Sweet tooths, assemble. Pastry chef Pierre Roelofs and his team of wicked enablers are resurrecting their legendary dessert evenings, shattering our halfhearted plans to cut down on the sweet stuff in 2019. Oops.
After five years at Cafe Rosamond in Fitzroy and a few pop-ups around the traps, Roelofs' dessert extravaganzas are making a return to Collingwood. This time, however, they're taking place at Terror Twilight. The cafe will turn all things sweet for three nights in February, May, August and November. Luckily, there's still spots left for all of them — for now. We suggest snapping some tickets up quickly, these babies sell like hotcakes (or, should we say, like dessert-filled test tubes).
If you haven't been to an evening before, you can expect a four-course degustation — the catch being that all four courses are dessert. The menu is top secret and changes every time. We can tell you that previous evenings have involved ridiculous concoctions of mascarpone, strawberry, honey, orange, cardamom and speculaas, as well as a deconstructed bread and butter pudding served in one of Roelofs' famed dessert test tubes.
Tickets for the dessert feast will set you back $75 with non-alcoholic beverages able to be purchased separately on the night. To book your spot (quickly) head to the website.
There are two sittings for Pierre Roelofs' dessert evenings each night: 7pm and 8.40pm.
