Black Star Pastry Newtown

Black Star Pastry was established in 2008 in Sydney, Australia.

We are the creator of the Strawberry Watermelon Cake. Today, over one million slices a year are served from our stores.

The Strawberry Watermelon Cake was originally developed for a wedding – layered with almond dacquoise, rose-scented cream and watermelon, and topped with strawberries, pistachios and dried rose petals; it was made to represent the flavours of romance. The combination of aromas and fresh ingredients evoke a range of emotions, turning each bite into a long-lasting memory.

A national treasure with a worldwide following, this authentic creation has become a social media sensation, with the New York Times declaring it “the world’s most Instagrammed cake”.
