647 Chapel St, South Yarra
Okay, we're been back to B&P multiple times (almost every week, so maybe it's a good thing it's out of our way in South Yarra) now so I thought I might as well compile the previous visits into one post rather than a few scattered around. First two visits are here and here.
Date visited: 25th August 2012
Being on Toorak Road just a week later, we just couldn't resist popping around the corner to Burch & Purchese yet again. Today, we decided to get the Smoked white chocolate, Coffee, Aniseed and Lemon cake.
Presentation had been nicer but it had been lying on it's side in the box on the way home |
This was yet another amazing creation. I loved tasting every layer separately and then marvelling at how all the complex flavours came together. It was the perfect blend of rich sweetness from the smoked white choc cream and tanginess of the lemon curd, complemented by the flavours of aniseed and coffee. B&P also does texture so, so perfectly in my book. Mum loved it so much she ended up having the whole thing. I hadn't heard her say "this cake is so good" that many times in five minutes (LOL) and was already talking about ordering a big one for a family member's upcoming birthday XP
Strawberry meringue cloud $5 |
Right now, B&P can do no wrong in our eyes - I can't wait to try more of those amazing creations!

We had a craving for pork ribs so we went to TGIF and of course couldn't resist visiting B&P again (hey, we needed to stock up for dessert tonight LOL).
Our stash |
I've mentioned before I'm not a huge fan of deconstructed stuff (I rather eat an actual cake, because I love texture) but I'm so so tempted by pretty things. The description sounded amazing and the explosive milk chocolate & raspberry did look very alluring to the eye with the warm, rich chocolate browns and eye popping reds. However, after tasting the other amazing desserts put out by B&P, this was probably the least impressive of the lot.
Coconut, Passionfruit, Ginger and Mint
Coconut mousse/ passionfruit curd/ coconut caviar/ passionfruit jelly/ salted oat & ginger crumble/ white chocolate mint wafer/ brilliant white chocolate spray |
Milk chocolate & mango cream/ coconut meringue/ Jamaican ginger cake/ mango cream/ milk chocolate sponge/ mango custard/ chocolate gingerbread teddy |
Chocolate, Mandarin, Salted Caramel
Kendari 69% chocolate mousse/ Murray River salted caramel/ burnt mandarin cream/ St Clements marmalade/ aerated chocolate shortbread/ chocolate mirror glaze |
Overall great desserts and good value for money too, at $9 per piece.
My favourites would definitely be the Raspberry, White chocolate, Honey & Lychee cake, which is seriously one of the best cakes I've ever tasted and the Smoked White Chocolate, Aniseed, Coffee and Lemon. I would recommend it to anyone next time you're looking for a birthday or celebration cake or if you're like us and love having a cake in the fridge to satisfy your sweet tooth :)
