I was given a orange cake from Le Croissant (1204 Toorak Road, Camberwell) yesterday. It was magnificent... I even loved the box and am going to keep it (repurposing it for cards/knick-knacks, because it is so pretty and a good size for storing things). Orange cake has a very strong orange peel flavour (which I like... it makes it seem less sweet... almost savoury).
I have heard about this shop and driven past it many times, but am yet to visit... This cake has made me want to visit even more. I am not able to make cakes like that... so even and neatly decorated... I am definitely more of the rustic cook than the fancy pastry chef... This cake definitely had the WOW factor...
I have moved the candied orange on the cake (for ease of cutting)... it looked even better before.
