The Heart Behind Every Bite

Santither Bakes started in 2016 as a small kitchen experiment between friends who shared an unshakeable love for baking. What began with a tray of salted caramel cupcakes at a neighbourhood market has grown into one of Melbourne's most beloved artisan bakeries.

We still operate with the same philosophy: quality ingredients, no shortcuts, and a genuine care for the people we bake for. Our butter comes from Gippsland dairies, our vanilla is real bean paste, and our chocolate is Belgian couverture. Every recipe has been tested, tasted and perfected until it feels just right.

Whether you're ordering a single cupcake to brighten your afternoon or a three-tier wedding cake for the biggest day of your life, we pour the same heart into every creation.

Words From Our Guests

★★★★★

We ordered three dozen cupcakes for my daughter's christening and they were absolutely perfect. The lemon and elderflower flavour had everyone asking where we got them. Santither Bakes is now our go-to for every family event.

— Rachel M., Brighton
★★★★★

I'm coeliac and finding genuinely delicious gluten-free cakes has always been a struggle. The team here made me a chocolate mud cake for my 40th that was hands down the best cake I've ever had — gluten-free or otherwise. Unbelievable.

— Daniel K., South Yarra
★★★★★

We use Santither Bakes for our office morning teas every Friday and it's genuinely the highlight of the week. The brownie box is dangerously good. Professional, punctual, and the quality never dips.

— Priya S., Melbourne CBD
★★★★★

Our wedding cake was a three-tier semi-naked cake with fresh florals and it looked straight out of a magazine. More importantly, it tasted incredible — our guests are still talking about the salted caramel layer months later.

— Jess & Tom, Fitzroy

Common Questions

How far in advance should I place my order?

For cupcakes and standard treats, we recommend ordering at least 48 hours ahead. Celebration cakes and custom designs require a minimum of one week's notice, and wedding cakes should be booked at least four to six weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.

Do you deliver across Melbourne?

Yes, we deliver throughout metropolitan Melbourne seven days a week. Delivery fees are calculated at checkout based on your postcode. For orders over $120, delivery within 20 km of our Southbank kitchen is complimentary.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Absolutely. We offer gluten-free, vegan, nut-free and dairy-free options across most of our range. Please mention any allergies or dietary needs when placing your order so we can ensure everything is prepared safely and tastes wonderful.

Can I request a fully custom cake design?

Of course — custom cakes are one of our favourite things to create. Share your vision, theme, colours or inspiration images with us and we will design something unique for your occasion. Get in touch via our contact page or email us at info@santither.com to start the conversation.

How long do your baked goods stay fresh?

Our cupcakes and cakes are best enjoyed within two to three days of delivery when stored in a cool, dry place. Brownies and cookies keep well for up to five days in an airtight container. We never use artificial preservatives, so freshness is always at its peak on the day of baking.

Is there a minimum order for corporate catering?

For corporate and event catering, we have a minimum order of $80. This typically covers a mixed platter of 12 to 16 items. For larger events, we offer tiered pricing and can work with you to build a menu that suits your budget and headcount.
