On a recent sunny Sunday afternoon, a girlfriend and I cured
ourselves from post-museum low blood sugar with an overdose of sugar.
Our first stop was LuxBite in South Yarra for some
deliciously pretty macarons ($22 box of 8). The macarons were fairly good but
not as amazing as some (Duncan’s, Josephine’s, La Belle Miette). The highlights
for me were the rose & lychee and the heilala crème brullee.
Our next stop was the sugary wonderland of Burch & Purchese Sweet Studio (also in South Yarra). The sweet studio is full of
beautiful and imaginative cakes and sweets that make eyes bigger than stomachs
and delight the senses.
The blackcurrant ‘cloud’ ($5) was the most amazingly
flavourful meringue I’ve tasted.
The coconut, passionfruit, ginger and mint desert ($9) was a
sophisticated and complex combination of flavours presented in layers.
I’ll definitely be returning to Burch and Purchese to try
their other delights.
