Croissant D'or























I am a real sucker for Eastern European style cakes for their generous use of seeds and nuts. Whenever I spot cakes and bakes with fillings of poppyseeds, walnuts, hazelnuts and what have you's, it's more or less purchased in the next five minutes. At this lovely french-style patisserie spotted at Potts Point, I bought this poppyseed strudel. It's amazing how from bakery to bakery this dessert seems to vary. This one was more a cake than a pastry: sweet, filling and delicious. A word of advice though, always do a smile into the mirror after any poppyseed dessert as they get stuck between your teeth without fail.
