That delightful moment where a croissant meets a muffin results in the snack-goals masterpiece known as the ‘Cruffin’. This issue, we’re delighted to have Roman Urosevski of Son Of A Baker show us how to make of of his best-selling signature products. Roman makes this one filled with a decadent chocolate mousse and dipped in Lindt milk chocolate, but the beauty of the cruffin is that once you’ve got the base, you can turn it into anything, with any filling your heart desires.
Roman Urosevski is a second generation baker who had the option to choose his own adventure or take on his father’s bakery. Ultimately, he decided to strike out and make his own mark on the baking world. While going it alone hasn’t been without challenges, Roman jumped off the starting blocks quickly, opening three successful stores within just eight months of each other and turning Son Of A Baker into a Sydney icon. Roman spends much of his time collaborating and reinventing products to keep his offering fresh, exciting, and Instagram-able!
