Boutique Club Street bakery Lucia Cakes is popular for its brownies, and they’ve adapted them to become Quarantine Brownies. A box comes with nine bite-sized fudgey squares with a choice of six flavours: Triple Chocolate, Salted Dark Chocolate, Yuzu White Chocolate, Biscoff, Nutella and Peanut Butter. These come topped with a Circuit Breaker-related message piped on a sheet of fondant, such as: “Wash your hands”. Brighten up someone’s day by sending them a box.
Besides “wash your hands”, you can choose: “don’t touch your face”, “don’t hoard toilet paper”, SMILE! , “Sending you love”, “stay safe, stay home” and our fave — “don’t be a covidiot”. For you know, that covidiot that everyone has in their life. You can also add a hand-written note that will be tied onto the box with a ribbon for an extra $2.
