Bow & Daisy are high on my list of quality bakeries & cup cakes in Brisbane. Having purchased…read moretheir cakes several times now, they've been consistently fresh and flavoursome, light and fluffy, and offering many combinations of flavours. They are friendly and helpful and it's always a delight to purchase from them. I highly recommend buying from them, although I'm not aware of them having a store, they are always available from markets around town or ordering, and if you're lucky, keep an eye out, you might catch them in town at the One Eleven building on Eagle Street on a weekday selling their goodies :) Memorable cupcakes we've sampled are the cafe latte - injected with coffee and topped with a choc covered coffee bean, and the bannoffee - a banana caramel and cream cupcake with fresh bananas!

Walking past the old bakery that I never paid much attention to after buying that dodgy meat pie…read more.. I was surprised to see it taken over by this beautiful French patisserie. The first thing that caught my eye - almond croissant with toasted crunchy extra and beautifully moist almond meal interior... I was immediately hooked and will be back everyday to make my way through the delicious French treats.

Before you even think about coming here...go for a run or...I don't know...stop eating for a few…read moredays, you will soon find out why. I once called in just to get a quiche which is ridiculous because that's probably the last thing this business is known for (it was amazing for your information), and walked out with 3 slices of cake, 3 Banoffe pies and 4 tarts. I took half of them home and the other half to Uni with me and before I could even explain to everyone what they were, they were gone. The Welsh Lady is a deceptive temptress who lures you in with her unassuming shop front, tucked away in Rosalie and STEALS YOUR WALLET AND YOUR WAISTLINE! Eventually returning both, one thinner, the other thicker (I'll let you guess which is which). Everything they bake here makes you want to quit life and die from a decadent, gluttonous overdose of sugary wonderment. Specializing in cakes to order they have everything you can imagine and more. Words can't do this place justice, so if you are wanting the perfect wedding or birthday cake, or simply just something sweet for any type of celebration The Welsh Lady should be your first port of call. P.S The Banoffe pies are out of this world, go now and get yourself one before they are deemed illegal.

I can divide everyone I know into two categories: those who like chocolate cake and those who like…read moreplain vanilla cake. Personally, I fall into the vanilla cake category but the Welsh Lady is the only cake shop that has the ability to make me question my allegiance to Team Vanilla. If you're a fan of chocolate cake, the muddier, richer, and more decadent the better, then the Welsh Lady is your holy grail. Her deep, dark mud cakes are so moist and dense that it's almost like she's mixed dark chocolate mousse into the batter. Most of my friends fall into Team Chocolate and I've become very used to being served a piece of chocolate birthday cake at parties and leaving it on the plate half finished. A couple of years ago at a dear friend's 21st I watched the cake be presented with a flourish. Chocolate again, I thought. I had to admit that it was a beautiful looking cake, covered in huge, elaborate chocolate curls and sprouting sparkly butterflies and stars on silver stems but I didn't expect my tastebuds to enjoy it as much as my eyes were. After one bite of the cake I knew there'd be no half-eaten leftovers on my plate this time. Through a mouthful of mud cake I demanded to know where my friend had gotten such a cake. 'MULSH NADY' she replied, her mouth was just as full as mine. 'Huh?'. She swallowed her chocolate-y mouthful and said 'Welsh Lady'. I nodded, swallowed, and went back for seconds.

Upon walking in to Le Bon Choix my first thought was that the white, mcwhite, on white, with white, more white than an Apple Store, plus white decor didn't really do them any favours. It feels a little like an expensive 7-11. Also, the presentation of their food (particularly the non-sweets) on the white benches is not overly appetising. The dried melted cheese on the croissants does nothing for the romance of "freshly reheated". Having said all this, however, I had a chicken ciabatta and it was freaking delicious. A really nommy mix of herbs in the mayo. So if you don't mind them trying to be France In The Future Without The Jump Suits it's worth a quick bite. Just don't go out of your way. PS A store of people speaking in French accents can never get below 3 stars. It's like a rule or something.

It's worth the adventure into the depths of Newmarket, even if just for the French accent that will greet you if one do the owners are working that day. Having visited a few times now I'm always tempted by the mini pain au raisins or chocolate croissants. It gives the illusions that it's less calories but with all the taste of a full-size version.

I'll have to take their work on it. When you look though the display cabinets a vast array of all sweets, made in store, tempt you to indulge in the fine sugary creations of Gerbinos. Behind the counter there is a range of different loaves of bread that should be purchased to reminisce on later. The coffee they make there is pretty on point especially when consumed with a the torte filled with chocolate and vanilla custard between layers of soft sponge. Dear lord do I need to say more? Yes I do. In addition to the cakes, sweets, breads and coffee, there is an Australian favorite at the end in a hot cabinet. Gerbino's meat pies are a fast selling item in the store, especially the plain mince. Don't be surprised if you arrive after lunch and they're all gone.

I go there sometimes for a loaf of crusty bread for a dinner party or enjoy some dolci (sweets) in store with a authentic cappuccino. My favourite treat is his Limoncello shortbread. Delizioso! Salvatore also does some visually and gastronomically delightful whole cakes for special occasions, like his Easter Columbo cakes (in the shape of a peace dove) or his 'Agnello Pasquale' - a tableaux of marzipan lamb, also a traditional Easter cake. The cafe also offers a range of sandwiches at reasonable prices, making it quite popular with the local student contingent. The cafe itself is spacious without losing its sense of homely Italian hospitality. Amateur linguists might even want to try practising their Italian with Salvatore.

Chocolate made in-house is a definite selling point, and they do a side trade in cakes that look like works of art (and are also priced like works of art).

The handful of tables at the other edge of the sidewalk were noticeably more pleasant than the line itself!
