About Black Star Pastry Hurstville
Black Star Pastry Hurstville is the local branch of a Sydney bakery that built its name on handcrafted cakes, pastries and baked goods. Its strawberry watermelon cake is the one that gets talked about most, and the business calls itself the home of the world's most Instagrammed cake. If you're after a bakery in Hurstville for a celebration cake, that's a good place to start.
Custom cake orders are a big part of what they do, including tiered cakes for special occasions. We've heard of one local who ordered the watermelon cake to thank a hospital team, found it easy to arrange and ready on time for pickup, and said it looked lovely. Beyond the watermelon, the lychee cake gets a lot of love, and one visitor liked it even more than the famous one, with its fresh raspberries and cream that isn't too sweet. They also do pies and a range of pastries, and the staff are described as friendly, with a couple of people singling out individual team members for helpful service.
Takeaway and delivery are both available, and you can pay by card or phone. There's coffee too, though seating is limited to a couple of small tables, so this is more a grab-and-go stop than a place to settle in for the afternoon.
Some locals feel the prices are on the high side for the slice size, and a few limited-edition flavours have been hit and miss. The signature cakes are where the bakery is at its strongest. Check the hours before you head in.
