Lux Bite, South Yarra, Melbourne

Lux Bite... now where have I heard of that? The Zumbo rivalling, insanely difficult, eclectic and nostalgia inducing 7 layered lollybag cake of course. 

They've got a little cafe happening with the usual suspects like coffee and macarons, but surprisingly they've even got a regular savoury menu featuring the likes of satay and french bisques among many other eclectic tastes.

Supposedly "in the business of the sweet life", it's definitely looking the part with all manner of beautifully looking creations sitting temptingly on their shelves. 

Lolly Bag 7

Now see I couldn't come all this way and not try that aforementioned cake. It's silly in a sense, a mish mash of different flavours that work and don't at the same time. You'll have greater fun picking apart the layers tasting the different textures and flavours than shoveling the whole thing in your mouth.

Endless Love 9

And ode to Pierre Herme's iconic Ispahan, endless love is a blushing pink meringue filled with rosewater cream. A surprise lychee along with little bites of raspberry cut through it all with a clean freshness and natural flavours. 

Shop owners, Bernard and Yen, have created a safe haven for all sweetaholics; one where infinite imagination and possibilities take place. There's definitely a lot more to try out and it's such a joy to see such invention; I've even bought a jar of their vanilla caramel to take home to Sydney. Cheers to the sweet life.
