Why it's worth checking out
Miilk Cake Studio is a Melbourne CBD bakery and custom cake shop at 166 Swanston Street, with an Asian-inspired range shaped by Singaporean family recipes. The business traces its baking heritage to Tong Ann Bakery, a family-owned bakery established in Bukit Timah, Singapore, in 1950. Today, its pastry chefs combine those longstanding recipes with contemporary techniques, creating cakes and drinks influenced by flavours from across Asia.
The offering covers ready-to-go cakes, custom cakes, cupcakes, dessert boxes and catering. Ready-to-go cakes are available in several sizes, from portions for two to larger cakes serving around 12–15 people, and the studio can customise the size or appearance of a cake on request. The Made For You range is suited to birthdays, celebrations and other occasions where a more personal design is needed. Corporate orders are also available for meetings, team milestones and client events, while delivery is offered for customers who would rather order from home.
The cake range includes options such as Coconut Pandan Cake, Triple Matcha Chiffon, Thai Miilk Tea, Ube Cloud, First Love Cake and Miilk Cloud. Flavours draw on ingredients and traditions including pandan from Singapore, ube from the Philippines and organic hojicha powder from Japan. The studio also makes cakes such as Hainanese Chicken Rice Cake, a playful savoury-looking creation, alongside chocolate, cheesecake and fruit-led desserts. Its stated approach includes using both plant-based and dairy milk in the baking process, with ingredients sourced through local suppliers and Asian grocers where possible.
There is more to explore in store beyond cakes. The drinks menu includes coffees, lattes, milkshakes and teas, with toppings and milk alternatives available, while the cookie selection ranges from almond, matcha and black sesame to pineapple tart and filled mochi-centre varieties. Take-home products include candles, diffusers, room sprays and mugs, giving the studio a broader gift and celebration focus. With options for individual treats, shared cakes, family gatherings, corporate occasions and custom celebrations, Miilk Cake Studio suits anyone looking for desserts with a distinctly Singaporean and wider Asian influence in central Melbourne.
