A little more about this blog... (and myself)
"While everyone turns to the 'Mains' of their restaurant menus, I always flipped to the 'Dessert' section first..." - The 'Sweet Tooth' Fairy
What motivated me to starting up a dessert blog was that I realised how
difficult it was, for me at least, to find places that served good
desserts without us having to go to the same place and getting the same
thing every time. Afterall, a part of life is all about trying new and
different things right? So why not also with desserts?
Growing up I was never allowed to eat much sweets. Reasons were either because it would make me too fat, rot all my teeth, or because of those horrible sugar highs that mum never looked forward to dealing with.
Typical treats for me growing up were either cookies or chocolates, and the occasional baked goodies that the neighbours would bring over.
As I grew up and started my tertiary education, having to spend almost the entire day from morning to later afternoon in Auckland City, contemplating everyday on what to have for lunch was a huge problem but what was more on my mind was that I always wanted to have something sweet rather than a proper meal.
When uni finished for me, finding a place to hang out with my friends became more difficult as we weren't the types that were keen for 'Friday night hangovers' on a Saturday morning. Rather, we thought it was more in out preference to sit somewhere with a nice and quiet environment and enjoy everyones' company along with a decadent sweet treat.
Whether you are just on a short visit to Auckland or live here, My aim for this this blog is to help provide options of places in to go to when you are in the mood for that after dinner ice cream, once-a-week cheat day from dieting, rewarding yourself with a rich chocolate cake, or even just for that comforting cup of coffee. Hopefully you'll find the reviews helpful and scrumptious!
A dessert post will be up shortly. Until then!
Sweet Tooth Fairy.
