Blackstar
pastry I’ve visited before to try the frangipani tart which was delicious with
its crumbly crust and sweet flowery scent but today we were on a mission far
greater......to bear witness to the all-hailed Strawberry Watermelon Cake ($7.50) and finally taste this ~420 cm3 mystery
and prove whether the “Best things are [indeed] the Small things”.
We
walked into the cafe and had eyes for nothing else, scanning the displays for
any word of “watermelon” without looking too objective. I love the outdoor
seating at Blackstar, chatting while seated side by side with friends and the
occasional swoon down to enjoy your cake and coffee. You’re so close to other
fellow cake-lovers, acknowledging them with smiles as you eloquently scramble
out to secure your seat and I guess that’s what I love about the Newtown area –
the random interactions with friendly folk!
There’s
fresh, juicy goodness of the watermelon layer in between the fluffy rosewater cream
and sponge and the jello-ed strawberries and pistachios at the top, that is, if
you are skilled enough to get all layers onto your spoon in one clean swipe!
I must say there's too much hype about it for what its worth for a moderate sweet tooth like me. But presentation looks divine, atmosphere is lazy and on point and hey, cake is everyone's cuppa tea!
