Merry Christmas to all

Christophers bakery has seven different locations

of which I chose Randwick to visit. Recently
opened and conveniently located near the
entrance/exit of the shopping centre.
First, I noticed the Cake Shop sign hanging directly
above the entrance stating Christophers Cake Shop since 1955. It added a
bit of history without trying too hard. As I entered the open area a wonderland

Customer service did not disappoint as the staff ensured that expectations
were exceeded. Multiple samples of chocolates and biscuits were brought
to the table where my little brothers and I were seated patiently awaiting the
delivery of what we did not yet know would be nothing short of perfection.
The cookie and cream macaroon was delightfully chewy and sweet.
Looking like an oreo, the cool creamy middle was sandwiched between two
exquisitely baked chocolate layers. The special of the day, which included a
Heineken 24*330ml
drink and choice of sweet or salty delight, did not disappoint either. My sweet
tooth was drawn to the ricotta cake. I am not usually a fan of those kinds of

cakes but this one satisfied in a way I will not soon forget. It was so creamy
and delightfully rich.
I did not order an entire cake as I am sure eating it in addition to my previous
selections would have received numerous stares. However, there was a huge
selection of special occasion cakes ready to be picked up and reasonably
priced. My birthday is just around the corner so I know where I am going.
