Looking for a completely unique showstopper of a cake for your next big birthday bash or after something elegant and refined for those upcoming nuptials?

It seems there’s certainly no shortage of unbelievable drool worthy cake creators and patisseries all over our city ready to hook you up with the dessert of your wildest dreams, so we’ve put together some of our ultimate faves to help you find that perfect slice.

Here are 15 of the best cake stores around Perth.

Teeter Bakery

Perth

Talented baker Natasha Brownfield has been quietly cranking out some of Perth's finest pastries from kitchens and pop-up spots across Perth, and now she finally has a teeny corner sunlit spot of her own open every Friday and Saturday to enjoy endless flakey baked treats, stunning little tarts and freshly made sandwich combos to die for. Better still, you can pre-order gorgeous whole cakes directly via their site every Wednesday to Sunday that’ll suit any celebration (or major cake craving) big or small.

Perth Cake Collective

Nedlands

One sleepless night we stumbled across the joyous towering sugar highs of Perth Cake Collective on socials, and have been obsessed ever since. Baking queen Ash turned her passion for baking into a career in 2017, bringing a whole lot of vivacity, colour and cheekiness to each cake that has since earned her a reputation as one of the very coolest and most sought-after players in the Perth cake, cupcake and cookie game.

Crumbs Patisserie

Applecross

This sweet little patisserie just off the Ardross Street pumps out sensational treats every morning for you to delight in. Each individual cake is its own complete art form with immaculate attention to detail and stunning flavours that can’t be beaten. From their decadent Passionfruit Tarts, to their PBJ Cubes, light fluffy macarons and their range of special occasion cakes (their lemon meringue cake with oozy homemade lemon curd is next level) these wildly ‘grammable delights are almost too beautiful to eat.

Hello Sukar

Booragoon

Owner and magic maker Claire Sutherland is another lady startup success story who’s built her cake and dessert studio largely through word of mouth - and boy do we want as many of her magnificent cakes in our mouths as possible. We can’t get enough of Hello Sukar's bright eye-catching heart fun cakes where you can personalise your message and add your own flair.

Last Crumb Cake Co

Bassendean

Raspberry gin or tiramisu meringue cakes? Stop it. Even just a quick scroll through Last Crumb Cake Co’s socials will have you hooked on their endless slew of elaborately bright piped cakes of all shapes and sizes filled with flavours that push the boundaries and taste magical. Tucked into a charming old deli, this Bassendean bakery has people swarming from all over Perth and for good reason. 

Last Crumb Cake Co

Glory Box

North Perth

This Charles Street institution has become synonymous with unbeatable cakes and desserts for decades pumping out an extensive range of beautiful designs to suit any occasion whether intimate or massive. Glory Box has also become famous for their crispy gooey Portugese Tarts topping just about every list we’ve ever seen around this city, so a trip just for one (or three) of them alone makes it worth a visit. 

Bittersweet Bake

Mosman Park

Mossie Park's Bittersweet Bake has to be hands down one of the best bake shops in town. Walking in, you'll be overwhelmed by the glass cabinet filled with beautiful sweet treats and lunchtime eats, and their huge range of divine flower-topped cakes made especially to order for all your big occasions. You’ll be amazed at just how many insanely delish creations they bust out of that tiny little space.

Sherbert Cafe And Bakeshop

Maylands

An absolute go-to for inner city faithful, Sherbert Cafe and Bakeshop tucked into a rustic old corner store on Whatley Crescent has become famous for their perfectly iced cupcakes and their massive legendary cakes made fresh and delicious every damn day. For us, we can’t go past their whole blackberry coconut and lemon syrup cake that oozes zesty goodness and leaves you reaching for yet another slice. This brilliant team can also whip up a tonne of gluten and dairy free creations, so that everyone can literally have their cake and eat it too.

Bake You Smile

Applecross

Firstly, we love a pun so Bake You Smile immediately grabbed our attention before their adorable chic designs completely knocked us out. Our fave part of this company is that each individual product allows you to open up your imagination and share exactly what you envisage for the cake making it a completely personalised experience from start to finish, with an end product too divine to even cut into.

Butter Crumbs

Mount Lawley

Oh Butter Crumbs, we love you so. Since closing their Inglewood shop with a promise of bigger and better things to come, these cake connoisseurs have returned with their chic new Beaufort Street digs bigger and more scrumptious than ever.  At the new shop they're doing more of those classic sweets—think: basque cheesecake, banoffee pie and strawberry shortcake and stacks of other heavenly seasonal flavours to order depending on your palette. We can guarantee you’ll be scraping your plate and sneaking in an extra piece when no one’s looking. 

Corica Patisserie

Northbridge

Ask any Perth local where the best Apple Strudel in Perth is, and they’ll send you directly to the source. Corica Patisserie cranks out the lightest, most delicate and downright delicious strudels they’ve become adored for, but also bake quite an extensive range of made to order tortes, celebration cakes and St. Honore profiterole towers that will dazzle even the fussiest of food snobs at very reasonable prices that won’t break the bank.

Dolce And Salato

Fremantle, North Perth, Cockburn, South Perth And Bull Creek

Dolce and Salato had humble beginnings when in 1999 two dedicated pasticceri came together to bring Perth some of the finest traditional Italian delights all over town which are still being enjoyed almost 25 years later. With a range of tasty tortes, cheesecakes, strudels and cannoli available in their fridges daily, this palace is great for a last minute pick up that’ll make you the ultimate guest.
