Sweet Streets (formerly known as Short Sweet Bakery),Parramatta

HAPPY EASTER PEEPS! The Easter Holiday is one of my favourite holidays because of the extended longweekend and of course, hot cross buns. The smell of cinnamon, mixed spice and currents makes my bodyfilled with warmth and the tip of my fingers tingle with excitement.

Sweet Street (formerly known as Short Sweet Bakery) prepares a batch of hot cross buns each day duringthe lead up to Easter. The bakery is simple but cosy. There is a huge variety of cakes available especiallygiven its size so just a heads up for some upcoming cake porn, starting with...

For those that know me, I barely have a sweet tooth but THIS honeycomb cake blew me away. It looks sosexy yet dangerous. THIS honeycomb cake was seriously the bomb. At first I was worried that it would beinsanely sweet but surprisingly, it was just right. The honeycomb was chewy but still crunchy on theoutside which is exactly the way I like it.

LABELS

There have been many comparisons of the lamington between Flour and Stone and Sweet Streets as somepeople say either place is better. For me personally, I found there was slightly more panacotta filling thanFlour and Stone's buttttttt I will always prefer shaved over desiccated coconut. So it was definitely hard todecide which one was better. So it really comes down to what you prefer more: panacotta filling orcoconut shavings.

I think this must of been the first time I have tried proper marshmallow (i.e. it wasn't out of an off-the-shelf packet from woolies) and I can tell you now, there is a huge difference in the quality of themarshmallows. The ones out of a packet taste artificial and extremely sweet but the ones from SweetStreet were so soft and jiggly! I loved it so much I decided to order a mocha and place a blop ofmarshmallow in it. The coco foam along with the marshmallows, together, melted so well in your mouth.

I have also never tasted cheesecake this light before. I even questioned as to whether it was even acheese cake to begin with. The secret? Try whipping this baby up for 2 freaking hours and you will soonwonder why it tasted so light.

Can you believe these tea cakes are only 12 BUCKS? I can barely get a decent lunch for twelve bucks tofeed myself let alone to buy a cake to share. These tea cakes might appear to be simple but that's whattea cakes are. They are meant to be the basic cake recipies that your nanna would whip up in theafternoon. I would definitely be back to pick up one of these babies on my way to work so I can have withmy cuppa tea as my afternoon treat.

Sweet Streets isn't a fancy cafe and that is probably the reason why I like it so much. It isn't pretentiousand the cakes are simple but tasty. The prices are definitely competitive and zomgosh, they have THAThoneycomb cake for sale. You just can't go wrong.

Gotta go eat!!

Food is our religion dined as a guest of Sweet Streets and Wasamedia.
