Tesoro

Description

Designed for romance, Tesoro is our Valentine’s Day showstopper — elegant, vibrant and made to be shared. Whether you’re planning a relaxed picnic or a sweet moment for two, this cake captures everything we love about Valentine’s Day in Melbourne: colour, flavour and a sense of occasion without the fuss.

At first glance, Tesoro is all about impact. Finished in a glossy red glaze and topped with delicate chocolate hearts, it’s a dessert that instantly feels special. But it’s what’s inside that truly sets it apart. The outer layer of smooth strawberry mousse is light, creamy and gently sweet, creating the perfect contrast to the bold flavours layered within.

Cut through the centre and you’ll discover bright lemon and yuzu curd — fresh, citrusy and beautifully balanced — paired with a vibrant raspberry compote that adds a pop of tartness and depth. These layers bring freshness and lift, making Tesoro feel indulgent yet refined, never heavy. Everything rests on a dark chocolate madeleine sponge, adding richness and structure with subtle cocoa notes that ground the fruit-forward flavours.

Individually portioned yet generous, Tesoro is ideal for sharing between two — one fork or two, picnic blanket optional. It’s the kind of dessert that suits a Valentine’s Day picnic perfectly: easy to transport, effortless to enjoy, and memorable enough to feel like a true celebration. Skip dinner, grab a blanket, and let dessert be the main event.

Brunetti Classico has long been a favourite Melbourne date spot, and Tesoro was created with that spirit in mind. It’s perfect for couples who want something thoughtful and beautiful without committing to a full sit-down meal. Pair it with coffee, a sweet treat or a takeaway drink, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxed Valentine’s Day experience.

If you’re searching for a Valentine’s Day gift that feels considered but not overdone, Tesoro strikes the perfect balance. It’s romantic without being cliché, playful yet polished, and designed to be enjoyed in the moment. Whether you’re celebrating long-term love or something brand new, Tesoro turns a simple picnic into something unforgettable.

This Valentine’s Day in Melbourne, skip the bookings and keep it simple. Grab a blanket, head somewhere scenic, and let Brunetti Classico take care of dessert — with Tesoro at the centre of it all.
