The CakeMan
Last updated$
The CakeMan is a small cake shop and bakery on Burns Bay Road in Lane Cove, built around a long glass display of whole cakes, slices, pies and pastries made on site. It is a quick stop for a treat or a celebration cake rather than a place to linger, and Cox's Lane Playground is a 3-minute walk away.
About The CakeMan
Food at The CakeMan
Cakes are the draw: a full counter of round cakes, tarts, slices and novelty designs, with festive cakes decorated in strawberry snowmen on show. Reviewers name the strawberry sponge, hazelnut and red velvet, and one mentions gelatine-free cakes. Savoury options include quiches, sausage rolls and meat pies, and reviewers say the pies are good. Honey cookies and cake pops sit alongside. Cakes can be ordered whole for gatherings; one reviewer paid about $30 a kilo.
