  • We're super stoked to have had the opportunity to film and publish our first ever documentary based in Melbourne, Australia!
    This is Lulu & me Cheesecakes, a one-of-a-kind dessert spot where the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by Michael Diamandis, along with talented pastry chef duo Dilu and Jini Kulathungam and their whole team of hospitable chefs. This charming bakery offers an experience like no other, complete with an open kitchen where you can watch their expert bakers at work.
    Lulu & Me specializes in a unique pay-by-weight concept for their famous Basque cheesecakes, available in flavours like traditional, pandan, chocolate layer, and even New York-style cheesecake. You can sample the cheesecakes before you decide on your perfect slice.
    The bakery’s spacious and minimalist interior is home to only the essentials: baking equipment and a beautiful display cabinet featuring a custom copper light fixture designed by the founder’s father. This all serves to give space for conversation, community, and connection with one another; no chairs, no tables, just good old fashion dance floor vibes.

    We have a concept of medicinal cheesecake in our family......its for days where everything goes wrong and the world seems terrible to you, we go and have a piece of cheesecake to brighten the day. Its a treat for the really terrible times and not just a bad day so the cheesecake is always seen as an extra special treat.

      📙THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age is the Age of the Kingdom or Word that Christ brought to purify man"
      Only Those Who Have Experienced God's WORK Really Believe in God
      Almighty God said
      Although many people believe in God, few understand what the MEANING of FAITH in GOD is WHAT they MUST DO to FOLLOW GOD'S HEART. This is because, ALTHOUGH people KNOW very well the WORD "God" and phrases like "the work of God," "they DO NOT KNOW GOD, much less do they KNOW His WORK.🙏
      No wonder, then, that all those who do not know God hold a confused belief. People are not serious about their belief in God because belief in God is too unknown, too strange for them. In this way, they cannot meet God's demands. In other words, then they are not fit for God's use, much less can they fulfill God's will. "Belief in God" MEANS BELIEF that God exists; this is the simplest understanding of faith in God. 🔴
      Additionally, BELIEVING THERE IS A GOD IS NOT THE SAME AS TRUE BELIEF in GOD; BUT, this is a KIND OF SIMPLE FAITH with STRONG RELIGIOUS MEANINGS. TRUE FAITH in GOD MEANS EXPERIENCE the WORDS and ACTIONS of GOD based on a BELIEF that GOD has the HAND of POWER over ALL THINGS. That way you will be FREED from your BAD DISPOSITION, WILL FULFILL what GOD desires and KNOW God. Only THROUGH such a journey can you be said to believe in God. However, people often see belief in God as something very simple and insignificant. The belief of such people is meaningless and will never gain God's approval, because they are walking the wrong path.
      Today, there are still those who believe in God through letters, in empty doctrines. They did not realize that their belief in God had no substance and that they could not gain God's approval and yet they prayed for peace and sufficient grace from God. We must stop and ask ourselves: Could believing in God really be the easiest thing on earth? Does believing in God only mean receiving many graces from God? 🔴
      Can people who believe in God but do not know Him, and believe in God but oppose Him, really be able to fulfill what God desires?
      GOD and MAN CANNOT be said to be equal. His substance and His work are the most unfathomable and unfathomable to man. 🙏
      IF GOD DOESN'T FORGIVELY DO HIS WORK and SPEAK HIS WORDS in the WORLD of man, then man will never understand the WILL of GOD, and thus, even those who dedicate their whole lives to God will not may attain Hisconsent. Without God's work, no matter how good man does, it will be ignored, because GOD'S THOUGHTS will ALWAYS be HIGHER than man's thoughts, and GOD'S WISDOM IS NOT. HUMAN BEINGS. And so I say those who "read" GOD and His WORK are useless, they are all arrogant and ignorant. Man should not interpret God's work; moreover, man cannot interpret God's work. In God's eyes, man is lesser than an ant, so how can man dig into God's work?
      Those who keep saying, "God doesn't work this way or that way" or "God is this way or that way"----aren't they all arrogant? 🙏
      We MUST ALL KNOW that PEOPLE, who are of the FLESH, are ALL CORRUPTED BY SATAN. It is their nature to oppose God, and they are not equal to God, much less can they offer advice for God's work. HOW GOD GUIDES PEOPLE IS TO BE DONE BY GOD HIMSELF. 🔴🙏
      MAN SHOULD BE SUBJECTED, and should not have such and such a view, ALTHOUGH MAN is only DUST. Since we are trying to find God, we should not single out our understanding of God's work for God's consideration, much less should we use our evil dispositions to deliberately try to oppose God's work. Wouldn't that make us ANTICHRISTS? HOW can such people say they believe in God? Since we believe that there is a God, and since we desire to satisfy----Him and SEE Him, we MUST FIND THE WAY OF TRUTH, and MUST FIND a way to be ACCORDING to God. We should not persist in opposing God, what good can such actions produce? 🙏
      From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh" holy book
      This prophecy was given actual meaning in (John 1:1,14 The Word / The Word Became Man). "When he began the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ..
      "The word became man and He dwelt among us. ... (Revelation 18:9,13)
      The "Savior" came already in 1991 like a thief, so He prepared us then to be like those waiting for the return of his Lord so that when he comes and "knocks" we can immediately open the door. He came to "save" us by purifying with His Word the kingdom He brought down to earth with His holy name and His totality engraved on, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 This is the fulfillment of "The Letter to the Church of Philadelphia" (Revelation 3:12)"The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the NAME of my God, and the name of the CITY of my God, the NEW JERUSALEM that will come down from HEAVEN to My God. I will also engrave my NEW NAME on him." ... And in (Matthew 16:18-19) "And I say to you, you are Peter, and UNDER this rock I will BUILD my CHURCH, and not the power of death will prevail over him. I will give YOU the KEY to the kingdom of heaven: what you forbid on earth you will forbid in heaven and what you allow on earth it will be allowed in heaven." ... The fulfillment of His return is everything recorded in the great book of Revelation (such as these important ones, The Seals, The Bowls of God's Wrath, The Millennium, and The New Heavens and New Earth.) This is the beginning of A Thousand Years of Gathering Spirits that have becomeperfect because of His Word, and the beginning of the 144,000 (Revelation 14:3-4) "The Song of the Redeemed") from the twelve tribes of Israel who faithfully serve the Lamb, the first offerings until the number of 200,000,000 became perfect. (Revelation 6:10-11 and 9:16 "The Seals"). ... Because the Lamb in the middle of the THRONE will be their PASTOR .... (Revelation 7:17)💐

    Waiting for some overhead camera system that can read the calibrated distance between two knives and on a small display show in real time an approximation of the price as you widen, close the distance between, dependant on the type of product being cut.
    I have no doubt there will be people wanting to enjoy but inwardly worried about the price based on where the knife falls....
    Some way for the customers who are price conscious to have a degree of control for price and not just their eyes/appetite.
