Ok, so I found this ridiculously delicious looking dessert at my new local bakery. I say new, but it’s not new, I just discovered it recently, it’s near my dog park and and it’s amazing. For you Melbourne people, it’s The Village Bakery in Brunswick (they don’t have a website). It’s called a Marshmallow Surprise and…
