GREETINGS CAPE TOWN

It's been a little quiet on here lately, but I promise you, the kitchen hasn't been quiet!

For the past month, I've been settling into my new role as Pastry Chef at Avero Italian Kitchen, and it's been an exciting chapter of creativity, experimentation and rediscovering why I fell in love with pastry in the first place.

One of the things I've been working on is putting my own spin on a timeless Italian classic — TIRAMISU.

Alongside the traditional version, I've been experimenting with different flavours, textures and combinations, giving this beloved dessert a few unexpected twists.

And this particular creation? Crème Brûlée Tiramisu. 🔥

Layers of classic tiramisu topped with silky baked crème brûlée, a caramelised finish, and homemade almond biscotti.

The response to this one has been absolutely overwhelming, and I figured it was about time I stopped keeping all these creations to myself!

So consider this my little reintroduction.

Pastry By Simba is back, and I'm inviting you into my world of pastry once again. Expect new flavours, familiar classics reimagined, a little experimentation, and hopefully a few delicious surprises along the way.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU ❤️

Before I go any further, I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported, contributed to, or shared my BackaBuddy campaign.

Your generosity and encouragement helped me get to where I am today. I haven't forgotten that, and I never will.

I'm forever grateful that you helped make this next chapter possible. Now I get to share the journey, the creativity and the fruits of that support with you.

Here's to new beginnings, exciting creations, and making dessert something worth looking forward to.

Welcome back to my world.

For a month I have been advertising Pastry Boxes that I will be selling this weekend. Today was a shocker because I've received 5 cancelations so what I thought would be 4 boxes left to sale is now 9 boxes left to sale.

I've taken the weekend off work to sale the boxes so if you are or know anyone that's interested in a box drop me a whatsapp at 072 428 2543. The pick up is from my place in Claremont.

Thank you
Simba
