SUMMER HAS ARRIVED AT OUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL BAKERY IN TOOWOOMBA
At The Baker’s Duck, summer has officially landed.
We have refreshed the cabinet with a seasonal line-up built around ripe fruit and pastries designed for long, sunny mornings that turn into leisurely afternoons.
Here’s what’s on the menu
Mango Sticky Rice Croissant Bar
This is the one that stops people mid-step. A golden croissant bar layered with ripe mango and coconut richness, inspired by the familiar comfort of mango sticky rice. Buttery, softly sweet, and visually striking, it delivers indulgence with clarity. A true summer hero.
Maple Sea Salt Palmier
Crisp, caramelised layers folded with rich maple sweetness and finished with a light scattering of sea salt. This palmier is all about contrast. Shatteringly crisp edges give way to deep butteriness, with the salt stepping in just in time to keep everything balanced. Simple in form, quietly indulgent, and far more addictive than it looks.
Passionfruit Basque Cheesecake
Burnished and deeply golden on the outside, soft and creamy within. The tang of passionfruit cuts cleanly through the richness, creating a cheesecake that feels indulgent without being heavy. It is the kind of dessert that suits any time of day and never overstays its welcome.
Summer Stone Fruit Bear Claw
Flaky pastry wrapped around ripe stone fruit filling, baked until the edges catch and the centre stays soft. Sweet, fragrant, and deeply seasonal, this is summer fruit given space to shine.
Cherry & Strawberry Lattice
Bright cherries and strawberries tucked beneath a delicate lattice that crackles as you break into it. Nostalgic, precise, and gently playful, this pastry feels familiar in the best possible way.
Summer Tomato Tarte Tatin
Peak-season tomatoes are slow baked until their natural sweetness intensifies, then paired with crisp pastry for a savoury tarte tatin that feels both comforting and fresh. Balanced, restrained, and perfect for those who like their treats a little less sweet.
Plum & Hazelnut St Honoré Danish
Soft plum meets toasted hazelnut beneath layers of carefully laminated pastry. This danish is about texture and balance rather than drama. Elegant, composed and deeply satisfying.
And a few seasonal drinks…
Summer pastries deserve drinks that understand the assignment. Our new summer drinks line-up is made to cool, refresh and complement without overpowering — Passionfruit Lemonade, Pink Lemonade and Peach and Raspberry Iced Tea.
Each is made fresh and designed to sit comfortably alongside pastry, coffee or both.
