Pasticceria Chantilly, Modica - Review

A little break from the usual reviews of bars and restaurants to talk about a lovely little pasticceria in the centre of Modica Bassa.

At Chantilly you can find a lovely range of cakes and biscuits, as well as Modica chocolate and a variety of local liquors and wines. Always beautifully presented and freshly made on the premises, whatever you choose, your sweet-tooth is sure to be delighted.

In the warmer months, you will also find a small selection of home-made Italian ice cream and some frozen desserts.

This weekend we celebrated Totó's 40th birthday with a little dinner party at home. While I love cooking, I'm not hugely into baking so Chantilly was my first choice of where to order a special cake for a special celebration. The lady in the shop was so accommodating, chatty and helpful. We agreed on a lemon cake with cream and for the decoration to include a picture of a camera, since Totó is a photographer.

So Saturday night arrived and after our dinner, the cake was served along with some celebratory champagne. Fabulously decorated, the birthday boy was incredibly happy with the design. When we tucked in, all of the group were thrilled with the lovely, moist, lemony taste. A triumph!

The cake was ready 24 hours after I ordered it and cost just €17 for a cake that could easy feed eight people as a dessert.
