Toblerone Tart - $4.20
Can be purchased individually from stores.
No description available online.

The pastry is soft, but still crisp. The filling is dreamy - another flavour of Baby Cakes frosting! - and has a dark chocolate layer at the bottom of the pastry cup.

There's not much I can say about this one - just go out and get it. It doesn't matter if you're not a fan of Toblerone chocolates - the flavour is not as intense as it looks to be.

Passionfruit Pavlova Cheesecake - $3.95
Can be purchased individually from stores.
No description available online.

The meringue is sweet, and crisp. There is a dollop of frosting on the top (I really do like their frosting!) as well as passionfruit sauce.

I love the fact that this is actually a cheesecake. I thought it was a cupcake with a cheesecake-like topping.

The cheesecake is smooth, sweet (but not too sweet), but a little on the heavy side. The passionfruit adds the crunch to the cake.

There is a thin biscuit base along the bottom, but I only noticed this at the end.

Low Fat Wildberry Bakes Cheesecake - $4.80
Available for purchase from stores.

The pastry is too thick for my liking.

It has lots of colour, and isn't as smooth as 'regular' cheesecakes, but it's not as lumpy as most ricotta cheesecakes either. Not too strong in flavour or sweetness.

It's not a light dessert.

Very crumbly, falls apart easily. It came apart from the base almost immediately. Large portion size.

Key Lime Cupcake - $3.95
Available online (minimum order of 6), or can be purchased individually from stores.
"Moist and lush lime and coconut cupcakes topped with pale green icing and crystalised lemon and lime zest" - babycakes.net.au

Moist (almost sticky) cake, cannot taste any lime or coconut in the mix however.

I love the lemon and lime zest with the crystallised sugar - it makes for a beautiful crunch, and complements the softness of the frosting marvellously!

Unfortunately, the frosting has nowhere near the amount of lime flavour I expected, and it is hard to eat as the zest is all stuck together and doesn't like to come apart unless you break it with your hands.

Queen of Hearts Mini Mini - $2.00
No description available online. Can be purchased individually in stores.
NB: 2 bite size

Adorable mini tart (with soft pastry!), filled with a strawberry jelly filling, topped with a pastry heart. The pastry is soft and easy to eat - it doesn't crumble after the first bite. The strawberry filling is very sweet - almost too sweet, and for me that's very strange. No frosting on this one. I'm a little disappointed, but overall, not too bad. I don't recommend more than one though.

White Chocolate Cheesecake Mini Mini - $2.00
Available online (minimum of 6), or can be purchased individually in stores.
"Sweet pastry case filled with dreamy cheesecake and topped with a dark chocolate curl. " - babycakes.net
NB: 2 bite size

The chocolate curl has no fridge taste (thank god!), and is crisp and rather sweet for dark chocolate. The pastry is soft, perhaps a little too soft for a cheesecake filling, but it doesn't crumble. The white chocolate filling is decadent! Just as soft and smooth as the regular frosting! Overall, however, it lacks crunch of any sort, and is a little on the bland side, even if eaten with the chocolate (instead of seperately).

Princess Petit Four - $2.00
Available online (minimum of 6), or can be purchased individually in stores.
"Our most popular cupcake, moist plain cupcake topped with pink frosting and a pink and white chocolate icing flower." - babycakes.net
NB: 2 bite size

Very cute! The small sugar flower on top gives the cake the most innocent look! (yes, it is possible for a cake to look innocent!). The sugar flower reminds me of the sugar easter eggs I used to get as a kid, only softer. It's not overly sweet. Perfect blend of sweet and soft. A definite winner. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the frosting from BabyCakes??

Death by Chocolate Petit Four - $2.00
Available online (minimum of 6), or can be purchased individually in stores.
"Decadent  fudgey chocolate cake topped with dark chocolate ganache and a chocolate shard. " - babycakes.net
NB: 2 bite size

Very cute, yet a little imposing. The chocolate shard is almost as big as the cake itself. Strangely, the chocolate has a fridge taste that I haven't found with BC yet. It is a rather dry cake, the frosting is very rich, and not as soft as I was expecting.

