FERGUSON PLARRE'S BAKEHOUSE REVIEWS

Bought a mud cake recently and was amazed by the ease, efficiency and value. Amazing, attentive customer service, wide variety of cakes and for under 30 dollars i was able to get a beautifully decorated cake that served around 12 people instead of only 8. It was moist, decadent and the chocolate cake and hazelnut buttercream complimented each other beautifully. Not too sweet, which is incredible as well. Do not overlook this little gem. Definitely will be returning.

Ordered a rainbow drip cake for my grandson's first birthday and was so happy. The store changed the date of pick up with ease when the party date changed. The cake was extremely well priced at under $70. It looked fantastic and tasted even better, lovely and moist with a beautiful butter cream icing. Thank you to the Ballarat Central store, would highly recommend.

What a wonderful little bakery! Friendly staff, good range and reasonably priced. Everything we had was delicious, from the egg and bacon roll, to the cream filed lamington, to the coffee. Definitely recommend for a brunch stop. Staff really made the experience great, really friendly, efficient and helpful.

THE CHEESECAKE SHOP BALLARAT REVIEWS

I got my Son’s 2nd birthday cake made here with baby shark theme and I swear to god that not only they made it look way better than what I expected but also the taste was awesome. I had people from Melbourne, Ballarat, Horsham and Sydney, every single person who tasted it loved it like anything.. I like to thank you Rhonda and your team for this amazing experience. 10/10.

Great, easy experience. Ordered online 3pm on Friday- cake was ready (and gorgeous) at 10am Saturday. The lovely girl who brought the cake out was also fantastic!

Got strawberry cake for a friends kids birthday, it went down an absolute treat. The staff were friendly and the costume message on the cake looked and tasted good. would happily get a cake for an event from here again.

PRETTY SPECIAL CAKES REVIEWS

This cake from Tina at Pretty Special Cakes was to die for! We ordered vanilla and caramel flavoured tiers, as well as a second coconut gluten free flavoured cake for our guests who needed it. Not one single guest had a bad word to say about the cake and I was asked for more during our recovery session on Saturday! The cakes even travelled 4 hours to the wedding destination without an issue. Please support her if you need a special occasion cake xx Thankyou Tina.

Tina created a beautiful vintage cake for my daughter’s birthday. It was a delicious vanilla buttercream cake with raspberry jam filling - it was absolutely heavenly. Thank you Tina, your cake completely nailed the brief!

We ordered our wedding cake from Pretty Special Cakes and couldn’t recommend more! Tina was absolutely lovely to deal with, made us a delicious taster box to choose from, and the end result looked amazing and was delicious! 10/10
