Cake is incredible for the tastebuds but can wreak havoc on our bodies if we’re trying to stay healthy or have allergies. Luckily, the New Earth Café in Coolum specialises in raw, organic, gluten free and dairy treats to munch on. This brightly decorated café is just a block or so away from the beach is the perfect spot to pop into for a piece of cake on your birthday or to celebrate an anniversary. Whether you’ll be trying one of their meals for lunch first, or skipping straight to the dessert, you’ll find something fresh and yummy to eat in this bright green café. Try their falafel earth wrap; a chia and tomato dehydrated wrap served with walnut herb falafels, tomato, carrot, a homemade beetroot sauce and a generous serving of greens. What they do with their savory food is amazing, but you will not believe the kind of cakes they create sticking to their motto of ‘food that loves you back’! One option is their salted caramel and pecan chocolate mud cake; completely raw and completely delicious. If you want something less moreish, order their berry, lime, vanilla bean and pistachio cheesecake to go, and share the love with your family and friends. This gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, grain-free and vegan cake is the perfect option for the diet conscious birthday girl or boy.

For a slice of cake in paradise pop down to the Baked Poetry Café. This café offers alfresco dining right across from Peregian Beach, a full breakfast and lunch menu, and a huge selection of freshly baked treats. Grab yourself a coffee or a freshly squeezed juice, and then choose from their cakes on display in store. They make delicious favourites such as black forest gateaux or baked cheesecake, but you won’t find their other cakes anywhere else on the Sunny Coast. For example, try the Linzer torte, a traditional Austrian flan cake with a cinnamon short crust, filled with raspberry jam and topped off with Linzer lattice. If you’re lucky enough to visit before it runs out, you may even get a piece of their pear frangipani almond meal cake, with a short crust base and topped with poached pear for what will surely be your new fruity favourite.
