Slice, Slice Baby: The Sweetest Souvenir Has Arrived as Four Seasons Hotel Sydney Launches The Travel Cakes Collection

From the team behind Sydney’s most seductive sweets comes a new reason to grab a fork (or a takeaway box). Introducing The Art of Cake: Travel Cakes Collection, a retro-inspired lineup of beautifully baked pound cakes from Four Seasons Hotel Sydney. Rich, irresistible and ready to roam, they’re perfect for a road trip, rooftop picnic, or as a gift that guarantees an invitation back.

Designed to be shared, savoured, and snapped, these elevated pound cakes come straight from the creative oven of Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Blanc, and are inspired by the gâteau de voyage, a French-style cake designed to be easily transported and enjoyed anywhere. Moist, sturdy, and free of perishable fillings, they’re ideal for picnics, last-minute gifts, or sweet moments on the go.

“The main ingredient of the best recipes will always be love, and the recipe’s success lies in the emotion of a memory,” says Blanc. “With the Travel Cakes, we wanted to bottle that feeling: something nostalgic and joyful, with just the right amount of flair.”

Because life’s too short for boring cake, each flavour packs its own personality, with glossy glazes, luxe toppings, and a dash of attitude.  Inspired by nostalgic flavours with a French patisserie twist, the collection includes: Raspberry and Rose Petal, native Lemon Myrtle, zesty Orange, Pistachio praline, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Vanilla Marble.  Pick one up for oneself, grab a few as gifts, or go all in with the mini cake sampler. Slice, slice baby.

The Collection

The Travel Cake range is available in six flavours, and each full-sized cake is priced at AUD 55 and available to order via The Art of Cake online store, or for purchase at On The Go Café (takeaway), also available by the Slice (AUD 5) and paired with a barista-made coffee from On The Go Cafe (AUD 8).

Mini Travel Cakes

For the indecisive (or indulgent), the Mini Travel Cake Collection offers five bestsellers in petit form, boxed and ready to gift. Mini cakes are exclusively available as part of the set for AUD 65, and includes five flavours of choice.

Individual Travel Cakes

• Raspberry and Rose Petal AUD 55  - Pretty in pink and unapologetically floral. A moist almond cake swirled with fresh raspberries, rose petals, and a creamy white chocolate shell. The romance novel of loaf cakes.
• Peanut Butter AUD 55 - Sweet, salty, and a little bit nutty. Made with rich peanut butter batter, candied peanuts and a hit of Dulcey chocolate, this one brings the crunch for the munch.
• Choc Vanilla Marble AUD 55 - Like the ‘90s mixtape of one’s dreams. Swirled, twirled and totally classic, chocolate and vanilla sponge meets gooey caramel and a smooth dark chocolate glaze.
• Pistachio AUD 55 - Nutty, green, and glam. This loaf means business with pistachio praline, candied pistachios and a creamy white chocolate wrap. Luxury in loaf form.
• Lemon Myrtle AUD 55 - Bright and zesty with a native twist. This citrus-forward sponge is layered with lemon jam and fresh lemon myrtle. Sunshine in every bite.
• Orange AUD 55 - Syrupy, soft, and citrusy in all the right ways. A golden-orange cake with homemade zest, jam and just enough tang.
