1. Drip Cakes — Tall, Dramatic & Totally Customisable 🤩
When it comes to show-stopping birthday cakes, drip cakes are hard to beat.
At Goldies Bake Shop, we take things to the next level — literally — with double-height designs that bring extra drama to the table. Each cake is iced to perfection with a glossy drip that can be customised in your choice of colours.
Whether you love soft pastels, bold metallics, or a rich chocolate pour, we’ll create a look that fits your theme. We'll even add chocolate balls, chocolate swirls and edible glitter accessories to complete the design — perfect for milestone birthdays or celebrations that deserve a little extra wow factor.




2. Sports-Themed Cakes — Especially for Soccer Fans ⚽
For the sports lovers in your life, soccer-themed cakes are one of the biggest birthday trends we’re seeing on the Gold Coast.
Our designs can be made with an edible image of your favourite team, player, or logo — or you can go for our grass-style base, which gives the perfect pitch-inspired look. Add your own figurines, mini goals, or toppers to bring your soccer scene to life. Almost to fun to eat!
These cakes are a hit for kids’ birthdays and weekend team celebrations, and like all Goldies cakes, they’re baked fresh to order using high-quality ingredients. Get in touch today about how we can bring your soccer birthday cake to life!




3. Heart-Shaped Retro Cakes — Cute, Fun & Full of Personality 💕
For something a little girly and sweet, heart-shaped retro cakes are the ultimate trend right now. These vintage-inspired designs are perfect for a Sweet 16, 21st, or just to surprise someone special.
Finished with piped borders, pastel colours, and playful messages, they’re made to look like something straight out of a 90s love story — but with a modern Goldies twist. Each cake is customisable in colour, message, and flavour, so you can create something that feels uniquely you.