Total Score: 2.5/5

Tiramisu Petit Four - $2.00
Available online (minimum of 6), or can be purchased individually in stores.
"Chocolate pastry case filled with creamy tirami su and topped with a chocolate shard." - babycakes.net
NB: 2 bite size

Very cute. The filling is soft, the same consistency as the frosting from BC. White chocolate shard sets it off perfectly, and there is no fridge taste! The pastry feels hard to the touch, but is soft enough to eat without struggling, and it does not fall apart. I absolutely LOVE the small piece of coffee sponge in the bottom of the pastry shell!

Mars Petit Four - $2.00
Available online (minimum of 6), or can be purchased individually in stores.
"Sweet pastry case filled with chocolate ganache and topped with a chunk of mars bar....a winner with the boys out there, order today and see why." - babycakes.net
NB: 2 bite size

Very cute! The slice of a Mars Bar sitting on top of the chocolate ganache frosting is making my mouth water - I love Mars Bars! The caramel in the Mars Bar has dripped onto the ganache a little. The ganache filling in the mini pastry is very rich, but the pastry itself is crisp.

Citrus and Coconut Petit Four - $2.00
Available online (minimum of 6), or can be purchased individually in stores.
"Delicious and moist lime coconut cupcake topped with delux cream cheese frosting and crystalised lemon and lime zest." - babycakes.net
NB: 2 bite size

Very cute! It resembles a toy cake intended for little girls' tea parties with their dollies.  The frosting is almost as tall as the cake itself. The frosting is perfect! Soft, smooth, not too sweet... wow. The crystalised lime zest (I couldn't see any lemon zest) adds a slight crunch. The cake itself has the most delicate citrus flavour, but I couldn't taste any coconut.

Summerberry Souffle - $3.95
I don't believe there is online purchase available. Can be purchased individually from the stores.

Looks very chocolatey! I've never had a souffle before, so I'm not sure how they are MEANT to taste, although I am of the opinion that they are a 'light' dessert. The strawberry and chocolate-frosting curl also have a tiny 'jelly' accompaniment, which is the 'glue' to hold the strawberry piece in place. The frosting is the regular BabyCakes frosting - which I love! - although too thick for my liking. It adds much-needed moisture to the souffle.

The 'Berry' of the souffle has all sunk to the bottom. I am not sure if this is meant to happen with a souffle, but I am not a fan. The cake was to dry and heavy for me to consider it a souffle; I've always thought of them as light and airy.

Lemon Meringue Pie Petit Four - $2.00

"Perfect for any occasion, make someones day today with our cute lemon Meringue Pies
Sweet pastry case filled with zingy lemon curd and topped with a meringue spike" - babycakes.net
NB: 2 bite size



Very cute! The pastry is very thin, and doesn't take away from the flavour of the lemon at all! The meringue, however, is not soft on the inside at all. Its is a hollow spike, and not very sweet. A little disappointing.

Rose Cupcake - $3.95
No description available online. Purchase individually from stores.

Similar in appearance to the Raspberry Sundae Cupcake. Very pretty frosting, with a sugar rose being the centrepiece. Very dense cake, with (I think) a hint of rosewater used in the mix. Reasonably moist cake, however it seems perfect for the flavours. Not overly sweet.

Strawberry chocolate curls are lovely and crisp, also not overly sweet. Also, not too many curls so it's easy to eat. The sugar rose was delectible. I didn't want to eat it!

The frosting is lovely and soft! I really love BabyCakes frosting - sweet, soft, and adds exactly what the cakes need in terms of moisture and flavour!

Bannoffee Cupcake - $3.95
Can be ordered online (minimum of 6), or purchased individually from the stores.
"Who can resist the flavours of banana, toffee and creamy frosting? Topped with lashings of chocolate flakes, this is one cupcake you will fall in love with." babycakes.net

Looks similar to a carrot cake. Banana flavour is strongest, overriding the coffee/toffee flavours in the cake itself. The cake itself is rather dry, and not very sweet. Topping is very nice to look at, but hard to eat as the chocolate shavings go everywhere! Frosting adds much needed sweetness and moisture to the cake.
