Best of Brisbane
Don't miss out on the headlines from Best of Brisbane. Followed categories will be added to My News.
We eat cake for all sorts of occasions and sometimes with no occasion at all. Brisbane has some incredible makers of cake and they’re certainly not afraid to take whisks (and risks).
Brisbane’s best celebration cake makers can now be revealed, after The Courier-Mail readers nominated and voted for their favourites.
See who made the top 10 below.
10. Jocelyn’s Provisions, Fortitude Valley, Albion & Camp Hill
Since it was established in 1996, Jocelyn’s Provisions has gained a nationwide reputation for its pastries, provisions and of course, their fine cakes.
They offer bespoke cakes of all flavours with lashings of luscious buttercream frosting and are baked using the best ingredients and traditional recipes retaining that old world charm.
9. Cakes and Shit, Fortitude Valley & Enoggera
Cakes and Shit combines a love of baking and a dirty sense of humour to give their customers cakes they’ll never forget.
From stripper cakes to drunk Barbie cakes and everything in between #NSFW is their specialty.
You can bet nothing is too naughty to be custom shaped or spelled at this store of sweet treats where they love cake possibly more than they love swearing.
8. Three Girls Skipping, Graceville
A cafe and bakery open 7 days a week, Three Girls Skipping may serve pastries and light savoury fare everyday but it’s their delicious cakes that have put them on our list as one of Brisbane’s best celebration cake providers.
You can’t go past their sponge filled with homemade strawberry jam, vanilla whipped cream and fresh strawberries or their yummy rhubarb crumble.
7. Sugar Art by Zoe Byres, Gordon Park
Brisbane award-winning cake designer and sugar artist Zoe Byres is the mastermind behind Gordon Park cake studio Sugar Art.

5. Marche du Macaron, Gordon Park & Ashgrove
Marche du Macaron is a family-run cafe and bakery that makes all their delectable cakes and pastries by hand onsite.
With people often thinking their treats are just “too good” to be gluten free, it’s understandable how Marche du Macaron’s sweets are what gluten-free dreams are made of.
4. A Splendid Cake
Every special occasion needs a splendid cake according to one of Brisbane’s favourite cake makers Jessica Padilha.
The mum of four and self-taught cake maker and decorator found cake making a creative outlet and just heaps of fun.
Sweet and simple birthday cakes, drip cakes, and textured tiered wedding cakes, you know Jess will make you a cake you’ll adore.
3. Vanilla Pod Specialty Cakes, Albion
With signature cake flavours like lavender and vanilla bean, red velvet butter cake and lemon and raspberry white chocolate mud cake, it’s no wonder why Vanilla Pod is a Brisbane favourite.
Vanilla Pod specialises in cakes for any and every occasion.
Vanilla Pod owner and creative director Carla Burns says, “Merging buttercream with my experience within the arts, love of interior design and client inspo photos has resulted in some amazing showstopping designs.”
2. Lady Bouchon, Albion
This small batch market bakery creates beautiful simplistic creations like pistachio cake with rose cream cheese frosting or lovely lemonade and elderflower cakes with pressed flowers strives to keep supporting local and share their knowledge and passion for food with the Brisbane community.
“Lady Bouchon is a celebration of all my experiences, whether it be my apprenticeship, staging abroad at the most beautiful bakeries or my continued appreciation for design and art,” Founder and pastry chef of Lady Bouchon Catherine Marot says.
Though there’s no shop front just yet, their kitchen is based in Albion and they provide a delivery service between Brisbane & Gold Coast.
1. Petal + Peach, Wellington Point
Petal + Peach is a small artisan cakery that is all about putting the “good taste” back into cake design. Their unmatched perfectionism is evident in every cake they make.
From their locally and ethically sourced ingredients and heirloom family recipes to the unique way they incorporate seasonal blooms on each of our cake designs, a Petal + Peach cake will taste as fabulous as it looks.
Petal + Peach’s Rebecca says, “I’m grateful for the opportunity to help create sentimental memories of long planned celebrations by contributing something sweet (and perfectly beautiful) to your event.”
