Black Star Pastry

Most delicious cake I’ve ever had. Watermelon Strawberry cake is just phenomenal. My wife had it once at a office party & she had been going on and on about it ever since, yesterday I got to know why! Each layer tastes different & it is tastes best when you have it all together. The appearance makes it look delicious & it also tastes delicious. Please do try it!

Cakes are always consistent no matter which location you buy it from which is great. Service is also pretty good. We always end up gravitating toward the strawberry watermelon as we know it will always deliver. Very fresh tasting, not overly sweet and flavours compliment each other well. I feel like the individual cake portions used to be larger, however, continually shrinking 😞

• The store is hidden further inside from George Street, but also need more noticing from Pitt Street. • Service is efficient. Staffs are friendly. • There is a variety of cakes and pastry, but I guess the best seller is the strawberry watermelon cake. • Honestly, the price for a piece of cake is reasonable as it locates in this area. • Recommend to visit them early to have more choices of cakes as it seems to be sold pretty fast. I had this piece of cake takeaway. Personally, it tastes average. Definitely come back to try other pieces.

Very innovative and fresh cakes. Inside The Galleries shopping Center (street level) near Town Hall. The watermelon version is the best. Three bar stools opposite the shopfront available to drink your coffee and eat your watermelon cake. Service is very efficient. Friendly staff. Small cake slice is pricey ($9) but worth trying . Larger versions available to take away for home parties .

Went to The Cannery branch and love the vibe. Industrial warehouses turned into restos and even a small gin distillery. People come here for the strawberry and watermelon cake topped with edible flowers. It’s beautiful! Went to the The Galleries branch too which is a small shop for take out, orders and a small bar to sit at. Will definitely come back for more.

Got a Chocolate Mirage cake for my birthday. Ordered online, the pickup process is easy, when you show up they direct you to a separate cake pick up counter located directly opposite of the main store, literally right in front of it. You tell your name/order number and they check you off on a list which you then sign that you’re picking up the order. I also bought a cooler bag from them, they put a gel ice pack into the bag to keep the cake cool. They also wrap the cake box in plastic wrap after they open the box and show you the cake. I think this is great and makes transporting the cake home easier, especially if you have to travel a distance. Keeps the cake fresh. I think paying a lil extra for the cooler bag is worth it. The handle placement/design makes it so the cake is held upright, it’s shaped specifically for cake boxes. It’s a neat bag that you can reuse. I couldn’t find many reviews of the Chocolate Mirage cake but wanted to try it. I’m not a fan of dark chocolate, prefer milk chocolate but I thought that the dark chocolate mousse wasn’t bad, it only had a slight bitter taste that you get with dark chocolate. It mixed really well with the light/milk chocolate mousse that was also there. The sweetness balanced out the dark chocolate and I think makes the cake palatable to milk chocolate fans and those who don’t like dark chocolate. I don’t like caramel so the only part of the cake I really didn’t like was the base which was a salted caramel/popcorn layer. Some people might like this, I simply just separated that layer and just ate the mousse/sponge layers. The pickup/customer service was great. I didn’t collect the cake at the pick-up time I chose when I ordered. I received a text message later from the store reminding me that the cake was ready to be collected. I sent a text message back letting them know I was running late and will pick it up in 1 or 2 hours. They replied that it was no problem. Thought that was pretty nice of them, didn’t feel rushed to make it to the store. The CBD branch is on point for online orders, had no issues, they’re doing everything right. I bought the 6 serving size of the Chocolate Mirage cake… it looks small, especially for the price, the 4 serving size would be tiny I think. Think 6 would be the minimum size you want to get. For a rich chocolate cake like the Mirage it’s an okay size for a few people.
