HANDY CANDY
KOMPOST COOKIES
Don’t be put off by the name – this is a supremely delicious, ‘collective cookie’ that traditionally uses a myriad of pantry leftovers, resulting in a tasty cookie where no two are the same. The Pantry at Ballantynes has honed in the ‘Kompost Cookie’ recipe to include dried fruit, nuts, and various other delicious morsels. Perfect for a mid-winter dunk in a hot tea.
COOKIE PIES
Riverside Market’s Moustache Cookie Bar has a solid reputation for bringing delicious cookie inventions to our city- namely the Cookie Pie. Grab a pack (yes, a pack!) of Nutella and Caramilk cookie pies and satiate even the gnarliest of sweet teeth. Each pie has a gooey Caramilk or Nutella centre. These freeze well, meaning you can have Moustache whenever the fancy takes you.
CAKE POPS
By far the coolest looking cake pop on the local market right now, The Cake Eating Co’s Geometric Cake Popsicle is a striking, quirky alternative to your traditional sweet treat. These are cake and buttercream smashed together and moulded into a cake popsicle shape. They are then dipped in coloured white chocolate and topped with gold leaf, splatter or sprinkles. You can even personalise them!
THE CLASSICS RETURN
June means Sweet Soul’s cabinet will be a blend of new desserts using seasonal ingredients. There are also a few throwback desserts from Sweet Soul’s first year in business, a trio that has been frequently requested. Come reacquaint yourself with the Montagne Noir, Caramel Pear, and Snickers. Die-hard Sweet Soul fans can rejoice with the return of these iconic flavours, and for those new to the prettiest patisserie’s powers, it’s a fabulous opportunity to taste a few of the classics that put the place on the map.
