I was excited to see this bakery pop up on Magill Road in the last month. They have really decked out this shop in comparison to before with subway tiles and modern interior. It's not heaps flash, but looks a heck of a lot better amongst the other shops. They offer a whole range of different pastries, lots of donuts and danishes. They also have a sandwich bar and a lot of different pies & pasties. My rule with testing out a bakery is to try their sausage rolls and sourdough. If they get that right, they are good. The sausage roll was $4.40, which is pretty expensive. But, it is really big. The pasty is quite thick, but a little flaky. The meat inside is well seasoned, but I feel like they have mixed a little too much breadcrumbs through. So, it was a little doughy. It was a good sausage roll, and I will try another one. As for the sourdough, it is really fluffy and crusty! Really yummy! But, it is not that sour, which was a little disappointing. Most sourdoughs are a little more dense then this one. However, it's nice to try different versions and I will probably buy it again. It was $7 a loaf though, which is pretty costly for bread. So, I expect a lot when I pay that much. Overall, a good bakery for the neighbourhood. I will keep trying baked goods here and update my review as I go.

My boyfriend had the most amazing cake at his 21st birthday and after discovering that he ordered it from Heidelberg's, without hesitation I decided to order one for my own 21st birthday party. Heidelberg Cakes produces made-to-order cakes, specialising in weddings and parties. There are a variety of cake flavours, which are all amazingly delicious and in order to help you decide what flavour you want, they offer free samples of their cakes. I ended up going for the chocolate and caramel cake. There are also a huge number of themes and designs to choose from, which was great for me as I had a themed birthday party. The service was also top notch and very professional. My cake was also delivered by Heidelberg's staff to the party's venue, just before it started. All of my guests greatly enjoyed the cake, and I can't wait until I have another occaision which calls for me ordering a cake from Heidelbergs!

I ordered a 'Hedgehog' (a chocolate cheesecake with a biscuit base) and picked it up at 10am the next morning. And it was only twenty seven bucks for a glorious chocolate cheesecake, with a personal message written on it, and it tasted and looked like an expensive cake from one of the posh stores that I won't name.

I love the apricot slice and my son's a fan of the snowballs (jelly cake, rolled in coconut and filled with cream) - special occasions only, of course. I also loved the display of edible meringue people. They've started making the Christmas ones already. It's a little pricier than some of the franchise bakeries, but I like to think I'm buying quality and supporting an independent when I shop here. The staff are friendly and seem to manage to serve people in order, even when there are a dozen or so people squeezed in. If you're not doing a mad lunch-on-the-run, there are a couple of casual tables and chairs strewn out the front where you can savour your baked goods.
