Taylor Swift themed food, drink to try in Melbourne

Drinks riffing on her favourite tipple and cookies shaped like her head? Melbourne restaurants, clubs and bakeries are going cray cray for Tay Tay by selling these novelty eats and treats.

Are you ready for it?

Swifty mania has taken Melbourne by storm two weeks before megastar Taylor Swift lands in town for the Aussie leg of her global The Era’s Tour.

Local restaurants are going cray-cray for Tay-Tay, hosting themed brunches, dinners and parties packed with Swift’s favourite eats and treats.

Crazy cookie creators The Confectionist is selling biscuits of Taylor’s face at Richmond’s Co. Bake Space ahead of her first show on Friday 16 February.

Baker Georgia Chiarella did a Taylor Swift “deep dive” for cookie design inspo.

“I think I’m a Swifty now,” she said.

She’ll make hundreds of Swift-themed vanilla butter biscuits with royal icing, as well as loaded cookies for the three-day pop-up.

“We have (a face cookie) of her iconic red glasses and black hat look, and another more glam one,” Ms Chiarella said.

“We also have song lyrics, album covers, cardigans, guitars … gingerbreads in iconic Taylor outfits.”

Loaded cookie flavours, inspired by the popstar’s albums Red (red velvet) and Lover (marshmallow fairy floss), as well as a riff on Taylor’s chai tea Tumblr cookies, will also be sold.

The French Blondie is being shaken up at Chin Chin and Yakimono.

It’s a Love Story (cake), baby just say yes.

For portable snacks, Wonderpies has created a Love Story funfetti cake and a Taylor Made chicken pie as an ode to her favourite dish.

The spinkle-crusted vanilla sponge cake is layered with cloud-like buttercream frosting and raspberry jam, while the French glazed shortcrust pie is filled with chicken tenders in a luscious mustard-spiked bechamel sauce with leek and cheese.

In the city, Chin Chin and Yakimono restaurants will be shaking up (or off) a French Blondie cocktail; a take on her favourite French 75 tipple.

On concert weekend, Prahran pub The Smith is hosting a bottomless-brunch slinging ‘Champagne Style’ mimosa cocktails and ‘Sweet Lover’ and ‘Anti Karma’ spritzes while Drag Queens belt out the hits.

Richmond’s The Posty is seeing red with jugs of red or rose sangria as an ode to her fourth studio album of the same name, at its pre-show bottomless brunch.

After the show, Ballers Clubhouse in the CBD will have themed-drinks on demand with a Reputation Refresher, Speak No Spritz and 1989 with Lime, plus prizes for the best dressed.

Don’t fear, regional Victorians aren’t missing out on the fun.

Mt Duneed Estate’s Sunday Swiftie Sesh, held this weekend, is putting song lyric-inspired bites centre stage: from the Welcome to New York pastrami bagel, red velvet cupcakes and Lavender Haze creme brulee, washed down with a Lovers lemonade.
