Best thing since sliced bread

I’m so not a fan of a plain old sammich with jam or similar..booooring. But a cakewich, now you’re talking!

Cool cake pan from those crazy folks at Fred. Bakes your cake to look like sliced bread. Just fill with some yummy icing.

Now imagine unwrapping that for your lunch at work! (we probably don’t recommend actually substituting your regular sammich with a cakewich..not everyday anyway)
Another nifty item in their new range are these cut tea cupcake moulds.

Rainbow cake!

Don’t think about the amount of icing, or the amount of work that must have gone into making this. Just enjoy the view:

Sara Lee Cheesecake minis

saraleeIf you’re on a diet, or pretending to be… best you not read any further.

Sara Lee’s new Minis – baked cheesecake bites. Itty bitty bits of cheesecake, so you can have a little taste and not feel guilty by having a whole piece. The idea sounds good…in theory.

Spotted an ad for these a last week and have been having an inner-discussion with myself every time I go to the shop, “yes, you should buy them”…”no you don’t really need them”. Finally, “I could try them and blog about them!” and the fact they were on special at Woollies today won.

Grabbed some strawberry and chocolate ones. There is also classic and caramel. They come packaged in two little tubs of 18 pieces, is this a serving size suggestion? They are made to be eaten straight from the freezer?

Let’s just say, they are bloody yum, and good luck stopping at one…or three.

A slice of Chocolate heaven

I don’t think there were too many Aussies who didn’t watch and get totally hooked on the ch10 reality show Masterchef.chocmoussecake

One of the highlights of the show was patissier extraordinaire Adriano Zumbo and is amazing creations like his crockenbush and chocolate mousse cake, that have become somewhat of a household name.

Adriano is now giving you a chance to get your hands on one of his amazing Masterchef chocolate mousse cakes!

Adriano is making a limited edition run of 100 Chocolate Mousse Cakes for sale to the public.

Due to the popular nature of these now infamous cakes, customers will be drawn at random from a ballot system and be given the option to purchase the cake for $90.00.

5% of the proceeds will be donated to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Last week he also held an auction for a crockenbush and a slice of chocolate mousse cake. He raised over $1000 and all proceeds went to The Children’s Hospital.

Simply email your FULL NAME and a contact number to gimmecake@adrianozumbo.com and you could be in the running to buy one!

Anyone care to buy one and share a slice? Check out Adriano’s site for more details.
