Jac recently bought a box of mini meat pies, sausage rolls and quiches and a full-size pastie from the bakery at The Bentley Centre. I ate one of each mini pastry, plus half the pastie, which Jac and I shared. The mini meat pies were especially good, filled with a combination of beef mince and […]
I’m not sure who brought it up first, but during breakfast my sister Juji, her boyfriend Jay, Jac and I talked about a French bakery nearby on Mends Street. After our salty and savoury cooked breakfasts, we were quite keen to have something sweet – the four of us made a sweets stop at that […]
My workmate RR recently bought selection of goodies from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie for afternoon tea to celebrate his birthday. I sneaked in ahead of time to take photos, of course. I lifted the lid from the box, and wow! Even after half a dozen or so morning/afternoon teas featuring Jean Claude fare, I still […]
We had a team meeting on Friday afternoon last week, and as a treat for the troops and to say welcome to new person J, my boss purchased a selection of pastries and tartlettes from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie. I’ve featured these before, but I never get tired of gazing at these gorgeous little pastries […]
On Thursday morning last week, SRM went to Cafe Cafe to grab a takeaway coffee. He asked if I’d like something, and I requested a serve of fruit toast.

One of the best things about working in an office is the occasional indulgent morning tea. The birthday morning tea, the “welcome!” morning tea, the farewell morning tea. How about this? A glistening berry-crowned cheesecake, almost too beautiful to cut. Juicy shiny berries fighting gravity, piled on top of soft smooth cheesecake sittin…
These photos are from last Saturday. I meant to post them during the week but never got the chance. After doing some grocery shopping, we picked up something for lunch from the bakery at Bentley shopping centre. Jac chose a cheese sausage in pastry (you know, I reckon it looks pretty gross in this photo, […]
It was Chad’s birthday on Wednesday, and she brought in a box of goodies from Jean Claude Patisserie for the team to share. The delicious anticipation created by the sight of this box was immense! Chad said I could take photos of the goodies within before the hungry hoards (well, not exactly hoards!) arrived. That’s […]
On Tuesday we celebrated another workmate’s birthday with goodies she got from Michel’s Patisserie. There were fruit and custard tarts, chocolate topped profiteroles and some hefty looking cannoli. There was also an iced orange cake. The cake was lovely and soft – fluffy, in fact. I love orange cake, but I must admit I found [&hel…
It was my boss’ birthday this week, and she very generously got a beautiful assortment of pastries, cakes and tarts from Chez Jean-Claude Patisserie for everyone to have for afternoon tea. I felt a little bashful asking if I could take photos of someone else’s birthday food, but my workmates have definitely got into the […]
