Charlie's Worldcakes glorious cakes
This weekend was so chilled out – we had a lazy morning on Saturday, just kicking back on the sofa and chatting for a few hours, catching up on each others thoughts. I love our Saturday mornings when we get the chance to do that.
I really wanted to go take some photos on Saturday afternoon, so we saddled up and headed North to check out Scarborough Beach and have some lunch. Now Perth’s northern beach suburbs get a lot of hype about being where its all happening – all the rich folks live in giant houses overlooking the sea – whats not to like, right?
Well Scarborough was nice enough – the surf was up and hundreds of surfers were catching waves in the warm afternoon. We sat and had fish and chips and watched the surfers wipe out which was nice – but I had expected more and actually, Scarborough was a bit nothing really
There’s not that much there apart from the bloody great hotel complex – Rockingham has way more cafes and classy restaurants. So much for the millionaire’s playground then. We drove on up past Trigg, North Beach, Marmion and Sorrento and I have to say – meh! Big ugly vulgar houses, flash cars, people jogging up the footpath, only the occasional overpriced cafe and so little character to be seen anywhere.
As disappointing as the places were, we had fun just driving about.
We drove back to Fremantle to have a wander around the markets and get some decent culture and a coffee on the strip.
We found a wonderful little cupcake shop in the markets – My Yummy Vice – http://www.myyummyvice.com which had gluten free and vegan cupcakes – so we stocked up 🙂 Awesome end to the day 🙂
Best cakes ever. Well, maybe apart from the ones I made 😉

I wouldn’t be able to compare since you’ve never made vegan ones for me *sigh*
Yes, that was a hint. Take it and run with it.
*and just for the record, they were the worst chips ever, though your fish looked ok.

ha! No chance! Oh, ok, I might give it a go at the weekend 🙂
And yes, the chips were a bit blah compared to our local one, which are the best chips in the world.
