Gateau House

Three words: kumara cream cake!
I know it may sound weird but it is honestly one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever tried. I bought it because it was the special of the month, which made it $ 19 instead of $ 24, I believe, so a decent deal for a cake which can be theoretically split between 6 – 8 people (or 3 – 4, if you’re greedy and hungry for cake like me, hehe).
I’ve tried other cakes from the Gâteau House before: the opera cake was super rich and chocolatey (and also gluten free, if you’re after that), while the chocolate mousse cake was only so-​so (too sweet imo). But neither compare to the kumara cake consisting of soft and fluffy (but not dry) sponge and golden kumara cream. I also tasted floral honey notes quite strongly, which complemented the kumara flavour really really well. Highly recommend it if you’re after something unique yet simple!
The service was okay, but it’s not that big of a deal if you’re getting a cake to take away.
Can’t wait to try their other cakes such as cookies and cream cheese one or the classic chocolate mud cake.

For my special dinner party I will be going with the Tiramisu torte, presented with flair and boxed for the occasion by Gâteau House in Newmarket. I went for the standard $ 48 version however if you are catering for larger numbers they have an XXX large version for $ 160. Regarding pricing, you will always have to check in store as the take-​home brochure says prices subject to change without notice.
You are able to order a cup of coffee and a slice of decadence (under five dollars) from here at any time. They really do have delicious ranges of cakes and sweet treats on offer and as with my Tiramisu torte, presentation is outstanding!
Some of my other favourite choices for take-​home cakes: the heart-​shaped strawberry mousse gâteau, definitely the chocolate mud gâteau. For the man in my life I would order a black forest gâteau, baked cheesecake looks divine.
Some of the cakes err on the side of healthy, like blueberry yoghurt gâteau.
They can also do your wedding cakes and have a nice selection in this brochure I’m browsing through.

On a recent trip to the cinema, my partner and I had some time to kill before our showing started so we decided to go and buy some chocolate to take in with us. When we were about halfway down Broadway, we stumbled across this place and decided to pie off the M&M’s in favour of a big slice of cake each. I’m so glad we did.
Gâteau House have got a fantastic selection of gorgeous creamy cakes and gateaux for a really good price. Tiramisu and other slices are $ 4.80 each and larger slices of the most decadent products (chocolate mud and my choice of black forest) are $ 6.20, and they’re worth every penny!
It’s definitely not a place you’d frequent every day, but for a quick delicious treat, it’s great. It’s really tiny and there are only about four tables inside and it feels a bit clinical, as it’s all white. All of this makes the atmosphere a bit cold and dull; but when the cake is this good, all of that can be overlooked.
