Exactly one week ago we splashed out on some cake in St.Kilda. After Peter and I had spent some time in Central Melbourne around Swanston Street, we met up with Martin and Lauren again. The four of us boarded a tram to St.Kilda.
This cake was placed in one of the beautiful boxes for us to take home.We had been looking for this particular place and were happy when we found it.We went inside and selected a few pieces of cake to have with some coffee.It was excellent cake!
And the coffee was great too.
The cake that we took home in the box turned out to be excellent too.

I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

The Kooglhoupf, Robert, that we took home, was quite moist with a lot of very dark rich chocolate mixed in it. Really marvellous! The dark piece of cake in the middle of the table we shared. It was wonderfully moist very rich poppy seed cake. And I forgot to mention we also took some plum cake home. So throughout Thursday and Friday we had our fill of very special cake!
The cakes I will leave for you Auntyuta, afraid I dont possess a sweet tooth.
The trams are beautiful in Melbourne, must be over 30 years since I rode one of them.
Cheers

It’s really more Peter who’s got a sweet tooth, Ian. But these Monarch cakes were really special and I quite enjoyed some of the cake. We love the Melbourne trams!
Cheers, Uta.
