Google lists: delivery · takeaway. > They say you only live once, but you should definitely have this cake more often. A divine slice of cake, very reasonably priced and a warm welcoming service for a solo diner like myself. If I didn’t know any better, I would definitely say your baking skills are pure magic ✨ Looking forward to coming back soon and thank you for always hitting my sweet spot! 🍰 🎯, Nataša Brass, 2 months ago > Never had a bad experience yet! Such a friendly, kind group of people, nice clean, quiet location and the cake is consistently amazing. Have had a cake made for a family members birthday right before Christmas and was happily accommodated. The cake held up beautifully for a few days in the fridge and after being left out to soften for a few hours before being served, the texture was still perfect. Everyone loved it including the birthday girl. Highly highly recommended. -Sarah, Sarah, 5 months ago > Saw on FB page their creations and finally get to check it out. Had their freshly made chocolate fudge cake filled with layers of milk chocolate ganache, Cadbury's tiramisu chocolate, espresso soaked lady fingers biscuits, and vanilla bean cream cheese icing. Wrapped in a vanilla bean buttercream with a dusting of cocoa. Very generous slice and surprisingly cheap for that quality. Mind-blowing experience. One of the tastiest cakes tried in a long while. The texture, freshness, balance of sweetness. Coffee was great too and cheaper than most cafes in town. A quaint, sunny shop.
