Deck the Halls with Cakes By Judy C
‘Tis the month of indulgence upon us. December marks a month where it is not only socially acceptable to feast upon Christmas themed sweets, but encouraged. Nay, a requirement!
Of course, not everyone has the time to make tri-layered cakes and gooey slices. We lead busy lives! But there is a special place in Ashgrove that, though lacking in elves and reindeer, that will put the merry in Merry Christmas. Meet Cakes by Judy C, a sweet lil’ workshop on Waterworks Road that has everything your sweet tooth desires.
Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice
Cake is everything good in life, and everybody deserves a sweet treat. Local food icon Jocelyn Hancock must think similarly, as Cake & Bake, in West End, specialises in delectable indulgences that will have your toes curling. Celebrating one year, do we need another reason to eat cake? No...

Our Top 10 Picks!
Cupcakes are like regular cakes, except better because they don’t require cutlery and you can usually fit an entire one into your mouth on the first try. And unlike their unfortunate cousin, muffins, they don’t skip on the icing or try to trick you with questionable savory flavours. Cupcakes are basically the bomb, and since nothing says, “I love you, me,” more than treating yourself to this delicious treat, we’ve scoured Southeast Queensland for the best of the best. Enjoy!
