NEW Additions to Cakes by JudyC

2011 marks an exciting new era for Cakes by JudyC with the introduction of coffee and café seating to the Ashgrove store. Up until now, the store has been primarily a display centre for celebration cakes and small shop front selling daily baked treats.

Cakes by JudyC now serve Wolff Coffee daily and have café seating for approximately 15. The Celebration and Bridal cake displays remain unchanged as they are large part of the business. There is now however, a lovely place to sit, relax and browse through our cake look-books, bridal magazines or have a consultation with the cake design team.

Along with fresh coffee prepared by experienced barista Dion Shaw, there will be Judy’s usual array of biscuits, muffins, cakes, cupcakes, macaroons, whoopie pies as well as the ever-changing daily offering.

As always, our products are baked fresh on the premises daily by a small team of qualified pastry chefs and quality decorators.
