Violet Cakes

Violet Cakes is a Paddington cake studio focused on made-to-order creations for celebrations across Brisbane. Its range covers cakes for birthdays, weddings, children’s parties and other occasions, with custom orders available for customers who have a particular design or idea in mind. Cakes are made from scratch in small batches using fresh, premium ingredients, with the work combining careful baking and decorative detail.

The offering extends beyond standard celebration cakes. Cupcakes are designed to be easy to share and can feature fillings, icing and an occasion-specific design. Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies can be personalised by shape and finish, making them suitable for baby celebrations, business favours, birthdays, engagements and thank-you gifts. For something more formal, the croquembouche is presented as a tower of filled profiteroles, available with either a chocolate finish or traditional caramel coating.

Honeycakes are another speciality, drawing on the Eastern European Medovik tradition. They combine thin layers of honey-infused cake with a creamy filling, offering a richer but lighter style of dessert. Violet Cakes also offers a Signature Tasting Box, which is a useful option for exploring flavours before settling on a cake. Custom cakes start from $130, and the site asks customers to provide details about their occasion, serving needs and design inspiration when enquiring.

The business is led by Andressa, whose interest in baking began in her grandmother’s kitchen. After initially studying Biology, she moved into professional cooking and developed her skills through experience with chefs internationally. Her approach brings together a science background, pastry technique and a strong interest in edible design. Violet Cakes suits anyone organising a considered cake or sweet spread for a birthday, wedding, children’s event, engagement, corporate favour or other milestone. Orders can be collected from Handy Street in Paddington, or delivered within Brisbane for a flat fee, with at least three days’ notice requested because each order is prepared individually.
