Monarch Cakes has been baking from the same recipes for over 80 years. Many of the recipes originated from the original shop in Poland and were brought to Australia and have been used here ever since. In the past, a cake was made from fresh, raw ingredients such as butter, flour, eggs, and sugar. Today many have sacrificed that old fashioned flavour in order to bake more quickly and cheaply.
At Monarch Cakes we would never dream of doing that! We bake the same way our grandmothers did, using the ingredients in their most natural form. Our cakes are made with the highest grade butter and sugar and we never use substitutes or premixes. This is evident in the way the cakes taste. Most of the recipes come from Eastern Europe: Austria, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, and a few more recent editions from the French.

History
Report
The shop was opened in Lygon Street, Carlton in 1931 by a Polish emigre and her family. After many years of experience baking European cakes at their cake shop in Poland, they migrated to Australia bringing with them their delightful recipes and traditional continental style of baking. Monaco, as it was known then, established itself as the centre of 1930's euro-cafe society.
