🍰 Fresh from our kitchen at Old School Cafe! ☀️

One of the things we love most about our cakes and sweet treats is that they’re homemade right here on site. From mixing and baking to decorating and that final dusting of icing sugar, it all happens in our little kitchen. ❤️

And we’ve been busy getting some delicious summer bakes ready for you this weekend! Think fresh seasonal fruit, homemade cakes, ANZAC cookies and beautiful gluten-free treats like our meringues with berries and raspberry purée. 🍓🍑

Come and see what’s on the cake counter tomorrow, Saturday, grab your favourite drink and settle in for a well-deserved weekend treat. ☕🍰

Which of our homemade bakes would you be reaching for first? 👇

✨ A little bit of magic at The Spire Rooms.

On 6th August, we were delighted to provide the space for Yanni from Follow the Sun Yoga to lead a beautiful Yin Yoga session as part of her Summer Yoga Program.

With candlelight, soft lighting and gentle, meditative soundscapes accompanying the practice, the atmosphere was simply magical — calming, restorative and deeply relaxing. 🧘‍♀️🕯️

And the magic continues! ✨ Yanni’s Summer Yoga Program is a series, with sessions at The Spire Rooms every Tuesday, 6–7pm, until 3rd September.

Come along and experience a little of the magic for yourself. 💜

🍰 Freshly Baked, Ready to Enjoy! 🍰

There’s nothing quite like a homemade slice of cake… especially when it’s freshly baked right here on site! ❤️

Whether you’re craving a rich chocolate cake, a light and fluffy Victoria sponge, a delicious flapjack, or one of our freshly baked ANZAC cookies, we’ve got the perfect treat waiting for you. Pair it with your favourite coffee or a pot of tea, and you’ve got the perfect excuse to take a well-deserved break.

We also have a selection of gluten-free and vegan options, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 💚

Pop into Old School Cafe Bakes and treat yourself to a slice (or two!) – because life is always be better with cake. ☕🍰

👇 We’d love to know… which slice would you choose?
Are you a chocolate lover, a Victoria sponge fan, or do you have another favourite? Let us know in the comments!
