Sweet Tooth
Hungry for something sweet? The name says it all. This Australian-run bakery whips up delectable originals, like carrot cake, red velvet cake and vanilla cheesecake – in addition to an assortment of cookies, cupcakes and muffins.
The oreo cheesecake is a tried-and-true favorite, but for something new, try the lamington – a soft, light cake with an outer layer of coconut shavings. Kids will also love their adorable cake pops, star-shaped brownies and rice krispie treats.
