Winter Zumbo cakes revisited and named

It's been a month since the Adriano Zumbo winter range was unveiled, so it's time to give them another try.

Ed Rocks the Cradle is a coffee-based mousse cake, encased in a rocker of chocolate. And it really rocks, as well! See demonstration of rockability below:


I didn't notice it before, but there is a milk-bottle lolly stuck in the top...



Though it needs a bit of a push to get the cradle rocking...


This cake, formerly known as 'W', is called 'Danny has tickets to her box office' (ahem!)

The flourless chocolate base is my favourite bit.

And the cakes haven't lost their shine, or their pulling power, selling out most weekends.

  1. LOL @ demonstration of its rockability.

    Whereabouts in Balmain is it anyway? Darling street? I'll be around that area for work and I'm itching to give it a go (I think I'm the only one in the whole of sydney who hasn't tasted zumbo's cakes! hmmmm... that didn't come out right LOL).

  7. hi Lorraine - yeah, rock on!

    hi Leona - I miss Simmone Logue -she closed her shop in Balmain. Hope you get to try lots of Zumbo's!

    hi panda - they're all tasty and even better when you can play with them!

    hi Arwen - it's pretty stable if it's stored in a small box so there's less room to move. It can stand on its own (as long as you resist the temptation to push it...

  9. Why can't I live in Sydney!!!!! Although if I lived anywhere near the Adrian Zumbo shop I would be one of those women you see on t.v that need a crane to get them out of the house. So maybe its a good thing I'm in Melbourne! lol
