Sams Sweetstache
I f you are looking for something that tastes of Christmas, but want to stray away from the typical fare we suggest you try Sams Sweetstache, run by Home Baker Alvin Van Gramberg. Alvin offers both traditional items like Eggnog and Yule log, as well as his own original creations inspired by all that’s Christmas.
Most notable is his beef braided bread, which consists of a well spiced minced beef filling baked into a braided bread. The bread itself is deliciously soft and buttery, while the filling spiced with cardamon and star anise exudes Christmassy scents. Another of his originals, is the Giant Cinnamon Scroll. A twist on the classic cinnamon roll, the nine inch scroll is infused with nutmeg and cinnamon and drizzled with Lindt chili orange chocolate.
Eaten like cake, the scroll serves up to twelve peo- ple. He’s also taken the classic mince fruit pie filling and created it into a spread, to be eaten with a slice of breudher or bread, so that you have a little bite of Christmas with every slice.
Using a traditional Dutch family recipe, his eggnog, is deliciously spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, with the cognac giving it that extra kick. The yule log too is traditional, with rustic exterior giving it a homely feel. But the rich chocolate ganache on top makes it a little decadent.
Alvin who started Sams Sweetstache when he was in Papua New Guinea back in 2011, loves to incorporate a rustic look to his creations, while ensuring that only the best of ingredients are used. This, he admits, makes his fare a tad expensive but he believes it’s worth it as it ensures quality.Though currently also working in event management, Alvin only requires between one to three days for most orders. Items can either be picked up from Wattala, or delivery can be arranged for a fee. Contact no :
