Comments on: Sweet Infinity Bakery, Woolloomooloo & Sydney’s Best Brownie? http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/07/22/sweet-infinity-bakery-woolloomooloo-and-sydneys-best-brownie/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Bought a voucher to a cooking class at Sweet Infinity Bakery through Jump On It. Absolute rubbish. We were supposed to be doing a cooking class for flourless chocolate cakes, it was just a demonstration by a chef there. The food was dry and uninspiring. ... Most of the recipe was pre-prepared so even the demo was brief. Our interaction consisted of pouring the mixture into cupcake moulds. Then using a piping bag to put on the pre-made icing. The demonstration was for cupcakes, we didn't make cakes. The class duration was 1.5 hours as opposed to the advertised 3 hours. We were supposed to receive 'take home menu cards, goodies and more'. What we got was 2 A4 pieces of paper with the cake and icing recipe with little detail and poorly written. We took home some of the cupcakes (goodies?), and no more. It was for $79 with Jump On it and the bakery saying it was work $300. To pay $79 for this class was a gross overcharge, to say it is usually $300 is outrageous. They refused to acknowledge the full complaint and in the end we got no refund, only got a credit with Jump On It (we don't want to use Jump On It again). • Had a very bad experience with Sweet Infinity through a Jump On It voucher.

I kept doing trips for all my workmates for weeks! just a shame they dont have the brownies every day since they take so long to make! They are very close to a ganache centre/creamy centre more like a soft brownie with the sweetest crunchiest top! its amazing, i think i need to go back here.. its been awhile! the best is the back part where you can see the industrial bakery & LOTS of pretty cakes!

I'm sure I'll pick up more for the trip home, as well. The best croissants I've had in Sydney have been in a little Vietnamese bakery in Mt Druitt Village (western suburbs) nearest the train line. I don't even know how many they make on the premises but if I'm not there before 9am, they're all gone. Buttery, flaky, huge and absolutely delicious. The belly can only fit one sandwich in (barely) but the tastebuds insist on more! I will be getting out to the bakery for a brownie fix, too. I’m sure I’ll pick up more for the trip home, as well.

YOu're coming here for an eating tour I presume? ;) Hi Liss-Oh yes do! But he'll have to go early as I think they've been selling out :P Yes I must make one soon and make it exactly like that :D Oh yes I know Cutmore Cakes! We drive past it all the time! :) Hi Trisha-Yes we are really spoilt for choice :) I wish I were closer! :lol: Hi sandra-Yes me neither! They're so good! Yes do and you'll be duly rewarded ;) Hi Theresa-Thankyou! :D Oh fantastic! You'll have a ball! YAY :D Hi Betty-It was really nice and spinachey :) Yes definitely do! :D Hi holly-They're so chocolatey and good and quite different from any other brownie I've tried :) I think they have Gluten free bread there! I think I saw a sign (although I've been to so many places lately I am not 100% sure). I usually try and take note as I know a lot of you have gluten allergies. I shall try and be more diligent :) Hi Chris-Heh I thought that was very nice! Yes it was both :lol: Hi Kate-Aww thankyou! :D You're so lucky being so close by! Yes she said it has the usual ingredients of brownies but it's so unlike other brownies. That's great isn't it! :) Hi Anita-They were wonderbubble! :lol: Hi Illegallyblonde-They are absolutely divine. Oooh That sounds interesting indeed! Warm and gooey is a good thing that's for sure :P Hi Tara-Yes they're great aren't they! Aww what a shame! :( Maybe someone else here can suggest somewhere? Hi Yas-Hehe try this brownie. I'd love to know what you think of it! :) Oooh a burger is a thing of beauty. Thanks for the rec! :D Hi Bush Babe-Aw no, 50kms away is so far! :( $1! Wowee. Sounds like people like the prices :lol: Thankyoiu! Hi Fiona -hehe cool!:P Hi Neil-They are definitely and I've tried many! Yes $3.50 is very reasonable. In fact the whole bakery is quite reasonably priced! And I think you could easily share a brownie as they're so rich. Hi Linda-That sounds great! Where would we be without a good chocolatier?! Hi Nik-Hehe yes well now that I'm moving I'm sure I'll be there more often. She's great I agree! Hi Cakelaw-But I bet what you bake is better than what any of them produce! Yes Melbourn ash some great patisseries ;) Hi Ja-Oh go Ja, go! :lol: You're welcome and let me know what you think of it ok? :) Hi Steph -Yes it is but I'm very confident in this ;) Yes we're spoilt here and we have Zumbo too!

Hi Kim-Yes it's a good start to the day isn't it! Hi Bethie-Oh no! :( What a shame there aren't!Oh you're making me so hungry with that description. But hang on, whipped cream? :o Although unsweetened it would be butter like I suppose. Hehe I'd love some! :P Hi Brenda-Yup big call but I'm confident that they are ;) Hi Megan-YOu did! But I resisted. Too much sugar before lunch :lol: Me too! Hi Arwen-Ah well you'll like this one! Yes it was a nice gesture indeed. A nice change! Hi Tracey Lynch-Yes! Ah really, that's great! They must have been delicious :) Haha isn't that nice! And I love how he didn't complain when he had to go back. Perhaps he had a hankering for some pie? ;) Hi Gab-They were great! It was hard to choose though :lol: Hi kirgibg-Oh yes we've driven past it. Thanks for the rec, I'll look out for it when we next go to Blue Mountains! :D Hi SydneyGal -Do it! :lol: Hi holly-Turramurra is north. Best of luck and do let us know what they're like! :) Hi Karen-Ha you can be! Just go and buy one! :lol: Hi foodie-central-Definitely nad I'd love to know what you think! :) Hi Ja-Aww no :( What a bummer. Maybe you could call and reserve something? Hi Lisbeth-Hehe yes Sydney during the day is quite nice too and good strategy going in Winter. One gets hungrier and the food won't melt! Hi flapflap -Thanks!

At 7.20am I am craving one now! OH yum! Sounds like a great place :D Hi gobsmack'd-Thanks for the recs, they sound excellent! I remember going to Paris bakery during my teenage years and loving the cakes there. I was amazed to see that it hasn't changed inside! Hi Mei-Yes it's in this stretch of street with mechanics, apartment etc around it. Hehe really! Of course :D Hi Sylvia-Yes that's a really good idea!

So I pre-ordered for the next day and asked for a box. My colleagues said that it's very delicious. Even the guy who alwayd so conscious of his food goes for one. I met Leanne, but I immediately said that it's for the whole office *remembered the pie guy from your story** before she throw me out *worst case*. I tried the brownies, and yes, it is delicious and a bit moussey which I like most. I went there to buy the brownies for the office yesterday, but it is run out.
