Vaxx Cakes

Overview

These colourful creations from local baking business Beurre might just be the tastiest — and cutest — form of vax encouragement yet. The aptly-named Vaxx Cakes are frosting-topped beacons of positivity, proudly emblazoned with messages like 'great jab', 'congrats on your vax!' and (our personal favourite) 'poppin buttons for Sutton'.

The bakery is the brainchild of local Zahara Valibhoy, who's been serving up specialty sweet treats under her Beurre dessert label for the past few years.

Some pandemic-induced pivoting in 2020 saw Valibhoy extend her talents to making tasting boxes and rainbow-sprinkled celebration cakes. Now, following a friend's custom request for a special post-vax treat for her husband, she's been inspired to create a dedicated range of cakes celebrating the important act of getting a COVID-19 vaccination.

Sporting brightly-hued icing and sprinkles aplenty, the Vaxx Cakes are available in three of Beurre's most popular flavour combinations: there's a pecan number with Biscoff chantilly and pecan praline; the vanilla plum cake finished with whipped cream cheese and a cheesecake crumble; and a chocolate creation starring milk chocolate chantilly and berry gel (also available gluten-free). Each $45 cake is sized for four generous portions, or eight smaller serves. Orders are open now over on the website, with delivery available across metro Melbourne.
