With a Japanese Cheesecake from Uncle Tetsu, you’ll feel like Jigglyorp with it. These breathtaking cakes are unlike anything on earth. They’re light, airy, and jiggle like a bowl of jelly. To make the recipe, Australian cream cheese is combined with butter, eggs, sugar, milk, and flour. The finished product bears Uncle Tetsu’s smiling cartoon face as a seal of approval from the company. Buttery Madeleines and dewy Cheesetarts are two other choices on the menu. Before going on to become an international success story, the firm was founded in Fukuoka, Japan.

My favourite type of cheesecake! Airy and not too sweet but rich but light enough that a slice is enough! The chocolate is also great too, its a distinctive cocoa powder, milo sort of flavour.

Pasticceria Papa’s Baked Ricotta Cake is a taste of Southern Italy in Sydney. An Italian immigrant to Australia, Salvatore Papa, brought his family’s handmade delicacies from Italy with him.

Customer’s Review:

Absolutely awesome 11/10 big Black Forrest cake for 30ppl, reasonably priced at $117 for excellent quality. The dark chocolate spirals ontop were literally the most delicious “icing on the cake”. The cake itself was very moist and flavoursome (not like the cheap pathetic dry excuses that other establishments try to palm off as a black forrest cake).

Cupcakes on Pitt is the best option for a tiny mid-morning sweet treat. Each cake is a work of art, with unique icing and decorations. Choose from alternatives such as Mango & Coconut, Vanilla Sundae, Tiramisu, Orange Jaffa, Peanut Butter, or Cherry Ripe depending on your taste preferences. They’re also handy since they come in a variety of tastes. If you couldn’t pick just one flavor and ended up bringing many back to the workplace because you couldn’t choose just one , they’re also quite cost-effective.

Key Differentiators:

  • Distinctive frosting and decorations
  • Cost-effective
  • Wide range of flavors and styles

Customer’s Review:

Is one of the little gems of the city. It doesn’t look much but the produce is absolutely sumptuous. Great coffee, their slogan is “you taste the coffee not the milk”, which is a pet hate of so many other cafes! Pastries are light & delicate and melt in your mouth! don’t be late or you’ll miss out they seem to sell out early.

Franjipane Tart, a fluffy New York cheesecake, and crispy croissants are some of the other options.

Key Differentiators:

My favourite brownie in Sydney! Lovely chunks of chocolate and macadamia, a slightly crispy shell and a decadent soft interior.

Bought this for my baby’s first birthday and I’m very happy choosing this over a fancy looking expensive cake. Lots of good things to say about Cakes2U. Great customer service, very good price for a very yummy and moist cake, plus it was bigger than expected too! It also came with 3 helium balloons and zigzag birthday candles. Everyone was just impressed with the cake.
