Slice, Slice Baby: Sydney’s Sweetest Souvenir Just Got Stylish

The Art of Cake: Travel Cakes Collection

A Cake Worth Travelling For

Leave room in your suitcase, because Four Seasons Hotel Sydney has unveiled a delicious new reason to return home with something sweeter than a postcard. The Art of Cake: Travel Cakes Collection is a retro-chic, pâtisserie-perfect lineup of gourmet pound cakes designed to be taken (and tasted) anywhere. From coastal drives to coffee breaks, these cakes are ready to go wherever you do.

Handcrafted by Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Blanc, the collection is inspired by the French gâteau de voyage—a style of cake traditionally made for easy transport without compromising on flavour or elegance. Moist, bold, and wrapped in nostalgic charm, these cakes are built to delight, whether shared among friends or devoured solo.

Flavour Meets Flair

Each travel cake is a little work of art, layered with bold ingredients and finished with signature flair. The collection boasts six unique flavours: Raspberry and Rose Petal, Lemon Myrtle, Orange, Pistachio Praline, Peanut Butter, and a classic Chocolate Vanilla Marble.

Their rich glazes and lush toppings nod to old-school indulgence with a contemporary twist, combining the elegance of a French patisserie with a cheeky wink to modern cravings. Perfectly portioned for slicing, gifting, or on-the-go grazing, these cakes prove that practicality and luxury can go hand in hand.

As Blanc puts it, “The main ingredient of the best recipes will always be love. With the Travel Cakes, we wanted to capture that feeling—something nostalgic and joyful, with just the right amount of flair.”

Takeaway Never Looked So Good

Available via The Art of Cake online store or in person at the hotel’s On The Go Café, the full-sized cakes retail for $55 each. Visitors can also enjoy a single slice with a barista-made coffee for just $8. For those who can’t pick just one, the Mini Travel Cake Collection offers a tasting box of five petite bestsellers for $65—gift-ready, irresistibly cute, and dangerously delicious.

Whether you’re picking up a post-checkout treat, a thank-you gift, or the perfect picnic companion, these cakes are more than just dessert—they're edible experiences that travel well and taste even better.
