Around 5.30 today I wandered down my street and saw that Heirloom was having a soft opening.. their cake display has grown with a much better selection than before.. and at better prices! The staff seem pretty new and generally pretty nice. Seeing so many new options and feeling like I wanted lemon meringue I found a few things caught my attention..Cinnamon Swirl Bun $25 - This looked irresistable and for only 25 I wasn't going to pass it up!

Cinnamon Swirl Bun $25 - This looked irresistable and for only 25 I wasn't going to pass it up! The bun was soft and fluffy but still dense enough, there was good flavour of cinnamon and to my surprise walnuts added a good texture balance. There was even cream cheese frosting! All in all I was super happy with this and will be back for it often!
Lemon Slice $35 - The lemon slice was surprisingly good.. I'm a bit picky when it comes to lemon things, they can easily be too sweet or too tart, but this was just right. I also really liked that it didnt feel gritty but creamy and soft. My only complaint with it was that at times cracking the base was a little too difficult, but all in all very worth it I don't see why it's not priced at 25 like the other smaller items though, but I'd happily pay the extra 10..
Hot Chocolate $35 - This was thoroughly dissapointing, not because it was a bad hot chocolate, I would be quite happy with it in other circumstances however I asked for it to be super chocolatey only to get home and find that it was a good centimetre or two away from even touching the top of the cup and only an average level of chocolateyness could be found.. Oh well, these are things that wouldn't be a problem if I'd eaten in, as no one would serve a mug that low when eating in.. ah the perils..
All in all it wasn't a bad visit, I could easily share the sweets between two or even three and they were of very high quality allowing me to be content with saving some for later and not being so sweet to make you sick. Perfect. If you haven't been since the new open there is also a new menu and a few other changes.
Would I recommend it? So far yes, but I'd like to see how the new sandwhiches are.. I loved the old ones to death!
