We've moved!

Hello!

We have a brand new stall at Salamanca Markets - right outside Fresh Fruit Market and sharing with Bruny Island Cheese.  We will no longer be trading at the Farm Gate Market.

Follow us on twitter or facebook to see what we're baking.

Farewell rhubarb

Throughout Spring our love of rhubarb has evolved into this little beauty...an anise, ricotta & rhubarb crumble cupcake.

Vanilla filled with blackcurrant curd, vanilla bean cream cheese frosting and a damson pastille star

Vanilla filled with sour cherry and a white chocolate buttercream 

We're now in the swing of the bumper summer fruit season and we're making the most of the fresh fruity flavours with lemon & gooseberry with red currants, fresh raspberry and white chocolate, fresh cherry brownies and rosy rhubarb. 

 And of course, the classic old fashioned chocolate, for those who like it dark.

Wedding cake

Rose cake filled with rhubarb and strawberry compote. Lush.

This Friday and Saturday we'll be at the gorgeously sweet St James Church selling our cakes at the most excellent  Mothers Market.

We'll be using rhubarb, gooseberries, strawberries, roses, meyer lemons, vanilla beans, fair trade chocolate, free range eggs and sweet creamy butter to bake a selection of the sweetest treats.

See you there!

Tomorrow we have billowy soft rose flavoured butter cake filled with rhubarb :: Heavenly.

Poached quinces in vanilla bean syrup. The base of the filling for our quince and chocolate cupcake.

Dulce de leche, confiture du lait or arequipe. Call it what you will, it's ready and waiting to be added to our brownies for this weekend's market.

It's a long but pleasurable process cooking this milk caramel. Litres of milk, a small amount of sugar and vanilla beans are simmered for hours resulting in this mild milky caramel. Not as sweet or cloying as caramel made from sugar and cream, it's the natural sugars in the milk that give it a luscious feel. And the sweet jersey milk from Tasmanian cows of course!
