Whole cakes can be pre-ordered at the pop-up with 48 hours advance notice. For the first time, two special drinks – strawberry limeade and a homemade root beer float – will be up for sipping. Especially tempting is the launch of the red velvet candy cane cake (pictured top) in mid-December for the holidays. All of Butter’s most popular goodies will be available by the slice ($80/pie slice or $90/cake slice), which means the likes of apple pie, banana cream pie, triple chocolate cake, cheesecake and more for solo festive feasting. We’re fans of just about every cake and pie baked up by Black Sheep Restaurants' online bakery Butter, so we’ll be making a mad dash to this extended pop-up, on from December until May 2021.
