Our Ice Cream

Lick Me™ is a premium consumer brand of ice cream produced by the Gourmet Ice Cream Factory in Camberwell, Melbourne, Victoria. Lick  Me™ represents the essence of traditional European ice cream and sorbet recipes that have been nurtured by three generations. This cultural inheritance has resulted in the creation of the most natural and exclusive ice cream in Australia.

Our ice cream and sorbet flavours have won many gold medals at the Dairy Industry Association National Awards as well as Dairy Australia’s “Grand Dairy Awards.” We are committed to only using natural products (no artificial colours or artificial flavours) and the use of only the freshest ingredients, The Gourmet Ice Cream Factory is proud to promote its exclusive brand.

All of our ice cream is made gluten-free, however, we do add Oreo cookies to our Cookies & Cream flavour.

Our ice cream is made the old fashioned way – full cream milk, cream and real, natural ingredients. For example, we use real strawberries in our strawberry ice cream and real bananas in our banana ice cream. Not only does this make our ice cream tastier, but it contributes to making it more allergy tolerant for many people with different intolerances. You can definitely taste the difference.

You can also choose from a range of edible images to add to your cake or even create your own photo! We have lots of options to personalise your cake to make it extra special for your celebration.

OUR STORY

For many years, I baked as a hobby. My love for baking and all things creative was inspired by my Grandma Joan. She taught me all things baking and how to make the best birthday cakes! Grandma Joan was very nifty in the kitchen; she had a desire of creating all things sweet and embraced the handcrafted method of baking. I learnt her secret sponge cake recipe, along with other secrets which have inspired my wonderful cheesecake cups.

After baking cakes and cupcakes at home for many years, in 2017, I decided to build my flagship store at Stockland’s Point Cook Town Centre, Victoria. This was an amazing opportunity for me to respectfully showcase all those amazing desserts that my Grandma Joan had inspired me to create.

I am very thankful to our loyal customers, who provide support, guidance and the opportunity for my dessert business to continually grow and open new pop up locations in Melbourne. Our pop-up stores are uniquely Melbourne and we sell fabulous mini cupcakes in a variety of flavours.

I love baking, and I love having the opportunity to produce fresh-baked treats daily. I am very privileged to have partnerships with many corporate and wholesale clients including Bank of Melbourne, Crown Casino, Myer, NAB, Optus, Telstra and many more.

I look forward to the opportunity in sharing my experiences through my social networks. Please reach out if you would love some assistance in finding your dream cake, mini cupcakes, macarons, biscuits, corporate delights and wedding cakes!

Supporting the Community

We are proud of our ongoing giving program with Cake Angels Network Australia. We aim to make the birthdays of seriously ill children extra special, by donating custom-designed celebration cakes in a theme that is personalised and meaningful to them.

Proudly serving cafes, caterers, food service business, and food distributors in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Tasmania, Perth and Darwin and anywhere a good coffee is being served! Here's our story...

The Birth Of Sweethearts Cakes and Cookies

Starting in their small kitchen from home in 1996, the current directors, Anton & Darren, realized that busy cafe owner who would make everything themselves were in urgent need of some outsourcing help, so they started by making brownies and some other slices for the growing cafe market in Melbourne.

Creating a Slice of the market

Before all the would-be copycats that would come later, the Sweethearts' boys realised early on that cafe goers didn't necessarily want a whole piece of cake, so they focussed on developing the cake portion or 'slice' which became so popular that they were responsible for leading a market revolution! Since that time, they have sold in excess of 5 million slices and continue to be the most popular and fastest-selling slices range leading the market today. Naturally, the sweetheart's team then commenced work to create the leading cookies, muffins, cakes, cupcakes and desserts too!

Serving a Need

The sweethearts' boys quickly realized that cafe operators and caterers no longer wanted to stock similar product to milk bars or takeaway shops and were getting so time-strapped with day to day business operations that they were in dire need of outsourcing their range of cakes, muffins, cookies etc. to maintain a full range to offer their customers whilst they focussed on coffee and meals.

