About Oven Stories
Oven Stories is a Hawthorn bakery that has built its name on eggless baking, and it's known among those looking for eggless and vegan options. Cakes are the main event here, with cupcakes and freshly baked items alongside them, and vegan and gluten-free options are available.
Custom cakes are what one customer has ordered for special occasions. We hear they're easy to talk to about a design, and the finished result tends to match the picture in your head. One parent ordered an eggless birthday cake for their son and was thrilled with how it turned out. Another local has relied on the team for special occasions and talks about the care that goes into each cake. Flavours that appear on the menu include red velvet, strawberry, cookies and cream, Dubai chocolate, rose and pistachio, Ferrero, and rasmalai cake.
It isn't only cake. The savoury puffs get plenty of attention, particularly the paneer and Schezwan ones, and there's coffee and chai if you want to sit for a bit. One person found a chocolate cake on the dry side, and another felt the chai could use more flavour. Staff are generally described as friendly and polite, though there's been the occasional grumble about a cold welcome at the counter.
We've heard they've turned around a cake the same morning for a party, though it's best to ring ahead and not rely on it. The website describes the baking as done with experienced chefs and good ingredients, with no artificial flavouring.
You can order takeaway or delivery, or pick up in store, and there's free street parking nearby. They keep seven-day hours, but check before you head in for a custom order.
