Luxbite is a French Patisserie that has a retail shop in Melbourne. It's famous with the macarons and unique looking cakes. I visited the shop a while ago to try out some of their signature cakes and macaroon.
I decided to order one of their signature cakes, which is called the Meringue Monster. This cakes has layers of green tea sponge, pistachio, watermelon, yoghurt, sour strawberry mousse, and meringue. It is also claimed to be a gluten free cake. I took my first bite into it and all the flavour just explode in my mouth. The sourness of the yogurt and the strawberry mousse balance out the sweetness from the green tea sponge and the meringue perfectly. This is a type of cake that you might want to have more than one. The sour background leave a very refreshing taste in the mouth, so don't forget to grab one of this when you visit the shop!

The second cake that I decided to purchase is their Chocolate, Mandarin and Salted Caramel Cake. My addiction toward salted caramel makes me choose this cake. You can't never go wrong with chocolate and orange, but I've never thought of combining those two flavours with salted caramel. Anyway, the cake contains an aerated chocolate shortbread, orange and lemon marmalade, mandarin cream, Murray River salted caramel cream and dark chocolate mousse, glazed with a shiny chocolate mirror glaze and topped with a freeze dried mandarin segment. When I had my first bite, I was not really impressed. The mandarin cream left a bitter taste, which is not pleasant at all. However, when I kept digging in, I could not stop myself from adoring this little piece of cake. The combination of all three flavours works! I love the salted caramel cream and I love everything about this cake, except the mandarin cream. I highly recommend this cake to everyone!

After satisfying myself with the two cakes earlier, I decided to try one of their macaroons, which is the Peanut Butter and Jelly Macaroon. To be honest, I couldn't taste the jelly at all, the peanut butter is too overpowering. All I can taste is just peanut butter, in a form of a macaroon. This is by far, my least favourite out of the three dishes I purchased in this shop.
Overall, I highly recommend this shop to anyone who loves desserts! The layout of the shop is also nice, sadly I forgot to take picture of the shop itself, so I apologize for that.
Anyhow, that's it for now, thanks for visiting our blog,
and see you guys next time! Cheers!
