Snowbear Bakery - Saint Ives Australia

I passed by walking my husky and noticed the store. Upon entering it seemed like the environment was a bit dark and gloomy. Anyhow, I got a few items to share. The green tea honey sponge cake was pretty good. The tuna bun has a nice decorative top.<br/ <br/ My expectations were a bit high. First time and it didn't seem too special. I'll come back to try a few more items and rate again. The desserts looked pretty good.<br/

I ordered a totoro cake just for my little baby girl's 100days old. It taste pretty good, has fruits in it. The color made my teeth turn very dark blue. Used my groupon so it's pretty cheap and I only had to pay the tax which is like 2bucks.

I first heard about Snowbear Bakery from Sab who told me it was a new Japanese bakery in Richmond. Not so, the place was Chinese-owned and operated as I found out from my investigation. I wasn't met with the best customer service when I went in for inquiries and prices were rather high, so I never thought I would try out the cakes here. But of course, they got me with a $15.99 (tax included) deal voucher for a 6-inch mango cake regularly priced at $32. Are you kidding me?! This little cake costs $32? Maxim sells the same thing for around $20! But I must say the mango slices on this cake look a whole lot better. They're a beautiful golden yellow and very juicy-looking, not sickly pale and dry like Maxim's. As I cut into the cake, I knew the texture was just right because I could feel how very soft and airy the sponge cake was. The knife was met with almost no resistance and I was able to cut out picture-perfect slices. There was a very generous amount of mango both inside and outside. M
