Cakes, doughnuts, pretzels, chocolate… there’s something to be said about getting sweet treats delivered to your door, rather than slaving over a hand mixer and an hour or two in the oven. Plus, when you get these things delivered, it’s infinitely easier to clean up. So here we are – some of Melbourne’s finest desserts that can be delivered right to your doorstep.
Earl Canteen always seems to know what we need during a lockdown. Since the first lockdown of 2020, the business has been making and delivering Earl at Home packs to keep Melbourne residents deliciously nourished.
It's been a hot minute, but those Earl at Home packs are back, as are Earl Canteen cookie dough logs. You can now get 1.2 kilogram logs of ready-to-bake cookie dough delivered to your house – for regular fans of Earl Canteen, this is the same tasty dough that you've had baked, when buying a cookie to go with your lunchtime sanga or salad. If 1.2kgs is too much cookie for you (lol), then you can also opt for a 500g log.
The 1.2kg logs come in two flavours (choc chip and walnut, and coconut and lime zest), while the 500g logs come in five flavours (the two aforementioned, plus marshmallow, cherry, toasted coconut, choc chip; espresso coffee, savoiardi, chocolate, mascarpone and PX (Pedro Ximénez); and vegan coconut, chia and cranberry). Every order also comes with baking instructions, though the number of baked cookies you end up with depends largely on how disciplined you are. Hey, it's lockdown and we will not be judged nor will we be judging.
You can order the logs individually ($15-$22), or as part of one of the Earl at Home packs.
