We're at Cherry Blossom Festival

We're at Cherry Blossom Festival

Mark your calendars and dust off your picnic rugs because we're setting up shop at this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival at Auburn Botanic Gardens, and we’re bringing one very special treat with us.

From Saturday 16th to Sunday 24th August, you’ll find us parked up in our beloved caravan, nestled under a canopy of sakura blossoms and surrounded by bonsai, kimonos, cultural performances and about 135,000 cherry blossom enthusiasts and you. 

We'll be serving a dessert made just for the occasion.
Aunty Tomsu’s Cheesecake $14 - Japanese cheesecake, strawberry & cherry blossom cream, strawberry meringue, strawberries & strawberry gelato.

It’s soft, fluffy, floral, and fruity. If cherry blossoms could be eaten, this is what they’d taste like. We'll also be bringing a few of our standard scoop flavours (Pistachio praline, Cookies and Cream, Matcha, Mango sorbet and Tiramisu) so there's something for everyone.

You'll find us in section JFF1 - near Tokyo Lamington

TL;DR 👀 We’ll be at the Cherry Blossom Festival at Auburn Botanic Gardens from 16th–24th August, serving up a limited-edition dessert: Aunty Tomsu’s Cheesecake - Japanese cheesecake with strawberry & cherry blossom cream, strawberry meringue, strawberries & strawberry gelato.
