINFUL
South Town Club is amongst the best café offerings in the central city; with a modern, delicious food menu and the nicest team to boot, you’ll have a new regular brunch spot in no time. When you’re there, take our word for it, and order one of their cinnamon scrolls. These are absolutely smothered in citrus icing, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get one still warm. Perfect mid-morning snack with coffee number three. Or is it four?
BUTTER’S BUCHE
Butter’s table centrepiece for the festive season is the famed bûche de Noël – a yule time tradition in France, with a decidedly Butter-esque twist for the Kiwi palate. This is an artful display of an almond praline crémeux, wrapped up in a handmade choux sponge roulade and slathered in a milk chocolate mousse. This is a perfect option to replace the classic Chrissy trifle this year. Pre-orders are open now.
NOUGAT NOMS
As always, our friends at Ballantynes are your one-stop-shop for stocking stuffers. Why not give your loved ones a touch of decadence in their present pile with this smooth, creamy nougat from Bramble and Hedge? This latest flavour release has arrived in-store and is filled with candied pear, caramel, nuts, and honey. It’s a sweet treat for a special person. And you know what, perhaps that person is you?!
