Business Overview
This vertically integrated bakery operation in Silverwater combines a 400sqm central production kitchen with two high-performing retail stores (Burwood & Waterloo), offering a rare opportunity to acquire a premium dessert brand with 40%+ gross margins and franchise scalability. Specializing in low-sugar chiffon/sponge cakes with same-day metro delivery capability, the business dominates Sydney's premium birthday cake market through its omnichannel model (online sales, wholesale supply, and retail). Ideal for food entrepreneurs seeking immediate production capacity and proven brand equity.
