I requested a Vanilla Saint Honore at short notice (the night before), online ordering had already cut-off. I texted the phone number online, I got a response immediately and Quentin was happy to accommodate my late request! I drove 50mins in morning traffic to get to Hillsdale for pick-up, the cake (is it a cake? Or pastry? I don’t care), was a master piece, it looked beautiful and I couldn’t wait for my daughter to see it for her birthday (she is hard to impress when it comes to sweets - she absolutely loved it) as did my family. I highly recommend Qollection, the Saint Honore was exceptional, the cream/custard was light and airy - not heavy or gluggy. The pastry was so crisp and not softened by the cream/custard layer, even though we ate it about eight hours after pick-up! I would happily travel again to get another Qollection master piece and I recommend everybody else does too, you will definitely NOT be disappointed. Thank you Quentin, you are such a lovely and talented...

After 25 years of disappointments with overpriced and overly sweet imitations, Qollection’s Paris-Brest was a real pleasure: light choux pastry, a silky praline cream, and ; very important for French people ; not too sweet! We also tried the cannelés and chouquettes, which tasted just like the real thing.
Living in Canberra, I’m a little jealous of Sydneysiders who can collect these beautiful cakes whenever they want. We’ve already ordered a Saint-Honoré and can’t wait to try it very soon. The collection process was easy, the welcome in the shop was very friendly, and I loved seeing that slices of flan and tarts are also available on the premises.
Merci Quentin pour votre travail, la gourmandise et le bonheur que ces délicieuses pâtisseries nous...
Read moreI can’t recommend this business highly enough. The quality and taste and their cakes and tarts is amazing- clearly prepared by a qualified pastry chef who takes pride in their work, uses high quality produce and cares deeply about customer satisfaction. I really appreciated their customer service when I called late in the afternoon on a Saturday and they were able to prepare a tart at very short notice ( even though you normally need order in advance) . Try this business, you won’t be disappointed and like me you’ll be ordering their cakes and pastries for all special occasions to come. Keep in mind re sizing, a four piece cake/ tart definitely won’t cater for more than four so if you are catering for 6 or more get the 6-8 piece (or more, like the 10 piece max so there’s an opportunity...
