Michael was travelling through Northcote on Sunday morning and he stopped in at Pandy Bakeshop to see what treats they had on offer. Pandy is an all-vegan, gluten-free-friendly bakery that's been operating within Baketico for just under a year and this was our first taste of it. There are typically five different individually-portioned kinds of sweet plus a few cakes sold by the slice.
Incredibly, Michael delivered three treats home by bike with no more damage than a single jam smear. This came from what appears to be a signature Pandy dish, the gluten-free fairy bread lamington. This pink cube was neat, light and very sweet - the equal of any gluteny, eggy analogue. The raspberry blondie had the texture of a dense, moist cake and its streak of raspberry jam reminded me happily of the jam tarts and buns I ate in suburban and country bakeries as a kid. The Biscoff and white chocolate cookie was huge, soft and dense like the blondie, with a subtle gingerbread vibe.
I was deeply impressed by the execution of all these goods and I'll be making any excuse to stop by again and try more from Pandy.

How fun! I love the look of that pink lamington, but then of course I am attracted to anything pink. Well done to Michael for getting them home on the bike in such pristine condition!
