Sydney's Black Star Pastry's cult-like following has come primarily as a result of its strawberry watermelon cake. Sydney-siders will make their way through rail, hail or shine (I may have exaggerated that a tad bit) for the divine combination of almond dacquoise, whipped cream, watermelon, strawberries, Iranian pistachios and rose petals. I knew from the moment I took my first spoonful of this cake that I would be making the pilgrimage back here often.
