If you’re familiar with Little Bird Organics, you’ll know that each and every item on their menu is delicious. I’ve been making a point of trying something new from their dessert cabinet each time I go, and this time it was the Strawberry Cheesecake & the Passionfruit Cheesecake (both $9/slice). One of the best things…

Cake & Co in Ponsonby
After having lunch in Ponsonby the other day, I was on the hunt for something sweet and came across Cake & Co on Ponsonby Road. Since opening in December last year, Cake & Co has been making a name for themselves by only using fresh, natural ingredients and catering to many dietary restrictions. Here you…
Treats from Little & Friday
I’ve always loved bananas, but up until recently, I only liked eating them by themselves in their natural state. I wouldn’t touch a dessert that contained banana, but now I love them in desserts. I don’t know why the change, maybe I can put it down to getting older?! Anyway, I had read somewhere that…
Cookies & Cream Cheesecake from Little Bird Unbakery
Every time I go to Little Bird Unbakery I always have a hard time choosing what to get. The display cabinet of desserts is teeming with beautiful, bright colours and it really is hard to just pick one item. This time I chose the Cookies & Cream Cheesecake ($9) and I’m so happy I did….
Ginger Crunch from Wild Wheat

S’more Doughnuts at Macaron Parlour
It took me 3 tries to buy a S’more doughnut from Macaron Parlour. The first time I went on a weekday. The staff informed me that the S’more doughnut is only available on Saturdays. The second time I went on a Saturday afternoon, they had sold out. So this week, I went in there totally…
Chocolate & Passion Fruit Combined at Maison Kayser
It took me a solid few minutes to decide which treat to purchase from Maison Kayser. Known as one of France’s best bakers, Eric Kayser has over 80 locations of his patiserrie/boulangerie/cafe around the world. I feel privileged to be able to sample some of his creations with three of them now in New York…
