About Better Batter Matters
Better Batter Matters is a home bakery in Newcastle, New South Wales, and it's a name locals pass along when someone needs a cake that works for everyone at the table. It's a women-owned business, and everything is made to order from scratch, with vegan, gluten-free and eggless cakes and desserts the whole focus.
Prishila, the baker, has spent 10 years perfecting her vegan and gluten-free recipes, and it shows. People who've ordered tell us the gluten-free cakes taste nothing like the usual compromise, and non-vegan family and friends have been caught going back for seconds. One coeliac customer said she'd never found a place making proper celebration cakes since her diagnosis, until now.
Custom cakes are the real strength here. We've heard of tiered wedding cakes, birthday cakes and wedding cupcakes made around a mix of dietary needs, including low sugar, nut allergies, gluten-free and vegan all at once. Prishila is known for clear, friendly communication from the first message to pickup, and one customer mentioned detailed tips on getting a cake to the venue in one piece. Her snack packs have been in demand too. Takeaway pickup is how it works, and locals consider it good value for the care that goes into each order.
Organic or sugar-free options are available at additional cost. The bakery is only open a few days a week, so check the hours and get your order in ahead of time rather than turning up on the day.
