Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, is one of the largest cities in Australia, and is most famous for being the home of the sail-inspired Sydney Opera House.

So come along with us to The Emerald City (no yellow brick road or red shoes necessary) and check out our picks for the seven most impressive cake shops in Sydney.

Gabriela Oporto, founder of Bakealicious By Gabriela started this bakery and cafe, a long-time dream for her, because of her love for food and baking that was passed down from her mother and grandmother; some of her best memories were Sundays when they would get together and make a big Sunday dinner and spend time together as a family. Baking makes her happy, and she loves sharing that happiness with others.
