From chocolate bunnies to vegan chocolate and eggs in all shapes and sizes with vibrant hand-painted designs, My Sugar is the place to do all your Easter treat shopping.

Known for its delicious ice creams, Paul’s also serves other amazing treats. The golden speckled eggs and beautifully iced cakes with springtime colour schemes are the perfect Easter table additions.

It consists of a luxurious carrot cake ice cream, golden pecan nut brittle and dark chocolate fudge sauce, enrobed in a thin layer of chocolate.

Old Town Italy
