About Borgs Cakes

Borgs Cakes is a family-owned shop in Altona West, and people around here have been ordering birthday cakes from the same counter for years. Custom cakes are the main draw, whether it's a first birthday, a 21st, an anniversary or a wedding. Locals will tell you that if you turn up with an inspiration photo, the team gets close to spot-on, and several families have made it a tradition to come back for every celebration.

It's not only cakes. They make Maltese pastries fresh on the premises, pastizzi and ravioli among them, and there's an old-style feel to the place, with milkshakes, thickshakes and soft-serve ice cream alongside traditional Italian desserts. Someone who visited recently found the cannoli shell had a good crunch, though they thought some of the other desserts were just fine rather than outstanding. The mud cakes get a mention, and so does an orange and poppy seed cake.

For bigger events, they do catering, and they'll deliver cakes and other goods, which people appreciate when there's a wedding or party to organise. They also stock party goods, balloons and decorating supplies, and hire out bakeware, so it's handy if you're baking at home. Staff are known for being warm and helpful with advice.

Prices are generally spoken of as fair for the quality, though one disappointed customer felt a birthday cake missed the mark, so it pays to be clear about what you want when ordering. Takeaway is available, the entrance and car park are wheelchair accessible, and cards and mobile payments are accepted. Check the hours before you head in, as they keep a shorter week.
