Birthday cakes and cupcakes on the Central Coast
Once your child has picked a birthday theme, the cake is usually part of the plan. I’m always looking for a cake for my daughter that’s as lovely as the one she pictures in her head. If you’ve been saving cake photos on your phone too, this guide is for you.
I’ll be gathering local cake makers by town, with a little about the cakes they make, so you can find someone to bring your child’s idea to life.
My friend’s pick is in Gosford, and mine is in Umina Beach. I’ll add more local recommendations as the guide grows.
Birthday cakes in Gosford
Cakes By Kyla
♥ My friend’s pickMy friend goes to Cakes By Kyla for her children’s birthday cakes, and they always look fabulous. The latest was this Scooby-Doo cake. I got to try it too, and loved it — it tasted as good as it looked.
Birthday cakes and cupcakes in Umina Beach
Gettin’ Baked by Kimberley Batty-Barbara
♥ My pickWe went with cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday in 2025. I needed Spider-Man and Avengers-themed cupcakes at the last minute, and Kimberley was so accommodating. She made these caramel ones for us, and they were a hit. I’ve never seen cupcakes disappear so quickly.
Personalised cookies on the Central Coast
A cookie in the party colours makes a lovely little treat to take home. These makers offer cookies for special occasions, from fondant sugar cookies to seasonal gift sets.
These names came from a Central Coast community Facebook discussion. The number shows how many locals named each maker, and I didn’t count anyone recommending their own business.
For a custom order, send your date, quantity and a picture of the design you have in mind. Check availability first, then ask for a quote and arrange pickup, delivery or postage.
