It was the fifth time she had made the journey since last month,when Paull announced the closure of the bakery.
“They are the most beautiful cakes I’ve ever had,but they’re more than just cakes,” Allen said. “It’s for the memories.”
Beatrix’s passionfruit chiffon reminds Allen of her baby shower,while the cheesecakes evoke memories of catching up with friends outside the beloved bakery.
Allen has even stockpiled slices in her freezer to prolong that final bite.
Her friend,Maree Chintock,said she had bought Beatrix cakes to celebrate milestones and promotions and to commemorate deaths and job losses.
“It’s the emotions and the memories that the cakes bring back,” she said “It’s not just a sugar fix.”
