Don't Lose Your Temper is a homey and cosy patisserie located in the quite Melbourne suburbia. Their cakes look amazing in pictures and real life. Just looking at them now almost made us fall for them again... if only they taste as good as they look. The proverb that "looks can be deceiving" is very fitting here😂
Neither of us are banana fans, but we had to get this heavenly looking cake, so we made an exception. We've had great banoffee desserts in the past, sadly this was not one of them. With an overload of sugar: salted peanut caramel, banana, white chocolate, marshmallow, and milk chocolate (all sweet ingredients), we soon realised getting this cake was a mistake. Given these ingredients, we think it probably takes a genius to balance the flavours without the dessert ending up like a sugar explosion.
After the initial taste test we crossed our fingers hoping this one wouldn't be another sugar bomb... but again this was another cake buried in sweetness 😰
At this point our mood hit a low point of the day, and then we remembered the name - Don't Lose Your Temper - you can't say you haven't been warned! Overall, our impression was that the two cakes we got were both sugar heavy, and lacked depth and refinement. For those looking for a sugar high this is the place.
