Brisbane's Best Cake Shops

Updated: Jan 07, 2025

Brisbane has some fantastic artisan cake shops, from cup cake parlours to bespoke cake kitchens. If you're looking for the best of the best, check out this list, including a gluten free patisserie/cake shop by the bay and a couple from Ipswich that are worth travelling for:

Albion’s go-to for exquisite cakes and scrumptious sweet treats, Vanilla Pod Cake Kitchen features glass cabinets of melt-in-the-mouth cupcakes, slices, sponge cakes, cake pops and cookies. For special occasions, Vanilla Pod have it all covered too, from sponges to mind-blowing decadent layer cakes, novelty (from T-rex to disco ball), specialty and pinata cakes
An artisan cake maker/decorator renowned for her spectacular special occasion cakes, Judy C runs a tiny coffee parlour from her cake shop. For the better part of the last two decades, Judy C has been Brisbane's cake queen, with her exquisite attention to detail and her customer service
Although Cupcakes by K is largely a ‘baked to order’ business, it is really worth dropping in to this charming little Chermside shop with its crystal chandelier, teddies and antique cash register to snaffle up samples and leftovers on weekends.All cupcakes are vanilla and butter based, with a to-die-for butter cream icing and are freshly made on the day of collection or delivery
Since 2004, the elegant little cake parlour in Mt Gravatt has been run by Mimi Dal Maso, who works tirelessly to create classic, customised, and timeless cakes for every occasion. Delicious cake flavours include chocolate mud, white chocolate mud, caramel , marble, vanilla butter, and red velvet
A pocket-sized cake shop in Ascot, where you'll find cupcakes in flavours like vanilla, chocolate, carrot, and red velvet, topped with either vanilla or chocolate buttercream, layer cakes like chocolate sour cream cake with white chocolate ganache and traditional two-layer Victorian sponge cake, as well as flourless cakes and decadent celebration cakes
An artisan cake patisserie and cafe in Fortitude Valley, serves diners beautifully presented cakes and pastries, as well as also making incredible cakes for weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.I f dining in, indulge in one of their cakes from the cabinet, with far more inventive creations than a simple vanilla or chocolate cake. Cakes on offer include their matcha and red bean slice cake
The West End bakery offers a range of delicious slices/slab cakes such as Mum's chocolate cake, baked cheesecake, sticky apple and cinnamon tea cake, or red velvet cake with cherries and chocolate mousse, which are sold by weight rather than size. Have a sliver of cake, a piece as big as your hand, or buy the whole 9-inch slab to take home
A must-visit destination for all those wanting to make, decorate, or simply just eat some delicious cake, this massive cake store on Brisbane's southside, All About Cakes is an absolute treasure trove of all things baking. As well as a generous range of ready-to-eat goodies including cakes, sponges and cheesecakes, All About Cakes also take orders for a huge range of special-occasion cakes
