Handmade birthday cakes for every age, every flavour and every milestone. Order online for pickup in Unanderra or local delivery across Wollongong and the Illawarra.

Birthday cakes designed around your celebration

At Milano Cakes & Coffee, we believe a birthday cake should be the centrepiece of the celebration, not an afterthought. Every birthday cake we make is handcrafted from scratch in our Unanderra kitchen, using quality ingredients and time-honoured techniques that put flavour and presentation first.

Whether you are planning a first birthday smash cake, a milestone 21st, a 40th or 50th, or a kids' birthday with a custom design, we work with you to create something memorable. Our standard range includes classic favourites like chocolate mud, vanilla sponge, carrot, red velvet, and tiramisu, all available with custom decoration, personalised messages, and dietary options including gluten free and vegan.

For more personal celebrations, our custom design birthday cakes let you bring any concept to life. Number cakes, photo cakes, themed designs, character cakes, drip cakes, fault line cakes, tiered cakes for larger parties, we have made them all. Send us your inspiration and we will quote and design from there.

We are based in Unanderra and offer free pickup from our shop or local delivery across Wollongong, Figtree, Corrimal, Dapto, Fairy Meadow, Shellharbour, Kiama, Albion Park and Port Kembla. Standard cakes need 48 hours notice. Custom designs typically need 7 days. For urgent birthday orders, call us on (02) 4231 8014 and we will do our best to help.
