PiCK a CaKE

PiCK a CaKE specialises in soft Thai-style chiffon cakes, made in small batches in Brisbane and finished by hand. The cakes are designed to be light and airy rather than dense, with a gentle sweetness that lets the cream, fruit and other flavours come through. Orders are available for pickup from the Hamilton shop at 3/33 Racecourse Road, with limited quantities baked fresh for each day.

The range includes several distinctive combinations. Young Coconut & Pandan pairs pandan chiffon with young coconut layers and fresh cream, while the Chocolate Cake combines chocolate chiffon, chocolate fudge layers, chocolate fresh cream and cocoa. Coffee Salted Caramel Macadamia adds coffee-flavoured cream, salted caramel, macadamia and coffee buttercream. Other options include Thai Milk Tea, Taro, Black Forest, Earl Grey and Lemon, Strawberry Shortcake, and Young Coconut and Mango.

PiCK a CaKE was created around quiet celebrations and everyday milestones: birthdays at home, slow coffee dates, anniversaries, nights in and simple treats shared just because. The website’s ordering process is centred on choosing a signature cake or custom design, selecting a date and collecting it from the shop. That makes it suited to anyone planning a small celebration, as well as larger occasions such as weddings, proposals and baby showers. Custom cakes can be tailored by flavour, size and styling, from minimal designs to more decorative details; the bakery recommends allowing at least three to five days for custom work and more time for weddings or larger events.

For Hamilton locals, this is a focused cake pickup option rather than a broad bakery menu. The cakes are made to order in limited quantities, so booking ahead is recommended for weekends. PiCK a CaKE has a 4.8 Google rating from 189 reviews, and offers both signature cakes and custom orders for celebrations that call for a soft, carefully finished centrepiece.
