A life without Cake. Difficult to imagine, isn’t it?
But it doesn’t have to be this way, for when it comes to Cake delivery, Melbourne has plenty of options.
The city is home to some of the finest Cake shops in the country, and if you are willing to embrace the magic of Cake, Dessert and Cupcake delivery, you can arrange for exceptional Cakes to appear at your door, 7 days a week.
One should never really need an excuse for Cake and sweet treats, but sometimes its easier to justify when you can organise your craving around a birthday, dinner party or afternoon tea.
The midnight Cupcake treat, morning pick-me-up Chocolate Eclair and mid-afternoon Croissant are more solo affairs, like the best guilty secrets.
Whatever your rationale, we’ve got you covered for Cake stores, Cake delivery and Dessert takeaway services in Melbourne. Read on to discover Cake shops and sweet delights that you never knew existed, but now must be tested and tasted!
Brunetti Oro
Three Locations: 250 Flinders Lane, Melbourne 3000; 48-54 Weston Street, Brunswick 3056; Level 3, Myer Melbourne Bourke St, 3000 / Tel: (03) 9069 3169
Cakes can be ordered online or instore at Flinders Lane or at Myer Melbourne.
Brunetti cafes and restaurants have been a Melbourne institution for many decades. Known for excellent coffee, authentic gelato and spectacular cakes transported in their familiar red takeaway boxes, the Brunetti family split their hospitality chain in 2021 into Brunetti Oro and Brunetti Classico.
For a full and detailed review of Brunetti, see here.
Brunetti Oro continues on the cake tradition from their much-loved cafe in Flinders Lane. There’s a fantastic range to choose from that will satisfy both young and old, both conservative and bold. Many are traditional cake recipes, refined over the years, and now brightened with the addition of a modern twist.
Check out the Hazelnut Millefoglie, the passion fruit and lemon tarts with creme fraiche, and the appel strudel for a winter pep-up.
The Mixed Berry Charlotte is our preferred choice for a birthday cake. And, pleasingly, there are many gluten-free options for special occasion celebrations too.
Brunetti Or’s new online store makes ordering sweet treats remarkably easy. It’s as simple as choosing your special celebration cake with a quick and simple check out and it will be delivered directly to you.
The cakes are made in true Italian tradition with high-quality ingredients, attention to detail and fine craftsmanship.
Our top tip? Although the online ordering system is incredibly user friendly, we recommend nipping into one of the Brunetti Classico cafes and sampling a few of their creations before you buy!
Cheri
Location: 285-287 Coventry St, South Melbourne, VIC 3205 Ph: (03) 9690 2688
When the Darling Group announce that they are opening a Bakery/Cake Shop, we get excited. As the people behind such iconic Melbourne dining spots as Higher Ground, Kettle Black & Top Paddock, you just know that is these folks are setting up a cake delivery service in Melbourne, it’ll be worth subscribing to.
Pleasingly, this is a multi-function establishment. Firstly, the team here run a cafe with a great All Day Dining Menu. And we can tell you that from the fabulously authentic Croque Madame – Smoked Leg Ham, Gruyere Bechamel & Fried Egg, plus French Fries – to the selection of Pizzas, all are excellent.
Need a Sugar Thermometer for your next baking adventure? Or perhaps you want an Olive Oil Sprayer to make cooking less messy? Well, whatever you need, we’re here to help. Click this link for an extensive selection of useful Kitchen Tools & Gadgets
But at this point, we’re all about the Bakery & Patisserie. And if you’re stopped by for one of the kitchen’s amazing Cruffins stuffed with Lemon Curd, with an Italian Mreingue Berry Compote and Mascarpone Cream, you’ll understand why.
Let us just walk you through a few of the team’s full-sized Cakes.
The Cheri Signature Cake is their Eye Candy. This is a striking, red velvet textured set of luscious lips. Cut into it and you’ll find Pistachio Sponge, Raspberry Compote and a fragrant Lychee Mousse, all covered in a White Chocolate Shell and sat on a Vanilla Sable Biscuit. Amazing. However, we are total suckers for the Cafe Dulce. This is a dreamy marriage of texture and flavour with Chocolate Biscuit, Salted Caramel, Espresso and a Pecan Praline Crunch coming together perfectly.
And in case you were wondering. Yes. The crew also offer catering. Personally, if turned up for an event and was served on of Cheri’s Iced Vovo Pain Suisse, I’d be ecstatic.
Laurent Bakery
Location: Multiple locations across Melbourne
When it comes to cake delivery Melbourne has a not-so-secret weapon when compared to other Australian cities: Laurent Bakery.
Since opening his first bakery in 1993, Laurent Boillon has seen his cake shops and dessert empire spread across the city.
