Paper and poppies

Well it's no secret that I'm a fan of cupcakes, it's in the name!

While I was away one of my gorgeous friends came across a pic on her social feeds from a new bakery, not far from her, in Woolooware. She was hearing rave reviews from a few friends that had ventured down and thought it would be a good place to check out for our semi-regular high tea. 

Unfortunately for us though our excitement got the better of us and we decided to go down on the first available Saturday that we were all free, which was last weekend, and coincidentally the last Saturday of the month which is the only Saturday that they DON'T do high tea. 

Oh well. 

Last weekend we headed down in the morning to beat the rush. Ha, that didn't work but we did get a table after a little while and managed to score that last 2 scones of the day which should tell you something about this fledgling shops booming popularity. 

Seeing as we couldn't do official high tea we decided to create our own selection of tea, cupcakes and scones which worked pretty successfully. 

They have a huge range of tea which you can also buy to take home if you fall in love with it and they provided a tea timer (pictured) to ensure the perfect brew. Major points in my humble,tea obsessed opinion. 

The also do delectable hot chocolate for the less tea inclined. 

They have a huge range of cupcakes, tarts, brownies and donuts so we were in no way disadvantaged by our lack of high tea fare. The decor is beautiful and bright with a nice mix of vintage feel and clean finishes. They even pulled out an extra table and chairs to accommodate their eager patrons, how's that for service. 

Our selection on the day ended up being a peanut butter and a Nutella brownie, lemon meringue, pink lemonade and gaytime cupcakes, as well as a caramel filled donut (not pictured)

Not only did we overdose on delicious sugary goodness we were also so enamoured that we all got things to take away for our significant others/flat mates.

Their brilliant baking genius even made this easy for us with cake-in-a-jars! How could we refuse, really?

Finally, I know I've met a like minded soul when both pink lemonade soda and cupcakes are in abundance.

All in all I would highly recommend a visit to Paper and Poppies. If you can catch their high tea let me know how it was!
