Jillian’s Cakery

This old-school Surry Hills bakery is swimming against the dual tide of over-the-top, technicolour desserts and gluten/dairy-free concoctions with their rustic, American-style treats. Whether it’s pecan pies drizzled with sticky caramel or carrot cakes smothered in thick cream cheese frosting, owner-baker Jillian Butler proudly announces that all her creations are made with 'real sugar, full-fat cream and butter'. Order a whole tres leches, a Latin American torte soaked in condensed, evaporated whole milk topped with whipped chantilly cream for your next special occasion, or simply stop by on the way to work for a cup of coffee and a slice of deep red velvet from the counter.
