Brisbane's Best Cake Shops

Updated: Jan 30, 2026

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 massive cake store just outside of Brisbane with everything you need for baking:

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
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
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. If 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
Inside this gourmet food emporium is a cake and patisserie section where you can pick up some of the best cakes in this part of town, including whole cakes such as Lemon Yoghurt, Flourless Chocolate, Rosewater & Pistachio, Orange Valencia with Raspberry Buttercream and Carrot Cake as well as exquisite cupcakes
