I found them on doordash and had to see it for myself. My vegan mate was delighted to learn about their egless cakes and vegan options. It was a small shop with friendly staff nestled in a quiet strip in Hawthorn. I tried few of their cakes as you can see in the pictures and also smashed a cup of masala chai on the side. I felt like the chai needs more flavour instead of tasting watery. On the other hand, the cakes were yummy and my mate could not stop raving about their schezwan vegetarian puff. I hope to try the betel cake next time I am in and try the puffing for myself.

I had ordered a Rose and Pistachio flavored cake which was not ready at that time and they got that ready within an hour and the flavours, texture & frosting was outstanding. I am going to recommend this bakery to all my friends.

I have been here before and waited quite a long time for a take away coffee. I also ordered some of their gluten and dairy free cakes (which incidentally are pretty much the best in Melbourne). Today was no different - except I didn’t have the luxury of waiting for 15 minutes to be served, so I had to leave empty handed. So in the interest of the business owners improving their business, I’m posting some (hopefully)constructive feedback. Maybe have more than one person serving (I noticed there was one barista who was very slowly making coffees and no one else out front), then I saw 4-5 people in the kitchen. Why not have 3-4 people in the kitchen and 2 people out front (one doing food service/ one making coffee)? Or have an order and pay online service so you can just pop in and grab your food/coffees, or have your chefs prepare food the night before if start earlier? You guys have a unique and delicious food offering but your slow service really lets you down.

I was desperately looking for a dairy free cake for a dinner party of 10 the same day. I popped in asking if they had any dairy free cake left by any chance (it was almost 5.00). They said they were sold out but they can make another one just for me in about 10 minutes. Incredible! And just 9 minutes later, they gave me this beautiful chocolate truffle cake. I was stunned! They literally saved my day! And I can now confirm it was as delicious as it looked.

A family run bakery with some fantastic gluten free options - my husband's favorite is the hazelnut cake (like a giant Ferrero rocher, but creamier). Recommended

We had our baby shower custom cake designed with them. The cake looked beautiful and it was so delightful on the inside too - it was perfect! The chocolate flavour was really rich and we were surprised the cake was almost over in 15mins - everyone loved it! Thank you

I had ordered jungle themed white forest flavour birthday cake for my daughter's 3rd birthday from here. I ordered it on a very short notice, but I am so glad that they accepted the order & made the cake exactly as we wanted. All our guests loved the cake, and I can say that as even after being pretty big, surprisingly the whole cake got finished in the party itself. Looking forward to try more such cakes!
