Pantheon cakes!

I did say once that I was going to visit most of the sweet shops along Sydney Road. So yesterday I decided I was really carving cake so I headed to this wonderful Greek pastry/cake shop. Sitting in the displays were gorgeous cakes and desserts to die for...

I ended up just buying some of the basics staples including mudcake, nougat, baklava like pastries (not to good on the Greek here so not sure how to say it properly).

Everything here was very very yummy. My sister simply loved the mudcake. The price was very very reasonable but I guess it being Sydney Road means that they have to compete with everyone else that is around selling cheap. What you see here was all obtained for a cool $15...ohh did I mention that also included a small bag of cristollis which isn't pictured here. :D

After getting the delicious cakes and pastries decided to go and pay this place a visit. As I was a bit rushed for time, I didn't even up purchasing any groceries, but the range at this place is incredible. Just imagine a normal sized Coles/Safeway filled with European grocery items to delight all senses. Also there is a nice cellar in the middle stocking many imported wines. Ohh and forgot to mention there is a cafe/bakery section which has some of the best bread and cakes.

As I was a bit famished (at this stage I didn't actually eat any of the cakes bought from across the road), I decided to purchase a pastry from here. I bought a nut log which was only $2.20...great price! It was like nuts/sultana/filling stuffed between 2 layers of pastry and twisted then smothered in dusting sugar. Unfortunately I was too hungry to take any photos. It was really filling.

Next time I think I will be back to purchase a nice looking fresh ciabatta and some cannolis (the ricotta one sounds nice).

So at the end of the day, another two great places discovered on Sydney Road! And again not so good for my waistline but at least my taste buds are happy... :D