Laurent Bakery promises pastries, pastisserie and breads that are ‘French inspired’ and it’s clearly a formula that appeals to foodie Melburnians.
This much-loved, afternoon tea institution offers a full catering menu, for those planning a high tea at home. Popular sweet treats include their Macarons, Chocolate Eclair, Lemon Meringue and – my personal weakness – Seasonal Mixed Fruit Tarts.
If you don’t have much of a sweet tooth – what’s wrong with you?! – Laurent Bakery also prepare plenty of savoury options. From a range of Quiches, through to Mini Croissants and onto filled Rolls, this is a one-stop-shop for all your party food needs.
And let’s not forget their stunning cakes.
Exquisite creations like their fabulous Mietta (see above). This knock-out cake combines chocolate sponge, cream rich with Bailey’s Irish Cream, lush mocha mousse, and the textural wonder of crunchy hazelnut praline. This really is a special occasion cake.
And Laurent Bakery really is a special cake shop.
Update: The first Croissant Bar by Laurent has opened in the Chadstone Shopping Centre selling – you’ve guessed it – croissants. A dozen types of sweet and savoury croissants, to be exact.
If you love to bake at home, you’ll adore this impressive 200 Piece Cake Decorating Supplies Kit for Beginners. It has everything you need to turn out stunning creations, from piping tips to spatulas and a cake leveler.

Louisa Morris Cakes
Location: Foord St, Wahgunyah, VIC, Australia, Victoria / Tel: 0402 722 925 / Order online
Located 3 hours north of Melbourne in Wahgunyah, resides the multi-award winning artisinal cake maker, Louisa Morris.
Established in 1997, Louisa Morris Cakes is famous for producing wonderful cakes, puddings, pickles and preserves. And whilst a quick drive to pick up a cupcake or two might be out of the question for most of us, there is a convenient online store that will deliver all over Victoria.
Owner-operator, Louisa Morris, is a qualified chef and baker. She has made many fantastic special-event cakes (wedding, christening, birthday and anniversary) for families in the north east of Victoria and beyond for more than two decades.
Louisa has won many awards over the journey, including Champion Preserve at the Hobart fine food awards in 2013, Gold at the Melbourne Fine Food Awards in 2014 and silver at the 2019 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show.
The business sources local ingredients and produce from only the best farms within the Hume Murray Food Bowl of Victoria.
Louisa’s cakes, christmas puddings, jams, curds, caramels, preserves, fruit cakes, macarons and wedding cakes are all handmade made in small batches using French-inspired techniques, chef secrets and family recipes.
And the Christmas puddings, panaforte and mince tarts are spectacular.
Aside from the online store, Louisa’s output can be found in a number of Farmers Markets in Victoria’s north-east (eg. Albury Wodonga Farmers Market and Wangaratta Farmers Market).
There’s always a great range of gluten free treats for those with dietary restrictions – we’ve seen the following range of gluten and dairy-free options: Boston buns, panaforte, donuts, cinnamon scrolls, brownies, carrot cakes, bee stings, salted caramel brownies, brioche Nutella doughnuts, hazelnut brioche scrolls, white chocolate raspberry and macadamia blondies. (Note: the gluten-free brownies have won awards).
Levain Doughnuts
Location: 100 Nepean Hwy, Mentone, VIC 3194 Ph: (03) 9583 4250
Fancy a couple of boxes of hand-crafted, artisanal doughnuts dropped at your door? Well, luckily for you, we know just the people to call – Levain Doughnuts. And even better, their takes on the fried dough ball hit a whole other level of indulgence.
Levain set themselves the goal of creating the perfect doughnut and once they’d mastered that, they gain sending their stunning creations out into the world.
We’re talking light, airy, puff of fresh dough, stuffed to exploding and slathered in rich, gooey toppings. At present, the collection includes delights such as the Black Forest with a Cheery Compote centre and coating of Chocolate Ganache & Oreo Cookie crumbs. Then there’s the luscious Vanilla Slice, oozing with Vanilla Pastry Cream Filling and decorated with White Chocolate and Ganache lines.
Before they launched Levain Doughnuts, the founders started Jamm’d Dessert Bar – so these folks know a thing or 2 about catering. And cake delivery Melbourne-wide.
For a full and detailed review of Levain Doughnuts, see here
With Levain, you have a number of options when it comes to getting your pastries. These include next day delivery or in-store pick up, as well as Uber Eats.
Could this be the cake delivery Melbourne has been waiting for? We reckon it’s right up there.

Linger Cafe
Location: 101 Bowen St, Camberwell, VIC 3124 / Tel: 0427 800 018
Linger Cafe is a well-kept local secret in Camberwell.
On leafy Bowen Street, inside an old church building, is the Linger Patisserie Cafe.
