We went to the Bakeshop at the William Angliss Institute after lunch. I like these petit fours!

In case you are wondering,  a petit four is a small confectionery dessert. It is a French name meaning "small oven". The ones we bought are petits fours glacés or iced petit fours.

And yes, they are yum. I like the cake inside the icing, which is layered and soaked in a heavy syrup. I asked and was told it is a sponge cake. It tastes almost like flourless almond cake to me, but maybe that is due to the syrup.

Just a suggestion, maybe the bakeshop can label the cakes and pastries with short descriptions, so we know what are in the lovely items that they sell!

William Angliss Institute Bakeshop

Hi Everyone,

I love the Bakeshop at the William Angliss Institute for foods, tourism and hospitality. If you live in Melbourne, this is one of the best places to buy cakes, pastries and bread at an amazing price. These are made by the Patisserie and Bakery students of the William Angliss and sold at the small Bakeshop on campus. I'm surprised that many people in Melbourne have not heard of this place when I mention it to them.

Here is a photo of what I bought today - a box of freshly-made pavlovas and pastries. These are made by cookery students so the shapes are not always consistent or perfect, but the taste is usually good, with fairly good quality ingredients used.

Pavlovas and Pastries

Fresh real cream, meringue with fine yet firm texture

Apricot Cream Bun

Fresh real cream, bun texture is like a cake with syrup

If you have a long way to travel to get there, it is a good idea to ring up the Bakeshop to check what their stock is for that day. What they sell depends on whether, and what, the students are baking that day. Here are other photos taken at the Bakeshop today.

I didn't take a photo of this but there is also a small counter selling meat cuts prepared by students in the Meat Processing (Butchery) course.

On campus you can also find a bistro and a restaurant where meals are prepared and served by students who are supervised by professional chefs. They have Buffets (3 course) and Special Buffets (all you can eat) several times a year - check their website for dates.
