Lamington Lover

I TAKE IT BACK!

In an earlier post I discussed my first impressions of the Lamington, the Australian baked delicacy. I have to admit that I wasn't all that impressed with the one from the local bakery and I believe that this came across in my post. It was through a discussion with a PhD student whom I am volunteering for that I found a renewed hope in this treat. She was appalled at my 'good-not-great' attitude towards them and quickly scrawled down the name of a place I had to try in Woolloomooloo. It has been on my to-do list for a couple of weeks but this Saturday while looking for a new place to study I trekked to Flour and Stone Bakery and boy was I impressed. 

These guys have definitely mastered not only the perfect lamington, but also heaps of  other baked wonders (I also enjoyed the salted caramel tart).

This moist and chocolate coated cube of joy was a far cry from the dry and tasteless lamington of George St. I may just have to go back for another!
