Gluten-Free Vanilla Choc-Chip Cake with Dark Chocolate Aero Ganache
While fresh, delicious and light, Crepe Town charged R50 for their standard crepe with filling, and an extra R10 to add fruit/nuts. Definitely not worth R60, as they certainly do not spread your chosen filling generously. The choice of fillings and toppings was also very limited.
I made these beautiful cupcakes for my best friend’s birthday, and thought I’d put them up on my blog just for decorating inspiration.
Knead Bakery and Cafe makes a wide range of confectionary items, including cakes, brownies, tarts, cookies, pastries, and no-bake slices like rocky roads. Everything looked scrumptious, and it was quite daunting to make a choice. When I did, I made sure to go for something sweet, and something sour. This place is definitely one of my favourite dessert spots I’ve tried so far.

I created my sandwich with rainbow cookies and black vanilla bean ice-cream.
Their ice-cream is a bit too thin, although mine had delicious flavour. Crumbs and Cream could definitely improve on their ice-cream recipes, making them more decadent. My cookies were chewy in the middle, but a little crumbly around the edges. Overall, it was an enjoyable treat, but not the best ice-cream sandwich I’ve had in my life. A bit underwhelming because they have great aesthetic.
You’ll likely notice a a few stand-out food items when scrolling through your social media feeds. These tend to be over-the-top, extravagant confectionary items lending particular attention to form and colour. Fortunately, sugar seekers can rejoice as these concepts reach the Cape Townian coast.

New York Cheesecake
Very creamy and incredible rich texture with overtone of vanilla. However, this simply wasn’t a New York style baked cheesecake. Not at all what the menu suggests. The biscuit base is thin, and fresh blueberries cut the richness of the cream. It’s absolutely delicious, but definitely more of a Creme Fraiche tart than a New York cheesecake. In fact, I question whether it’s been baked at all.
