Ms B's Cakery

Bonnie Gokson has never been one to shy away from extravagance. Her restaurant Sevva is a stunning, theatrical space that draws in the city’s rich and glamourous. Opened in late April, Gokson’s first standalone pâtisserie, Ms B’s Cakery, caters to the same stylish crowd, offering gorgeous, haute desserts that wouldn’t look out of place on the pages of Vogue. Indulgence dictates here and it shows through the cheekily named Better than Sex (dark chocolate fudge cake, chocolate-caramel crunch and salted toffee, $420/500g) and Million Dollar Truffle cake (chocolate truffle cake with toffee and nuts, adorned with gold leaves and chocolate gold coins, $920/500g). Gokson’s constantly dreaming up new creations, including the recent Lady Gaga-inspired black forest cake decorated with shards of black and white chocolate and red sugar ‘lips’ ($920/500g). Another fun and fanciful newcomer is the Whoopie Cake ($920/500g) – moist red velvet encased in vanilla frosting studded with colourful nonpareils, sugar pearls and assorted hard candies. Most of the signature cakes are available in 1kg, 500g and ‘darling’ sizes, or in individual taster portions ($150 for three cakes).
