Food and Drink Awards: Best Desserts
Ms B’s Cakery
Let’s all agree on one thing: Ms B’s makes kickass cakes. Opened by Sevva owner Bonnie Gokson (left), the pâtisserie’s decadent, over-the-top creations are crafted only from the finest, all-natural ingredients. The results are stunning, from the signature Madame Butterfly (layered chocolate, pistachio and beetroot chiffon with apricot compote and fresh cream), to the whimsical Whoopie red velvet cake slathered in vanilla cream cheese frosting and colourful sprinkles. And just in time for this awards issue, Ms B’s expands with its first sit-down café C’est La B this fortnight, which will serve an extended desserts menu and a small selection of savouries. Talk about the icing on the cake.

Runner up
Mitsukiya
We’re head over heels in love with Mitsukiya’s delicate wagashi (Japanese confectionaries). The selection is seasonal but if it’s on the menu, be sure to try the chakin shibori stuffed with taro or sweet potatoes.
