Our Story

Then and now, our mission remains simple:
To share our favourite cake with Sydney!

Impressive layers. 
 Unique flavour & texture. 
 Labour intensive to prepare.
Traditional honey cake (medovik).

Christina’s Honeycakes began in 2018 from my one-bedroom apartment in Campsie. I was craving honey cake and couldn’t find it anywhere in Sydney, so at 23 years old, I took it upon myself to bring it here.

What started as baking for family and friends soon grew into something much bigger. Most people had never heard of honey cake before, but once they tried it, they fell in love!

After four years of baking from home, countless late nights, and a burning passion, we invested our life savings into opening our first store in Newtown in 2022. It was a defining moment, transforming years of hard work, belief, and quiet persistence into the honeycakery we had always dreamed of.

Our Newtown kitchen was designed to be open and exposed, allowing customers to watch the artistry of our honey cakes being assembled onsite, layer by layer, in small batches.

Two years later, we experienced a full-circle moment with the opening of our second store in Campsie in 2024, returning to the suburb where it all began. What started in a small apartment kitchen has grown into two stores, while still holding onto the same care, quality, and devotion from our humble beginnings.

We invite you to discover the cake that captured our hearts — and has now captured Sydney’s, too.
