Here are some more of Adriano Zumbo's Summer collection . They weren't in the store when I got my first fix, but one of the benefits of living local is being able to drop into the patisserie when the mood strikes. And it strikes, oh, a couple of times a week... First, we have 'Alessia, I like big buns' . I saw this on the Zumbo description sheet and was fascinated by the name most...

One of us slumps back on the seat. Another sips water slowly. I groan and clutch my stomach. We did it. We went to Adriano Zumbo 's patisserie on his special Macaron Day to celebrate his birthday, and we tried one of every flavour that was available. 48 macarons later , I felt like I had a macaron baby in my tummy. That night, I had nightmares of macarons coming to eat me - Revenge of...

In my opinion, the main point of differentiation with Adriano Zumbo Patissier's cakes is the incredible variety and combination of flavours.
