CUPCAKES are all the rage in Melbourne at the moment but you’ll be hard pressed to find any sweeter than those at Sweet Source.
Condos obviously has a soft spot for comfort food. After all, it’s not often you find Lime Delicious on a menu. Just like the lemon ones grandma used to make after a lamb roast, it’s a steal at $5.50. But then again, so is the chocolate Smartie brownie for $3.20 a slice. Other options include a fruit pie and Linzer torte but only the extremely strong willed could say no to one of Condos’ spectacular cupcakes piled high on the antique cake stand on the counter.
Coffees are $3 and if you’re part of the burgeoning chai latte movement you’ll pick one up for the same price.
Carlton North locals have been getting their sugar fix from Sweet Source for about a year. Condos opened the doors after years of fine-tuning her pastry chef skills in New York, London and more locally at Stephanie Alexander’s Richmond Hill Café and Larder.
Clearly, she knows what she’s doing in the kitchen so next time you’re in the neighborhood nab yourself a window seat, browse the collection of Gourmet Travelers and sink your teeth into a cupcake. You won’t be disappointed.

Blog's looking good Zoe.
As I live in the area, I will definitely be checking out Sweet Source in the near future.
(Nice use of the word 'sneaky' too.)
How do they compare to the Magnolia Bakery recipe??
Compromise on the size of your cupcake?!? Naaaaah ;-)
BTW - congratulations on your new site. Look forward to hearing about all your foodie adventures.
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Think I might grab a "sneaky" Sweet Source cupcake to celebrate...
Your new blog is great and will definitely be keeping an eye on it. I think the next challenge is to find the best steak in Melbourne ...
Love the blog Zoe, nice one
I'll be checking it often
Love the blog. I went to Sweet Source yesterday to check it out for myself and got the most gorgeous little vanilla cuppie with pink frosting...y-u-m!
I'm taking on the seven day cupcake challenge in NYC Thu 19 Jul - Thu 16 Jul. Stay tuned!
