About Baked by Marc
Baked by Marc is an artisan Melbourne bakery grounded in the timeless tradition of Austrian pastry and coffeehouse culture. For centuries, Vienna has perfected the ritual of afternoon coffee and cake, an experience centered on slowing down and savouring meticulously crafted desserts.
While Melbourne is world-renowned for its specialty coffee culture, many cafes overlook the importance of a high-quality dessert pairing. We bridge this gap by bringing the precision and restraint of European pastry techniques to Melbourne, re-establishing fine cake as the essential partner to a perfect brew.
The Art of the Austrian Coffeehouse in Melbourne
Our founder, Marc Eberlein, honed his craft in Europe’s most prestigious Michelin-starred kitchens, including working alongside Heston Blumenthal. Having led pastry teams in world-class five-star hotels, Marc brings a rare level of technical mastery to every creation.
At Baked by Marc, every cake reflects classical training elevated by intention. Marc’s philosophy is simple: exceptional desserts rely on a mastery of the fundamentals—precision, balance, and an uncompromising attention to detail.
