Best Pastries in Brisbane City

"After taking a sabbatical from butter, eggs and flour, Brisbane’s dessert doyenne Jocelyn Hancock returned to the city’s sweet treats scene with Cake & Bake. Given the store’s West End location, it seems only fitting the brownies are a little bit hippie with swirls of halva and Tahini, but this only makes you love them more. There is a menu featuring desserts such as light-as-a-feather Paris Brest and a honey soaked and toasted almost slice or you can ogle the glass cabinet and take home a treat."
