Zoe Clark Cakes

Zoe Clark Cakes creates made-to-order cakes and sweet displays for weddings, birthdays and other celebrations from its base in Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast. The range includes bespoke wedding cakes, tiered and iced designs, patisserie-style desserts, celebration cakes, cupcakes, cookies, macarons and confectionery. Dessert tables and matching sweet treats can also be arranged for an event, with the work designed around the occasion rather than limited to a fixed catalogue.

The business places equal importance on appearance and flavour. Its cakes are developed to suit the theme, personality, interests and size requirements of each celebration, and past designs can be customised for inspiration. The website notes a selection of fillings and flavours, including vanilla sponge, marble, red velvet, chocolate and lemon cakes, while special dietary requirements can be discussed. Candles and personalised messages are also available for party cakes.

Wedding cake delivery is offered to venues across the Sunshine Coast and its hinterland, as well as Brisbane and the Gold Coast. That makes the service relevant to couples planning celebrations across the region, while the celebration cake range also suits birthdays, christenings, anniversaries and engagements. Families ordering novelty or character-style designs, and hosts planning a dessert table, will find the made-to-order approach particularly useful. It is a cake studio and teaching business rather than a described dine-in venue, so enquiries are the practical starting point for discussing a design or event.

The business is led by Zoë Clark, whose background spans cookery, patisserie, cake decorating and design. After learning in London and establishing a cake business in the UK, she returned to Australia in 2017 and set up on the Sunshine Coast. Her work has appeared in sugarcraft and bridal publications, and she has received ACADA and ABIA recognition for wedding cake design. Zoë also teaches hands-on cake decorating classes for intimate and larger groups, writes cake decorating books and shares tutorials online, giving the business a strong focus on both finished cakes and the craft behind them.
