A cupcake bakery that also offers a couple egg-free and dairy-free varieties each day as well soymilk option for coffee and shakes. Takes custom vegan cake orders. Open Mon-Fri 8:00am-2:00pm, Sat 8:00am-12:00pm.
This place is now open by appointment for pre-orders only. I’d tried a vegan cupcake a few years ago when it was open as a store and it was pretty dry and disappointing. They’ve really stepped up their game though as I’ve recently had cupcakes that they catered for a morning tea and they were some of the best I’ve had. From memory, there were at least 10 vegan flavours to choose from and everything I tried had beautiful flavour and moist, balanced texture.
The first time I went the vegan cakes were sold out- a Saturday afternoon. When I went back they had a little tray of vegan cakes in the back. The texture was good and it looked really good. I found the cake and icing clashed but separately they tasted good.
Updated from previous review on Wednesday November 20, 2013:
Having returned in August 2014 I was disappointed. Cake was dry, icing was tasteless. Maybe they do go stale, maybe it was a bad batch but the quality has gone down hill. It wasn't a bad cake but not good enough for me to want to go back.
Given that the vegan cupcakes are $4.75 and this is a proper bakery with interesting ideas, I expected a lot more.
I had a chocolate orange cupcakes- the sponge was really dry and the icing had that taste you get when you use flavouring that is out of date, giving it more of a chemical flavour.
I assumed my partner would be more pleased with his but sadly not. He had some sort of chocolate raspberry coconut one with a shop bought biscuit on top. Again his sponge was very dry, but the icing was alright. The best bit was the biscuit....
Considering this place has awards and serious amounts of cake-making experience, I was really disappointed.
