22 YEARS AS THE BENCHMARK IN QUALITY CAKES...

After 22 years, Mark’s Quality Cakes remains the benchmark for quality, taste and consumer brand recognition in the competitive Victorian hospitality market. As a business, we have resisted the current theme of mass product processing and we continue to use quality ingredients in our proven products. We know that diners are attracted to the look of a cake in the first instance, but its the taste experience that will leave the diner with a lasting impression, if the cake experience is enjoyable, diners will enquire with the venue “who made that cake”?

In the current economic climate diners have become even more discerning about how they spend their disposable income on their dining experience and expect even more quality from the venues they visit for the money they spend. Mark’s Quality Cakes is proud to present 26 varieties of small 2.5” and large 3.5’’ individual cakes, all made with the same passion, quality and finishing of our large dessert cake ranges.

All individual cakes pictured are 3.5”

Given outside it was a chilly minus several hundred degrees I decided to go with a warming porridge. Topped with baked orange blossom rhubarb and toasted macadamia and brown sugar crumble, what made it even better was serving the milk in a small jug on the side.

Given we had gone with such healthy choices, breakfast desserts were obviously in order. Honestly, given how good they looked it was hard to decide which way to go. They all had that home baked look to them, were generous in size and very, very tempting. Between us we decided on the caramel slice and the Monte Carlo, a cream and jam filled biscuit. The pick of the two was the Monte Carlo although I thought the rich sweet caramel of the slice ran a close second. One thing unusual about them both, at first bite I thought they were each okay, good but nothing special. However the more I ate the better they got and the more I wanted.

wine reviews Words and photo by Krystina Menegazzo

ABOUT KRYSTINA MENEGAZZO La Donna del Vino is the pseudonym of this young lady from Melbourne who completed her winemaking degree whilst being a gypsy working in vintages throughout Australia and Italy. Finally she decided to return home and sell wine instead. In her spare time she cooks, eats, drinks buon vino and is a self-confessed Neb Head (someone really into Nebbiolo).
