Your Easter Bucket List

Posted on 15 April, 2017

It’s Easter and that usually means lots and lots of chocolate…

…usually the same old Cadbury Dairy Milk. But mix it up a bit with one of these Easter treat options around town this weekend….

Ricardo’s

Our Golden egg Easter trifle this egg is full of hot cross bun custard, raspberry jelly, chocolate brownie, sponge & mini Easter egg hunt all inside! #hercanberra #visitcanberra #eatcanberra #spacekitchen #dessert #canberrafood #ricardoscafe #outincanberra #easter #chocolate

Hop over to Jamison Plaza and visit Ricardo’s Café and Patisserie to indulge in their incredibly delicious desserts, including the new Ricardo’s Golden Egg Easter Trifle. This handcrafted Easter egg includes all your favourite Easter desserts with hot cross bun, raspberry jelly, chocolate brownie, sponge and mini eggs all packed into one beautiful package!

If that doesn’t sound like your jam (although I don’t think there would be many of you), Ricardo’s is also offering adorable hot cross bun macarons and delicate chocolate bunnies, so there’s something for every chocoholic.
