It is a fantastic place to go for cakes if you are entertaining at home or for a coffee and a croissant of a weekend morning.

There are a wide range of tasty and beautiful cupcakes to take away or eat in with a coffee and have a chat with friends.

Every time I have bought some of these they are a talking point at the get together. They are a good size so perhaps get two different one's and split them with your friend or date and you will get to try more. Simply Delicious.

So no matter which end of Chermside you're shopping in, you can get your Asian bakery fix.

And don't try and go backwards, it doesn't work.

I ordered a Taro cake 6" from the Chermside shop as a birthday cake. On the pickup day, right…read morebefore I went to the party, I picked up the cake and I was totally shocked. Firstly, the cake design was totally different from the photo provided in the cake shop. The cake in the photo was modern design but the cake delivered was nothing more than fruit cake in 20 years ago. Secondly, the blueberry shown on the photo was round and looked fresh but the delivered one which was shrink and looked frozen before. Needless to say about the texture which was subjective. As I need a Birthday cake for the party, I had no choice but to accept it. The girl in the shop insisted it was new design!! I definitely will not order anything from this shop again.

You will find something tol fulfill your every craving, from a passionfruit tart to lamb & rosemary pie to their candied walnuts. Thankfully their price tags prevent me from making decisions my metabolism will regret, though it means I haven't tried much of their offerings. On a special occasion, I called in to order a small flourless chocolate cake (34) - an easy choice when choosing for a chocolate lover. I was rather excited, as I'd never been able to justify going to Jocelyn's Provisions "just because." The flourless chocolate cake is a dense chocolate cake with chocolate nuts, and toffee and praline bits. Not having looked at the pictures too closely previously, we were all impressed with the sugar lattice on the cake. Although a bit of a strange combination to have paired chocolate with a sugar lattice (flavour-wise), it was a lovely touch to the cake. It says online that the small cake is for 6 people, but we managed to make eight pieces, with all of us being satisfied (and even having some difficulty finishing the cake after dinner at Siam Samrarn). Needless to say, that was one delicious rich and dense chocolate cake! Even though I tend to not be a fan of chocolate cakes - or just cakes in general - if you want a scrumptious and impressive looking cake, this is the place to go!

There are always people lingering in front of the long cabinet or sitting at the tables in here. It's always hard to choose what to get from the array of exquisite looking tarts and gateaux on display. The lemon meringue tarts are topped with cone of meringue about three times the height of the base and the Esperance gateau is so green it just about shimmers. On my latest trip to Le Bon Choix I had a strawberry tart and a flat white. The coffee was okay, maybe a B, but the strawberry tart was delicious and they didn't skimp on the strawberries. Le Bon Choix does individual tarts and cakes as well as croissants, eclairs and pain au chocolats but they also do full size cakes to take home and share (or not). Their opera cake looked tempting with it's perfectly lined layers and glistening top. I'm still a Chouquette girl at heart, but if I find myself on this side of town and in need of a pick-me-up, I'm always more than satisfied with a trip to Le Bon Choix.

No, I'm not five years old, but every time I pass a cupcake place, I definitely act like one. Generally, I almost throw a tantrum, as cupcakes are ALWAYS overpriced. But for a good reason here - they are just that darn tasty, they could charge millions for them and I'd still buy them (well...after I've taken out a loan). Snickers, Mars Bars, red velvet, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate fudge, strawberries and cream, cookies and cream, passionfruit and cherry flavoured cupcakes. And they're huge. The actual muffin itself is moist, and quite small, but the icing more than makes up for that. Literally doubling the size of the whole cupcake. If you make the tough decision to only buy one, and not the whole shop, then definitely grab the Cookie Monster. It must have been all of that cookie eating in his life which has made him delightfully tasty!

Stop what you're doing right now, stop eating that overpriced donut and get to Emily's Sweet Treat…read moreright now. Although, if I'm honest I want to keep this gem to myself. Emily's Sweet Treat is in a little set of food shops on Sandgate Road and unless you knew about it you probably would drive right past. What a horror that would be. Filled with absolutely beautiful looking sweets and a small brunch type menu this is a great place for afternoon tea. (n.b they also do a high tea!) I chose a flat white for my afternoon fuel up, which was really good and strong, plus a red velvet cupcake. Guys. GUYS. This Red Velvet cupcake is something else, the cake was fluffy and the icing was buttery but still light and delicious. I think I'm in love! I also got 2 macarons to take home because they looked incredible (and there was a 10$ EFTPOS minimum). All in all I can see myself going back here so many times, someone is definitely going to have to restrain me. Everyone else can keep their crazy donuts as long as I can keep returning here!

Perfect amount of vanilla, which so many places get wrong. Prices are good, just need to work on serving sizes.
