5 Bakeries That Make the Best Cakes in Sydney
Sydney is blessed with an incredible selection of bakeries where cake is king, coffee is sipped and service is revered. Whether you’re looking for a single slice to accompany your morning latte, or a celebration cake for an engagement party or birthday, we’ve got you covered.
This artisan bakery combines classic English and French baked goods with a little bit of modern Australian flair. They are the creators of Australia’s most Instagrammed dessert – the ethereal “stunning” chocolate pear and raspberry tart, which you can order in a variety of sizes (or even buy the entire thing). You can also get their takeaway lamingtons, scrumptious pies and scones, and if you’re really feeling like a treat, try their ricotta and strawberry cream puffs.
The team at this bakery specialise in customised cakes and sweets to suit any occasion, including birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and more. Each cake is made to order and can be decorated with any theme or colour. The cakes are not only beautifully presented, but each has a delicious and unique taste. The bakery has a great selection of cakes and sweets including the popular salted caramel, mudcake and red velvet. The bakery is based in Sydney’s CBD and offers delivery across the city and surrounds.
Known for their spectacularly decadent chocolate cakes, they also make some of the most beautiful and tasty cupcakes in Sydney. They are also known for their custom personalised sweets, which range from skulls and racing cars to Coke and Sprite bottles, customised sugar flowers and bespoke Smash Cakes – giant cakes that everyone loves to hit with mallet-like precision, like a pinata.
If you’re looking for a cake to impress, look no further than this award-winning bakery. The artisan chefs here are masters of creating stunning, unique and flavourful cakes that will wow your guests. They’re also well-known for their chocolate brownies and macarons.
This quaint inner-west cafe is a bakery, woodfired restaurant and grocer all in one. While the sourdough is excellent here (and arguably better than at Bourke Street Bakery), their cakes are what really stand out. They make some of the best carrot and flourless chocolate cakes in town, plus the ever-popular swiss meringue and fig and lemon frangipane tarts.
Salvatore Papa has given Sydney the best of Italian pastry culture and is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys a good baked ricotta, as well as classics like the cannoli tower and croquembouche.
The perfect spot for a birthday or engagement party, this bakery is a bit eccentric, a bit traditional and incredibly charming all at the same time. The bakery is famous for its scrumptious handcrafted pastries and cakes, especially the kugelhopf (a ring-shaped choux pastry filled with cheese). They also serve some of the most delicious Eastern European cakes and strudels in Sydney. You can either order online or in-store. They have a great variety of flavours and also cater to all dietary requirements. Cakes Sydney
