Daci & Daci Bakers, Hobart

 

As a home baker, there's nothing I like better than a bakery.  Accordingly, when I spied Daci & Daci Bakers in Hobart, I was like a moth to the flame.

Daci & Daci is housed in lovely old fashioned premises, replete with dark woodwork and a lovely winged chair in the window seat.  Its counters are packed to the rafters with all kinds of attractive-looking baked goods, sweet and savoury.  They are not cheap, but I am happy to pay for quality.

 

Here is just a smattering of the collection of goodies available in Daci & Daci:

On our first visit, Tim and I decided to try the Raspberry Caramel Crunch ($8) - a sable base topped with milk chocolate praline crunch, milk caramel toffee, raspberries and caramel mousse:

It was rather sweet, but that was expected. 

I couldn't resist photographing these passionfruit and raspberry swirl pavlovas out to cool near our table - I so want to try making something like this myself:

On our second trip to Daci & Daci, we were there for lunch.  I ordered a lamb sausage roll, which came with a lovely tomato chutney on the side:

This sausage roll tasted as good as it looks, with beautiful crisp flaky pastry and a filling with just the right amount of spice.

I also could not resist buying a raspberry and passionfruit swirl meringue, which came with a side of vanilla icecream: 

How gorgeous is that?  It tasted lovely too - being a meringue, it was mostly crisp and crunchy, and on taking a bite, shattered before melting in the mouth.

On our second visit, it was the day of the bikies' annual Christmas ride with toys for children.  I have never seen so many motor bikes in one place in my life:

We loved Daci & Daci with its beautiful baked goods arranged beautifully and housed in old fashioned surrounds.  We'd definitely go back.