Melbourne's Sweethearts responded to this market need by developing a range of cost-effective cakes, cookies, muffins and slices that was more cost-effective for cafe operators and caterers than making it themselves! Thus meeting the demands of the thriving cafe operator in Melbourne's world-famous cafe market, they carved out a niche for themselves and are market leaders to this day, constantly adding and upgrading products to suit the needs of cafe operators, caterers and party makers alike to save them time and money and give caterers access to the 'just like you made yourself' sweet products, without the hassles of making it yourself or staff, stock and storage issues. Outsourcing demands naturally grew every year since.

Romancing the taste buds of a nation!

Now several years later, Darren and Anton have continued to drive and upgrade the constantly growing business, which has demanded two big commercial kitchen upgrades, an expanded delivery force for statewide and interstate distribution, the addition of many new products with an experienced team of qualified chefs!

Sweethearts maintain its impeccable standards of excellence with Quality management systems and a customer focussed approach.

Sweethearts are regularly audited by external health and safety agencies and have been awarded the Spotless Standard HACCP accreditation, and is externally audited on food hygiene, documentation and food safety systems every 6 months to maintain HACCP certification as one of the industry's highest level of food operations certification currently achievable in Australia.

With 'romance your tastebuds' as their motto and a continual dedication to excellence in quality and service, the Sweethearts team is focussed on romancing the tastebuds of Australia and has since grown to become Melbourne/Australia's leading manufacturer of quality cakes, cookies, biscuits, slices, muffins, cupcakes and desserts servicing gourmet cafes, caterers, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, universities, schools, event planners and party makers and anywhere a good coffee is being served!

From our elaborate, four-tier red velvet cake through to our fun character cakes for kids, Little Cupcakes is sure to have just the thing for your next event.

A party cake for every occasion

Every celebration is made better with a fantastic cake! So whether you are shopping for a birthday party cake, an engagement party cake or a baby shower cake, or you’re simply hosting a little get-together and want a sophisticated tea party cake to serve your guests, allow us to do the baking to guarantee your dessert will be a major talking point!

Birthday party cakes for kids

All of our cakes are deliciously mouth-watering, but let’s face it, most kids just want one that looks amazing! That’s why we’ve developed a range of fabulously fun birthday cakes, from Disney-inspired cakes to fit with popular party themes, to 3D characters that are almost too cool and cute to cut into.

Superhero fans for example will love our black-iced Batman birthday cakes, while little princesses will adore our Frozen theme cakes that are topped with edible snowflakes and icy sprinkles. Other favourites for smaller tummies include our not-at-all-scary ‘fluffy’ little monster cakes, our adorable narwhal cake, and our awesome ice cream cone cake that looks like it’s melting.

Party cakes for grown-ups

You’re never too old to indulge in some party cake on a special occasion, but if you’re looking for something that’s elegant rather than cutesy, might we suggest our rich chocolate ganache cake (made with delicious Belgian chocolate!) or our melt-in-the-mouth Basque cheesecake?

Other options include our towering red velvet cake with real raspberries, our Biscoff cake with its delectable layers of caramel sponge and biscuit buttercream, and our beautiful fault line cake which can be decorated in a wide range of colours to match the décor.

Custom-designed party cakes

Can’t find quite the right cake for your event’s theme on this page? Are you looking for a specific colour or children’s character, or simply want a particular message written onto your cake? Here at Little Cupcakes, we’re also delighted to offer custom party cakes. Give us a call on (03) 9077 0413 or email us at [email protected] to discuss the design, and let’s make someone’s party dreams come true!

Vegan cakes in Melbourne

In need of a vegan party cake? All of your guests – vegan or otherwise – will love our vegan red velvet cake, which tastes every bit as delicious as its dairy-based original. With its tall stack of tiers, it’s both visually striking and able to serve up to 12 people.

