Hey Melbourne: you are, quite literally, in for a treat.
Black Star Pastry, the Sydney (and Japan!) institution most recognised for conquering your mates’ Instagram feed via its fuck-off beautiful watermelon and strawberry cake, is heading south-east.
That’s right. No longer will you be forced to longingly stare at photos like this;
Or this;
Or even bloody this;
Because the patisserie announced this arvo that it’s “coming soon.”
Mastermind Christopher Thé’s enterprise has finished up a cameo appearance in Melbs’ Night Noodle Markets in November, and the city’s fervour for that red-striped delight – and the firm’s other goodies – probably played a huge role in bringing Black Star down permanently.
It’s not yet clear when you’ll be gifted with that cakey presence, but look, it’s probably a good idea to start thinking about your most primo filter selections.
