Melbourne's Vanilla Slice Crown: Dulce Bakehouse Takes the Cake!
Melbourne foodies, rejoice! The hunt for the *perfect* vanilla slice is officially over. After countless taste tests and fervent debates, we've crowned a champion: Dulce Bakehouse, a beloved suburban bakery nestled in Melbourne's north-west. Forget everything you thought you knew about this classic Aussie dessert - Dulce Bakehouse has redefined it.
A Taste of Argentina, a Slice of Heaven
What sets Dulce Bakehouse's vanilla slice apart? It's all about the dulce de leche. Instead of the traditional custard, the bottom layer is generously slathered with this rich, caramel-like Argentine treat. This unexpected twist adds a depth of flavour and a decadent creaminess that elevates the vanilla slice to a whole new level. The light and airy sponge cake provides the perfect counterpoint to the luscious dulce de leche and the smooth vanilla custard topping, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes.
Family Legacy and Baking Passion
The story behind Dulce Bakehouse is as sweet as their pastries. Run by the Segovia family – Washington, Gaby, and Eddie – the bakery is a testament to their passion for baking and their love for Argentine traditions. Eddie, a key figure in the operation, is dedicated to maintaining the highest quality ingredients and perfecting their recipes. “We wanted to bring a little piece of Argentina to Melbourne,” Eddie explains, “and what better way than through food?”
More Than Just a Vanilla Slice
While their vanilla slice is undoubtedly the star of the show, Dulce Bakehouse offers a tempting array of other baked goods, from traditional pastries to South American delicacies. But it’s the vanilla slice that has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of Melburnians. Expect queues, especially on weekends, as word of this dessert sensation has spread like wildfire.
The Verdict?
Dulce Bakehouse’s vanilla slice isn't just good; it's an experience. The combination of dulce de leche, fluffy sponge, and creamy vanilla custard creates a truly unforgettable dessert. If you’re a vanilla slice aficionado, or simply looking for a delicious treat, Dulce Bakehouse is an absolute must-visit. Prepare to be amazed!
