Smaak Bakehouse is all about flavour and style, we produce cakes, desserts and chocolates that present bold flavours with a curated appearance. Every item sold in the store has a story behind it’s inception, whether that’s a person, mood, time or place. All cakes are decorated individually and with seasonal flair, you will never get the same decoration twice.

We offer fully customised items if you’re after something particular, for this please use the contact button and we can arrange a quote.

All our products are made with the very best ingredients with a preference for Australian and local whenever possible.

About the owner

Smaak Bakehouse is owned and operated by pastry chef Nyssa Smith.

Nyssa attended culinary school in her hometown of Brisbane, Australia as part of a career change in her 30s. Since getting her start with small businesses in Brisbane, Nyssa spent over 2 years serving as sous chef with 31 Degrees Custom Chocolates. Following this a move to London, UK opened the doors for a wider and more varied experience.

While in London, Nyssa worked with both small and large companies including Rococo Chocolates, Landmark Hotel, Sea Containers Hotel and Bread Ahead Bakery School just to name a few.

After London came a 3 year stint in Amsterdam where she ran a similar business called Banksia Confectionery. The company catered to Australian expats primarily but also introduced the locals to several Aussie bakery classics.

Relocating back home in late 2025 meant a reinvention and Smaak Bakehouse came about.
