Bakeology Studios · Burwood East, Melbourne

Custom birthday cakes for every age, every style

Birthdays deserve something special. At Bakeology Studios, we create handcrafted birthday cakes for children, adults, and everyone in between, from whimsical kids' designs to elegant vintage tiers for milestone celebrations.
Founded by Sithumi in Melbourne's east, our studio is built on a love of quiet craft and joyful detail. Each cake is made to order, thoughtfully designed, and created to feel like yours and not anyone else's.

Two Ways to Order

Order online, or go fully bespoke

Not sure which is right for you? Here's how to think about it.
Our online shop offers a curated range of pre-designed birthday cakes, each one named, photographed, and available to order directly with at least 3 days notice. Sizes, flavours, and some customisation options are available at checkout.
Our custom enquiry path is for when you have a specific vision, a theme, a colour palette, a feeling you want the cake to capture. We'll chat through the details, provide a quote, and bring your idea to life from scratch.
Either way, every cake leaves our studio made by hand, with care.
