Delish Cupcakes Review

By Mon of Delissimon

At the beginning of my diagnosis this little shop opened up in Forrest Hill and I've been getting daily Facebook updates on the daily flavours and events of the shop. I salivate everytime. Today for example their flavours for sale are banoffee, choc raspberry, vanilla filled with passionfruit, vanilla stawberry, caramel, choc bomb and JAFA. Sounds delish yeah?


This little shop is Delish Cupcakes.

I heard about these ladies last year when my dad went to the Auckland Food Show and came across the Delish Cupcakes stall. Their progress has been from friends who bake and decorate fantastic cupcakes together to actually opening up a beautiful shop with different flavours everyday. So I thought it was high time to get myself up to Forrest Hill to try them out.
And I wasn't disappointed.

I bought a chocolate with chocolate ganache cupcake and my niece Zara chose a lemon raspberry. Both came in these adorable wee boxes so they wouldn't get squished. The chocolate had a beautiful rich ganache with a lovely moist chocolate cake, and the lemon raspberry had a lemon curd filling with a creamy, sweet and slightly tangy raspberry buttercream which was absolutely delicious (I got to try both, as we left them in the car and forgot about them in our hurry to get Zara to the airport, so she missed out on eating her one....lucky me!). These gals know how to please a fussy cupcake lover like me!

Delish Cupcakes cater for weddings, birthdays, corporate functions, baby showers etc and you can even order online.

So if you are in the area - - then I suggest you pop in and have a squiz and try out a cupcake and a coffee. They also have a range of decorating products if you are inspired to go home and try decorating your own!

Best Boston Bakery

STORY BY PISTOL PETE, AN UNDERCOVER BLOGGER

It's 6:56am in our house in Mt Albert. The kids are up early and they're talking pink eyes or blue eyes, green noses or red noses?

Saturday mornings in our house means an all-important trip to the Boston Bakery.



The Boston Bakery is a fantastic bakery in Mt Albert with the best baguettes, pies and the all important Gingerbread Man. For special occasions there's custard slices, muffins and birthday cakes.

As soon as we're in the door, the kids scan through the options; green eyes, pink eyes, which one will they choose? The guys behind the counter love helping the kids and are always helpful to make sure the right one is selected.




As for me, today I choose three baguettes and when I get home what's left of them (we always have to eat some on the way home) they are bound for the frying pan and for the morning's eggy bread.

Boston Bakery could be the best bakery in Auckland. Or even New Zealand. It is in our house anyway!
