We’re calling it – this is the best cheesecake in Sydney. The velvety cream cheese filling is light as a feather, while the butter-rich crust is pleasingly robust. Just don’t try and eat this on the run, because she’s very delicate little thing.
Winner: Strawberry watermelon cake, Black Star Pastry
This cake never fails to be everything it's cracked up to be. Texturally it is perfection – light, fluffy rose-scented cream, softly crumbed almond dacquoise and crisp, juicy watermelon. The topping of jelly-like strawberry glaze, fresh strawberries, Iranian pistachios and rose petals complete what is truly a masterpiece of baking. Like Beyoncé, this cake just seems to get better and better, no matter how long it’s been around.
