Food Porn

Do you like food porn?  You know, those gloriously perfect photos of amazing food.  I love it.  I'm well known for whipping out a camera or phone to take photos of people's plates.  In fact my subscription to Gourmet Traveller is basically to allow me to drool over detectible dishes that I have little intention of ever making.

As regular followers of this blog will know, in the last year I have developed a deep and abiding love for a Canberra bakery called the Flute.  I thank the lord that it is located inconveniently and has limited opening hours or I may be on first name terms with the wait staff, however I did spot its truck outside a cafe just near my work yesterday - oh dear!

So please, enjoy some delightful food porn of fabulous baked products. (Note most of the shots are taken still in the box.  This is because once they come out of the box, they never last long enough to take a photo of!)


Macaroons.  I'm still not 100% on the macaroon bandwagon, but they were pretty tasty.  Chocolate cherry and vanilla and raspberry flavours.

Chocolate mud cake - sooooo rich, yet somehow without that heavy stoginess that I don't like in mud cake.

Pear galette - the perfect flaky pastry
Jaffa dome - a base of crunchy chocolate feuilletine, followed by flowerless orange cake, then layers of orange and chocolate mousse.   So intense - I got a migraine from it the first time I had it and overindulged!

Mixed berry tart  with frangipane

 An arty shot of the caramel and pear cake - don't be fooled by the name, it also contains serious amounts of chocolate!