The cafe itself does breakfast, lunch and everything in between. The Chilli Scrambled Eggs are a personal favourite and the Tijuana Bennedict is a fun spin on a classic with pulled pork and chipotle hollandaise. There’s an Asian influence that adds interest to the menu. The Gangnam Style Burger complete with kimchi is a sure-fire winner.
But enough of all that. It’s the patisserie part of the business that we’re supposed to be covering in this piece.
The team at Linger Cafe specialise in Asian-accented baked fancies. The chilled cabinet in the cafe quickly sells out of their much-loved Watermelon Cake and their incredibly cute Animal Set. These pure white Rabbit cakes are beyond adorable – so lovely, in fact, that I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to eat one!
For a full review of Linger Cafe, please see here.
For larger bakes such as their stunning Like The Rose and Flower Love Buttercream cakes, take a look at their website. Cakes can be ordered online as long as you give Linger Cafe two days notice. And at present, it’s pick up only.
Mister Nice Guy’s Bakeshop
Location: 151 Union Rd, Ascot Vale, VIC 3032 Ph: 0404 191 130
The next of our cake delivery spots in Melbourne is a must-try for all vegetarians and vegans as it specialises in 100% plant-based treats. You read that correctly. Everything from their decadent Bronut (Brioche Doughnut) to their Cocoa-rich Brownie to their luscious Black Forest Cheesecake is suitable for who choose to avoid animal products.
Get professional results in the kitchen with this Cake Decorating Supplies Kit for Beginners. With smoothers and scrapers for the perfect cake finish, it even comes with an ebook full of handy hints.
What else do the talented folk at Mister Nice Guy’s have in their ovens? Well, if you’re looking for a birthday cake or something sweet to celebrate an important occasion, check out their website. The selection on offer is quite mind-boggling. That said, we reckon any party has to be a success if you order the Popcorn Mudslide Cake. This beauty features a Chocolate Cake base covered in Salted Caramel Frosting, decorated with Caramel Popcorn and a Dulce & Chocolate Ganache.
As if this isn’t enough, the bakers also knock out a range of Cupcakes and find the time to construct various Hot Deli Sandwiches for lunch.
If you find yourself around Ascot Vale, be sure to pop by Mister Nice Guy’s Bakeshop.
KOI Dessert Bar Melbourne
Location: 100 Queen St, Melbourne, VIC 3000 Ph: (03) 9191 2031
After plenty of rumours, Masterchef alumni Reynold Poernomo and his family have finally opened an outpost of their hugely successful Sydney enterprise in Melbourne. So, is it worth the wait? You bet!
To describe Koi Dessert Bar creations are edible works of art is no exaggeration.
The Milky Way Celebration Cake ($78-178) is a gorgeous combination of Passionfruit, Vanilla, Mango, Coconut and Almond, perfectly balanced across a spectrum of textures. And it materialises enveloped in a gloriously glossy blue mirror glaze.
Unless you’re been living in a cave, you’ll know that the Basque Cheesecake is having a major moment. With this in mind, the team at KOI produce 3 different versions of the Spanish classic. Our favourite is the beautiful Basque Cheesecake – Matcha Rose ($42-138). Here, a rich Baked Vanilla Cheesecake is topped with a lush Japanese Matcha Mascarpone infused with Rose.
Finally, if you’re searching for something special for either a birthday or even Christmas, Koi Dessert Bar Melbourne have you covered. Have a look at their website for full descriptions, prices and details on how to order.
Tarts Anon
Location: 29a Gwynne St, Melbourne, VIC 3121 & now also at 44 Sackville St, Collingwood, VIC 3066
If you want a birthday cake, then this isn’t the bakery for you. But if you crave a Michelin Star quality tart – in a variety of incarnations – get yourself to Tarts Anon.
Looking for that perfect gift for the person who seems to have everything? See if our Gift Guide can inspire you.
This smart little business in increasingly hip Cremorne has a fashionably minimal, but warm, shop at the front and a bustling kitchen out the back. And it is out the back that the pastry magic happens.
From their totally addictive Signature Pear Tart with its marzipan fragrance to the silky custard smoothness of its Berry & Lemon Cheesecake Tart, everything if sublime.
We’ve tried a few of Tarts Anon fabulous creations and all of them feature perfectly balanced fillings held in biscuit-crisp, delicious pastry.
For a full review of Tarts Anon, click here.
On our last trip, we loved the rich crunch and cocoa depth of the Chocolate Orange & Whiskied Pecan Tart. In contrast, the Christmas Special – Eggnog & Fruit Mince – had a satiny eggnog-flavoured custard on a thin layer of luscious fruit mince jam. Yum!
For those who want to take away dessert, you can order in advance on the Tarts Anon website and pick up from the shop.
We thoroughly recommend that you do!