Gluten-free cakes in Melbourne

Are you or any of your guests gluten-intolerant? You can still tuck into our burnt Basque cheesecake, which is gluten-free and features a soft, custardy interior with a cracked, caramelised exterior. A tantalising combination of flavours and textures that will go down a treat!

We also believe enjoyment and nourishment aren’t mutually exclusive.

At RawLove Superfoods, we believe in the power of sinking your teeth into something deliciously sweet and creamy. There’s nothing quite like treating yourself to food that just makes you feel good. We also believe enjoyment and nourishment aren’t mutually exclusive. That’s why every one of our handmade treats and desserts is proudly organic, raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.

Whether it’s our famous mint-choc slice or one of our velvety “cheese” cakes, our food is infused with food-grade doTerra essential oils and packed with nutrient-dense superfoods. Our philosophy is simple – health, vitality and well-being come from the inside out. That’s why we create food that’s nourishing for the mind, body and soul.

Owned and operated by one of Australia’s first certified raw chefs Sandra Bottrell, RawLove Superfoods first began in Sydney in 2012. Trained as a massage therapist specialising in lymphatic draining and as a holistic counsellor specialising in grief, Sandra has a detailed background in holistic health. Sandra learnt through her professional and personal experiences that trying to maintain a healthy and healing lifestyle can be isolating, especially when it comes to food. After suffering through illness and embarking on a journey back to health, Sandra discovered finding nutritious treats and desserts was near-impossible.

This discovery, along with her years of experience in the holistic health industry, sparked Sandra’s desire to bridge the gap between health, nutrition and enjoying life and food to the fullest. Sandra wanted to create desserts that take the traditional tastes and flavours we all know and love and transform them into treats, and we can feel good about eating long after they’re gone. And with that ethos in mind, RawLove Superfoods was born. Now located in Melbourne, Sandra and her team of dedicated chefs supply their handcrafted products to cafes and health food stores in Victoria and throughout New South Wales.

Whether you’re a raw food devotee, dabbler or simply want to try something new and to nurture, RawLove Superfoods welcomes you. Join in today by visiting our Brighton East location, book into one of our classes, try one of our cakes for your next special occasion or visit one of our proud retailers.

FAQs

What is fondant?

Fondant is a sugar-based covering for cakes that is a substitute for traditional icing. We make our fondant in the bakery, which has a soft, candy-like texture/taste. Fondant is useful for specific designs that cannot be neatly drawn. It is also useful for outdoor events where buttercream would melt.

What is the difference between buttercream and fondant finished cake?

Fondant and buttercream decorated cakes can be frozen to preserve their shelf life. To avoid the icing freezing and to snap off, transfer the cake to the fridge so it can slowly cool and set. Next, wrap the whole cake tightly in plastic wrap, store it in an airlock container, and place it in the freezer. Typically, sponge cakes with this decor can last up to four months with the correct storage.

Buttercream is what you’ll commonly see on many traditional cakes. It is made primarily of butter, egg whites and sugar. Fondant is a sugary paste with a taste similar to marshmallow that can be rolled out into a thin layer then draped over the cake, creating a beautifully smooth cover. Fondant can also be used to make figures and other decorations (polka dots, stars, flowers, etc.) placed on any type of cake. 

Only cakes frosted in buttercream or ganache may be covered in fondant; unfortunately, cream cheese frosting will not support the fondant. Please note that fondant is placed over a layer of frosting in the flavour of your choosing–and this, combined with the two layers of filling in your cake, means that a fondant-covered cake will still taste like your desired flavour.

How to take care of a fondant cutie?

Please note that fondant cakes must be kept in an air-conditioned area and not refrigerated until after the cake is cut to preserve it. 

All fondant cakes are covered in ganache and then fondant to ensure that we get the sharpest edges and survive delivery. As a result, you must use a good strong knife and server and ensure that they are hot (place them in hot water for at least seven minutes prior to cutting. 

We strongly suggest that wedding toppers not be preserved if they have spent more than three hours in the outdoors.
