Our Heritage

90 Years of Tradition

Monarch Cakes has been baking from the same recipes for over 90 years. Many originated from the original shop in Poland and were brought to Australia. We bake the same way our grandmothers did, using ingredients in their most natural form.

Most of our recipes come from Eastern Europe: Austria, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, and a few more recent additions from the French.