Nikos Cakes
Location: 25 Portman St, Oakleigh, VIC 3166 Ph: (03) 9569 6338 & 254-262 Wingrove St, Fairfield, VIC 3078 Ph: (03) 9482 159
Although many an Oakleigh resident frequents Nikos Cakes for their Greek Sweets, this isn’t the only thing on offer.
Follow the sugar-scented air into either of Nikos outlets and you’ll find both a busy cafe and utterly tempting array of cakes and confectionery creations. Whilst Birthday Cakes and Wedding Cakes have been a speciality for years, the team of skilled bakers know how to adapt to current trends. A case in point is the wide selection of both Baby Shower cakes and Gender Reveal cakes.
Of course, Nikos Cakes do some truly amazing Novelty Cakes as well. We love the Classic Porsche and the Gin and Tonic designs on their website.
Finally, if you can’t make it to either Oakleigh or Fairfield, don’t fret. They can get your show-stopper to you, upon request. Why else would we have Nikos Cakes on our cake delivery Melbourne guide.
Tokyo Lamington
Location: 258 Elgin St, Carlton, VIC 3053 Ph: 0402 392 258
What began as plans for a lamington-focused bakery in Tokyo was relocated to Newtown in Sydney when Covid lockdowns hit. Having taken Sydney by storm, Melbourne foodies got their own taste of square-cake magic when Tokyo Lamington opened in Carlton in 2022.
Freshly baked each day and often completed to order, these are the ‘lammes’ you wish your mother made.
For a full and detailed review of Tokyo Lamington, see here.
The OG Lamington has the lightest of Sponges, sandwiched with vibrant Raspberry Jam and Vanilla Cream. This is then dunked in a lush Chocolate Sauce and tossed through Roasted Coconut. So simple – so fabulous.
The Yuzu Meringue Lamington features that same airy Sponge, only this time filled with a zesty Yuzu Curd and Vanilla Cream. This delight is then smothered in Toasted Meringue. But that’s not all. The retro vibes continue with the kitchen’s take on the childhood summer favourite, the Golden Gaytime. Here, a Caramel Sponge is spliced with Caramel Cream and Vanilla Cream, then dipped in Dark Chocolate. Finally, it’s rolled in Biscuit Crumbs.
Honestly, can you think of a better way to take a tasty step back in time?
And yes. These guys do cake delivery in Melbourne. Hooray!
For our take on some of the finest Japanese Restaurants in Melbourne, see here.
LeTAO
Location: 238 Swanston St, Melbourne, VIC 3000 Ph: 0404 761 888
LeTAO make Cheesecakes. But not just any old Cheesecakes.
Take their Signature LeTAO Fromage Double Cheesecake, for example. This ethereal, satin-textured wonder is a mix of magical Hokkaido Cream, Italian Mascarpone and Australian Cream Cheese. One bite, and you’ll know why people queue up for it.
But this isn’t LeTAO’s only offering. The kitchen also make a Chocolat Double Cheesecake that we would quite happily crawl through broken glass for. Then there’s their silk Portuguese Tarts…
For a full and detailed review of LeTAO, click here.
What’s more, this is authentic Japanese confectionary. In fact, everything is prepared and baked in Japan and then flown – deep frozen – to Australia. As such, it makes sense that LeTAO are masters of online ordering and cake delivery. Alternatively, you can pop in your request and pick up your baked treat yourself.
Either way, if you love a cloud-light, creamy Cheesecake, LeTAO is the place to call.
Le Yeahllow
Location: 366 Little Collins St, Melbourne, VIC 3000 Ph: (03) 9600 1129 See Website For Further Locations
The skilled bakers at Le Yeahllow reference the whimsical nature of their creations and the joy that they hope their cakes will bring. Well, let me assure you that a trip to one of the stores makes us very happy indeed.
Specialising, once again, in Asian inspired flavours, the patisserie at Le Yeahllow is both beautiful to behold and delicious to eat. And the kitchen regularly comes up with new bakes to tempt even the most jaded of palates. Currently, there is a Yayoi Kusama-esque delight available – The Yeahllow Pumpkin ($95). Visually evoking the black-spotted, yellow pumpkins of Kusama’s iconic art, the cake marries Saffron, Passionfruit, Pumpkin & Black Sesame.
That said, we have a big soft-spot for their Pistachio Creme Cake ($79). In our humble opinion, whoever thought that Pistachio, Raspberry and Salted Caramel were a good idea deserves a medal!
If you think that the confectionery of Le Yeahllow is just what you need in your life, the have a number of options. You can pop into one of their stores and pick your treats on the spot. Alternatively, you can make your decision and order online to collect. Finally, you can peruse the selection and arrange to have your sweet-tooth’s fix delivered.
Check out the Le Yeahllow website and you’ll see why we rate it for cake delivery in Melbourne.
