Cake Without the Fuss: Ready-to-Serve Cakes for Any Occasion
Sometimes a sheet cake or elaborate bake isn’t what you need. Instead, try something you can pick up in-store and serve with pride. At Woolworths, we believe great taste and exceptional quality come together with minimal fuss yet maximum flavour.
From elegant slices to ready-to-go desserts and simple recipes you can make at home with Woolies ingredients, this guide covers the best cakes for any celebration.
Ready-to-Serve Cakes That Impress Instantly
Our bakery shelves feature cakes that look stunning and taste even better:
- The triple layered chocolate gateau cake brings rich chocolate layers and bold flavour. Its elegant finish works for birthdays or special dinners.
- Red velvet gateau cake pairs a subtle cocoa sponge with creamy icing. It wears a bold red hue and always commands attention.
- Chocolate caramel swirl gateau cake offers a creamy swirl of chocolate and sticky caramel. It’s special enough to serve without extras.
- For smaller gatherings or impromptu treats, the mini chocolate fiesta gift cake and rainbow celebration cake fit right in. It’s perfectly sized and looks festive at first glance.
Each cake comes from our bakery using free range eggs, real butter and smooth icings. They deliver a beautifully balanced flavour right out of the box.
Simple Recipes for a Touch of Homemade Flair
If you’d like to add something personal to a store-bought cake or you feel like doing a little baking, you can try one of our Woolworths-tested recipes using ingredients from our shelves:
- Milk stout and chocolate cake layers a dark chocolate sponge with butterscotch sauce and caramel shards. It's rich yet surprisingly elegant when you stack it small.
- Easy naked chocolate cake adds fresh basil to a cocoa cake and finishes with cream cheese icing. It looks rustic and tastes refined.
These recipes use everyday Woolies pantry staples and turn out like bakery-quality treats at home.
Match a Cake to the Moment
- For birthdays or big family gatherings, grab the peppermint caramel gateau cake or caramel cream cake. They slice well and make a statement.
- Planning a quieter high tea or intimate lunch? You’ll love the chocolate and vanilla tray bake or a slice of carrot gateau cake.
- Want to experiment in the kitchen? Get the chocolate cake mix baking kit and bake away.
- Monday morning cake cravings? Brownies work well with a coffee and no extra fuss.
