Petal Met Sugar, Woolloomooloo

Petal Met Sugar is a new patisserie and flower shop located in Woolloomooloo. It opened up its doors last year in October and has quickly gained attention all over social media. One of the main reasons is its beautiful created cakes and minimalist design of the cafe. However, looks is not the only thing that has captured everyone's attention, each individual cake is made with an array of carefully arranged ingredients bringing a packed full of flavor dessert!
We arrived on a sunny Friday afternoon looking for some sweets after our cafe run at Glider KS (see previous post). The cafe itself is quite small, one corner is the counter for the cakes and coffee and the back wall is for the flowers. There is also an open kitchen connected to it where you can see the pastry chef creating these beautiful cakes. There is only outdoor seating but luckily it is undercover. We ordered two desserts: Chocolate Candy Bar and the Terrarium. Both desserts were extremely photogenic and had unique flavours to them.

Chocolate Candy Bar | Chocolate flourless sponge, burnt butter ganache, praline feuiletine crunch, sprayed milk chocolate mousse | $9.50

The Chocolate Candy Bar was the dessert that I saw the most on Instagram, especially the famous 'pouring of the cream onto the cake' shot. The name of the cake says it all- a dessert that is packed full of chocolate goodness! This cake is quite rich but what I enjoyed about it was the different textures in it, from the smooth chocolate ganache to the crunchy praline feuiletine. The cream was also a good compliment to the cake because it lessened the sweetness of the chocolate.

Terrarium | Passionfruit finger lime panacotta, cocoa nib soil, baby lemon baim, edible flower garden, Callebaut 29.5% white chocolate | $9.50

The design of the Terrarium dessert definitely caught my eye at first. It does definitely resemble a real terrarium with its edible flowers and cocoa soil. At first we were eating this dessert element by element and when we hit the passionfruit finger lime panacotta we found it to be so sour! However, if you eat all the elements together it makes the passionfruit panacotta less sour. This was a very interesting dessert and it was very refreshing especially since it was such a hot day.
Overall, I really enjoyed both desserts at Petal Met Sugar but my vote will have to go to the Chocolate Candy Bar (you can never go wrong with chocolate!!). The price of the cakes were expected (around $6-$10) for the quality that you get. The service was reasonable- there wasn't much interaction with the staff other than ordering. I'll definitely be back to try more of Petal Met Sugar's scrumptious and beautiful cakes!
Happy eating x
