Hi ladies anyone got a good cake place to buy a first birthday cake from? Or anyone that has a home business?

I would prefer somewhere in the north but as far as the CDB is fine also

Thanks in advance :)

Go onto facebok & look up Cocos cakes. She did my DD christening/1st birthday cake(there's a picture of it in her photo album). Her cakes are beautiful & very, very yummy. She works from home & is in northern suburbs.

The best place for cakes is The Delicious Biscuit but she is located at Fulham Gardens so it might be a bit far.

I have been to a few parties which have had cakes from Alfresco2 at campbelltown. They have been delicious.


If you want something different then you should get a gelati cake from gelatissimo. There are 2 stores in the city, one on rundle st and the other on gouger st. They are to die for! My sister got one that was hazelnut and it had a layer of cake at the bottom. She said they also do a tiramisu one where it's a layer of cake, then a layer of coffee gelati, then a layer of cake and a layer of coffe gelati.

I should give you the original photo of ds's lolly cake that we worked off, it was originally a girls cake. You could get it done smaller, mine was ridiculously big, but the kids loved the lollies:yes:

Thx gizmo I'll give it a look :) fulham gdns isn't toooooo far I could get a friend to pick it up! The gelati sounds awesome but I might leave that for my birthday ;)

MBL that would be awesome! That cake was amazing! Ridiculously big like ella's christening cake :rolleyes: we told her for 50 and I swear it could have fed 250 it's was bloody bigger than my wedding cake but fabulous all the same :D if you ever need a cake in Melbourne MBL look her up at splendid servings! She does all custom desingns and for what you get it's worth the $$ ella's cake was $230 and seriously MASSIVE it took three people to lift it out of the car!

Yeah but I thought the same but butterflies on top instead of Lollypops

:yelclap:Yay, it's so nice!! Butterflies would be nice, you could even not have the bottom layer and just the top 2 and heaps of colourful decorations. Thats what I loved about the cake, just all the colours.

Ps I'm a tad extravagant I think I need the bottom layer too :laughing: just smaller

Lol the lollypop cake MBL kindly sent me I got a quote for $600-$700 I actually :laughing: at the woman on the phone! The quote from the lady you recommended was $220 BI but I think I'm gonna go at it alone I was willing to pay that much but I think I can do it! Let's just hope it doesn't flop... Litterally :laughing: thanks for your recommendations though I'll keep them all in mind when I don't have time to do one myself wish me luck :fingerscrossed:
