Sugar Plum Cake Shop has been open for decades and sells yummy cakes, pastries, pies and sausage…read morerolls. Everything is reasonably priced and the sweet treats in the window are incredibly tempting when you walk past the display. It's an old school style patisserie and the owners are incredibly friendly and sweet! The two co-owners regularly asks how you are as they prepare your food. Sugar Plum Cake Shop is the perfect place to stop by if you have a sweet tooth. The meringues, sausage rolls and chocolate eclairs are extra good! They also custom make cakes upon request for special occasions. There is also plenty of variety in the store. Drinks are also available but are limited to soft drink, water and flavoured milk. While the pastries are nothing special, they are still good when you want a quick bite to eat.

We found Sydney's cutest cream puffs at the Doux Amour pop-up located in the Queen Victoria…read moreBuilding! We needed to indulge in one last treat before leaving the land down under and these cute animal choux were perfect. Doux Amour hand crafts these adorable little guys into sharks, koalas, and more! Each animal themed pastry is filled with a light custard cream and then flavored with an array of tastes like matcha powder, black sesame, blueberry jam, etc. A must try for any kid or kid at heart!

I was looking for something in the area to redeem the lackluster ice cream dessert that I purchased…read morefrom another business in the same building. These cream puffs caught my eye because I'd been following the baker and his work for years on Instagram, so even though each cream puff was a lofty $7.50, I decided to get one! I ordered the earl grey koala cream puff after much contemplation. Unfortunately, I found it disappointing. While it was really cute, the choux was rather bland and the earl grey cream didn't have much flavor either. If you want an additional photo for your foodstagram, this is the place to go. Otherwise, I'm sure there are tastier dessert options to satisfy your sweet tooth in the area!

But with a little dessert, trust me it is completely worth it.

Hungarian donut? Cone of deliciousness? Kürtösh? Call it what you want but it's so good!…read more My friend recommended the hazelnut Kürtösh but the pistachio one looked so good that I did what any normal person would do... got both! I preferred the pistachio Kurtosh. The hazelnut one was like candy on top of the cone and very crunchy like candy. These are made to order so take around 10 or 15 minutes. Not really ideal for a grab and go but was worth the stop. They have a ton of other pastries as well that are pay by the pound. The kurtosh was really good, especially with coffee. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if nearby I would definitely go again.

It's quite good. Honestly, I'd say forget the pastry twister and go one of the Slab Cakes instead. Oh, so good! So far, my favourite has been the Catastrophe Flourless Choc Cake. Or mayyyybe actually the Lemon Crumble Cheesecake. Pretty much mention Mum's Chocolate Cake and I'm ready to trip someone over for a bite! If you can't choose, you could order a sliver of each and call it day. This is the best bit about Kurtosh - everything is sold by weight, and there's no minimum (or maximum) for what you buy. So you can literally order a sliver each of four kinds of cake. Hoorah! Extra bonus: open late so you can pop in for after dinner dessert.

I do not know anything about Greek Cakes, but I do know about eating cakes and cake shops. However…read moreI have never seen a cake shop like this, I was blown away, it was truly the most amazing cake shop I have ever walked into. The window alone of this shop had more cakes than most cake shops have in the whole shop and inside was just like cake overload, there were cakes everywhere and they all looked beautiful and to die for, The cakes were surprisingly reasonable in price, many around $30 which considering the enormity of them and the level of their decoration was great value. I couldn't resist buying a huge cream caramel served in a rectangular foil takeaway tin. YUM. Check it out.

Yeah, its pretty good…read more And as advertised - a cake shop with some Greek influence. The window has a lot of alluring produce - some pretty impressive cake making. When you go inside, there a pretty nice woman at the counter, who I'm wondering might be Eleni; not sure. Either way, the place has both cakes for parties and events and a some small stuff to eat now as you're passing. And there's a few bit-sized deserts like Turkish delights and baklava and the like, either for now or to buy in bulk to cater for an event. I'm not cake buff, but the place seems nice, and if you're in need to cater for an event, and maybe with a bit more variety or theme, then I would recommend stopping by to see whats available. It has the catering feel to it, so I'd be looking in if I were organising a party.

Shortly after riding the ferry over to Manly, we stopped by Rollers for pastries and coffee to…read morestart our morning. They close at 2:00P, so we wanted to get there early and choose from the full selection. I loved their display of baked goods which are all lined up neatly into perfect arrays. Racks of the pastries were right behind the counter, including both sweet and savory options. The employee manning the front was so warm and seemed happy to help answer our questions about the day's offerings. She said the most popular item all year round is their almond croissant, filled with an almond frangipane, but her personal favorite at the time was the seasonal Hazelnut Praline Brioche. Given that this is something you don't see at any ordinary bakery, I couldn't resist and you could say she talked me into it! My second choice would have been their handheld apple pie with its perfect lattice and caramelized sugar on top. The HAZELNUT PRALINE BRIOCHE (A$12) was essentially a light airy donut filled with a smooth chocolate hazelnut cream that tasted like a Ferrero Rocher. The amount of filling was generous and oozed out with every bite... I could have eaten spoonfuls of the filling just by itself! A slightly crunchy praline crumb topping gave it a crisp cap. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of this brioche as it wasn't too rich nor too sweet. I also got a flat white coffee which was good, hot and paired nicely with my brioche. My mom got their seasonal lemon monkey bread which she said was just okay. It didn't have that cinnamon gooeyness that one would normally expect in this type of dessert. Similarly, they also offered a lemon vanilla custard tart which my sister enjoyed. Oddly, it was labeled only as a "vanilla tart" on the display, which is a little misleading, especially for anyone who's not a fan of citrus. This cafe has a nice open air seating area with ample space, a couple seats at the coffee counter and some seats outside. Most of the tables were already occupied by the time we arrived, so we sat outside. With the cafe being located in an alleyway, we were able to savor our pastries in the morning sun without any cars or traffic whizzing by. What a lovely way to begin our day in Manly!
