Just a 20 minute tram ride from the city lies the eclectic, vibrant village of St Kilda, an area rich with multi-cultural heritage, peppered with exciting nightlife, fine dining, beach side charm, a bohemian slant and a decadent array of mouth watering cake shops.

For those with a sweet tooth, a trip down Acland Street means a treat for the senses - the sunset over the beach is visually arresting whilst the music of buskers, trams and chatter is your soundtrack. The smell of the freshly baked cakes begins to tickle your nose as you embark on your Acland adventure, starting at the Luna Park end of Acland Street, grab a fork and get ready for a sugar rush!

Perfect for a re-energise after the Sunday Markets, drinks at the Espy or taking the kids to Luna Park, all shops are open 7 days until late.

This tour is best done with 4 or more companions, so you can share a one cake slice per shop and get a taster of each cafe's speciality or signature cake.

Europa Cake Shop

First on the lane is the sophisticated Europa, a tasty start to your cake tasting trail. As with all the shops, a wide array greets you in the window, but here you'd be a fool not to try the homemade croissants, which can't be beaten for their buttery delicate texture, the multiple layers of pastry melting in your mouth.

Le Bon Continental Cake Shop

After the savory heaven of the previous shop, the retro Le Bon beckons you in with the decadent black forest cake. With fresh cherrys, cream and chocolate sponge, this is a must for all chocoholics.

Acland Cakes

Now your taste buds are awake and hungry for more, our third stop boasts a sensational baked cheese cake, with rich satisfying flavours. The Vinyl arm chars are perfect for a sugar coma slumber too,

Monarch Cake Shop

The last cake shop on the tour is actually the oldest on Acland, opened in 1934. Monarch is famous for its Kooglhoupf, a polish-german extravaganza of chocolate, pastry and almonds that rounds of your tasty tour with European charm and flair.
