There’s a new kid on the block on Rokeby Road. Well, it’s a new bunny. And the sweet little critter is causing an Insta sensation with his cuteness overload. To meet him, hop into The Baking Corner, on the sunny corner site near the post office, and feast your eyes on the rabbit crumble tart, the current hot ticket patisserie item.
It’s really two desserts in one – a mix of frangipane shortbread crumble base with lime apple jelly topped with a lemon yoghurt mousse in the shape of a rabbit. Locals and interlopers can’t get enough of it.
Owners Tony Zheng and Min Yang are delighted with the response to their new shop.
The love affair is mutual.
“We love Subiaco,” says Tony, who emigrated from China and gave up his accountancy career to focus, with wife Min, on running their patisseries – first in Kalamunda at Café 37, then Victoria Park and Inglewood – where a team of nine pastry chefs churn out the popular pies, desserts and sweet treats. In Subiaco they’re selling like, well, hot cakes.
There’s also a delightful alfresco area for customers to watch the world go by.
