Chocolate heaven for chocoholics like myself. Chocolate muffins, slice, cakes, toppings. It is all good and beautifully presented. It is tucked right down the end of the strip and I think it might get overlooked a little. It is true you do pass a number of café's and food places before you get to it. I find the shop really stylish and they have irresistible treats.

I like to pick up a loaf of bread sometimes on a weekend. It is hard not to be tempted by the other treats lining the glass counter such as pink iced buns, chocolate éclairs and decorated cakes. The staff are friendly and efficient and I am a fan of the bread. It is a bakery after all, enough said.

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.

The Ormiston Bakery has heaps for under $5 like breads, buns, coffee and even fruit salad. So far, I have not bought anything that hasn't been fresh and tasty. I really like their white bread plus every time I go, they is always a lot of temping looking chocolate slices and baked sweets that try to sway me and usually do if it is in the afternoon.

On the tables out front there's always a good selection of bun loaves and savoury bread loaves, scones and cakes, but that's not all... inside the counters, not only is the bread good, but it's a great place to buy a huge, stacked, salad roll or sandwich. In winter the pies are hard to resist too after a walk along the windy harbour.

I'm salivating just thinking about it! I really wanted the steak, bacon and cheese pie but they ran out of it so I opted for the steak and cheese pie ($4.40). It was so delicious! There were actual steak pieces in the pie! I wish this place wasn't so far away!

I have never been a fan of Brumby's or Baker's Delight with their jam and cream buns, cheesymite…read morescrolls and date scones. I prefer to go to specialist patisseries for baked goods and breads. Bumbleebee Bakery at Eight Mile Plains is the exception to the rule. As a bakery, it does a mean trade on meat pies, sausage rolls and those nasty, artery blocking jam and cream buns. There are also some scrumptious cakes and macaroons available. The macaroons are $2.20 each or six for $13. They come in an assortment of flavours and the fillings are more buttery than creamy. There is also a small Chinese baked goods section with sweet breads filled with red bean paste, BBQ pork buns and coconut buns. It's sort of like a sampler selection from Breadtop. To top it off, the staff are always friendly and cheerful. Usually they're out the back whipping up fresh new cakes but will immediately bustle out as soon as you ring the bell. What more can one ask from a neighbourhood bakery? Bumblebee gets five out of five from me for being the first decent bakery on Brisbane's far South side.
