What do you do when you’ve had too many cupcakes?
You move on to other pastries!
Mr. Taste and I were delighted to hear that Sweetness the Patisserie had opened up in our neck of the woods. Our market goer friends have long raved about Gena Karpf’s delectable pastries and sweets.
But not only has she picked up a cultish following for her mallow squares, toffees and shortbread, Gena has also won silver and gold medals at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show.
Sweetness' Cakes of the Day
The storefront is as cute as the name suggests. Shelves are lined with fresh nougat, slices, cakes and marshmallows. A sample of the day’s pastries are plated at the window front, surely to entice any curious passers by.
Cute as a button!
Little bags of marshmallows to go!
Marshmallow Squares
On our particular visit, we decide to go with the chocolate shortbread (thanks to Steph @ Raspberri Cupcakes) and the upside down blueberry cake.
The chocolate shortbread is wonderfully chocolaty but not overly buttery or sweet.
Chocolate Shortbread Biscuit
The cake is an interesting concept but it is not quite as moist as I expected. I would have liked a few more juicy blueberries in the mix.

Isn’t the chocolate shortbread yummy? The ones I had were dipped in chocolate too, it made it even better…okay now I’m getting hungry talking about it! I love their marshmallows but they’re a bit expensive so it’s only something I treat myself to on a rare occasion!
