Specialty desserts have been created and added to the menus of 14 local businesses to delight the tastebuds of our community during the 10-day Taste Bundaberg Festival.
Bundaberg Regional Council's Arts, Culture and Events portfolio spokesperson Cr John Learmonth said the Taste Bundaberg Festival was a highlight on the local annual event calendar, with the Dessert Trail providing further tantalising opportunities to enjoy local food delights.
“Dessert lovers can enjoy a variety of flavours and delicacies, ranging from bespoke gelato, pastries and muffins, confectionary, sweet pizzas to designer sorbet cocktails,” he said.
“Dessert Trail treats are exclusive during the ten days of the festival and created with at least 75% local produce.
“Local businesses are given the opportunity to participate in the Taste Bundaberg Festival on a smaller scale by being involved in the Dessert Trail.
“The Dessert Trail is a sweet treat treasure map, which includes the locations of businesses for the community to discover and enjoy their delicious, dessert creations.
“The Taste Bundaberg Festival helps boost tourism to our region and puts us on the map as the food bowl of Queensland.”
