These cakes came as a result of an opportunist walk through the laneways en route to the tram stop on Elizabeth Street. Although the Italian restaurant aren’t known for their cakes, they do offer an array of sweets to temp passers by like me. At a whopping $11.70 for just the vanilla slice and the raspberry macaron, I didn’t feel too cheeky asking for a free iced coffee. To my surprise I actually got it too! - a result of a wrong order sent back and being in the right place at the right time. Disappointingly, the vanilla slice wasn’t fresh, you could see some slight discolouration of the custard upon close inspection and the flaccid and somewhat lifeless pastry did not ooze freshly baked. The whole thing was very average, and not worthy of the hefty price tag. Mrs B thoroughly enjoyed her raspberry cream macaron and I must admit a free iced coffee on a 30 degree day was a bonus. Not all bad bad.
