iCake

iCake sits on Bouverie Street in Carlton, a characterful inner-city Melbourne suburb near the university. A much-loved cake shop and bakery, it's earned a strong reputation — combining beautifully made cakes and sweet treats with quality baking, the kind of craft-focused spot that's become a genuine favourite for a dessert, a treat or a celebration cake.

The appeal is that combination of beautifully made cakes and sweet treats and a convenient Carlton location, perfect for a sweet treat, a coffee-and-cake stop or a cake for a birthday or occasion. A spot that takes real care with its cakes really stands out, and iCake has clearly won over a loyal following, especially among the nearby student community.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 200 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The cake range, any custom or celebration-cake orders, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular spot can sell out of favourites, so it's worth checking current details and ordering ahead before a special trip — particularly if you need a cake for an occasion or have your heart set on something specific at iCake in Carlton.
