I’m from Sydney and we ordered a chocolate sponge cake from Kotesh for my son’s 21st birthday. The birthday dinner was held in Canberra.. It well exceeded my expectations, the cake was absolutely delicious and looked so good. Everyone loved the cake . Dealing with Kotesh was great - polite, clear communication and happy to help. He’s a fantastic chef
Highly recommend him to anyone .

I was looking for a cake for my mother’s 90th birthday that wasn’t chocolate and that was fresh with citrus/fruit flavours. Kotesh came up with the idea for a vanilla sponge with lime curd and raspberry. My mother was so thrilled with the outcome, she said it couldn’t have been more perfect. I can highly recommend W Patisserie!

I wish the world worked like Kotesh does - it would be a much better place! After clicking 'Ask about Cakes' on W Patisserie website (beautifully designed website) and submitting my query, Kotesh was promptly in touch for the specifics of my order. He is pleasant and polite and happy to offer suggestions. The confirmation, reminder and pick up were all clear and easy. But even better, the cakes were just beautiful and delicious and our allergies were catered for with no compromise. Thank you Kotesh! (I'm getting ready for my next order.)

Always delicious and always so beautifully crafted! Kotesh is delightful. Such a friendly person who makes gorgeous desserts.
My family and I have ordered many of his cakes and eclairs, and they have been consistently amazing!
Looking forward to the next occasion we can try another of his creations.

Having only gained my dairy/soy allergy recently, I was very happy to find someone willing to cater to these requirements. I ordered a hazelnut chocolate cake similar to one I used to love- the cake was amazing and did not suffer at all for the lack of dairy/soy/gluten. Everyone who tried it commented on how delicious it was- thanks Kotesh!

Kotesh at W Patisserie is outstanding! I've ordered cakes multiple times, and the quality, freshness, flavors, and attention to detail are consistently impressive. Kotesh is prompt in responding and makes sure all dietary needs are accommodated. If you haven't tried the cakes yet, you're definitely missing out!

So grateful to Kotesh from W Patisserie for creating an authentic Hungarian dobosh torte for my Dad’s 90th birthday. The cake was delicious, enjoyed by everyone with the young ones coming back for seconds.
The whole experience from ordering to delivery went smoothly. Highly recommend W Patisserie 5*****

Kotesh at WPatisserie made a stunning pistachio tiramisu cake for 25 people. It looked gorgeous and tasted divine. It was rich and complex and very moreish. The cake was exactly what I asked for and the whole process of ordering and picking up was very straightforward. Of course this is not a cheap way to provide a party dessert but the cost is very much in line with other bakeries for a special cake of this size. I don’t think I’ve had a better cake or a more professional service.

The birthday cake made by Kotesh at W Patisserie was exactly what I wanted - a beautiful, dense and moist salted caramel cake to serve as a dessert at my party. Ordering and payment was easy and the price was so reasonable for the quality he produced. I would definitely recommend W Patisserie.

Kotesh at W Patisserie made our fabulous wedding cake and many guests commented it was the best wedding cake they had tasted. We wanted a non traditional sponge cake and he made a beautiful lemon curd and strawberry cake, gluten and nut free. We wanted a simple rainbow drip on the outside and sent a photo for reference. Kotesh designed the cake perfectly. He was wonderful to work with and he has a large range of cakes. I highly recommend W Patisserie and will definitely make it our number one choice for custom cake needs in the future.

Kotesh has done a wonderful job the last two birthday cakes I have ordered from him, and he’s been able to deliver the cakes as well!
They have both been delicious cakes - one was a caramel & white chocolate mud cake and the other was a salted caramel cheese cake. I cannot recommend enough, definitely a go to when I’m looking for a good tasting fancy cake 🍰

Kotesh made a cake for my husband's 60th and my daughter's 21st. It was the most delicious gluten free cake we have ever had. The communication with Kotesh was easy and he delivered on everything we required. I would 100% recommend W Patisserie for all your gluten free special occasion baking and we would definitely use them again.

Kotesh made an amazing gluten and nut-free lemon and raspberry birthday cake for us. It was one of many delicious cakes we have ordered from him. Kotesh is always happy to chat about flavours and presentation and pick-up is always easy. Thanks again Kotesh! W Patisserie is our 'go to' place for special celebration cakes.

Kotesh made our wedding cake. It was perfect! Kotesh was happy to chat through options over the phone & I used his Instagram feed for inspiration as well. The brief was “simple & elegant” and of course a delicious cake - which Kotesh absolutely nailed. Everyone commented how good the cake was, not too sweet & GF too! Needless to say there was none left at the end of the wedding.

I ordered a GF tiramisu on Thursday for a luncheon on Saturday. This was the best tiramisu I have ever had, and I totally recommend W Patisserie for a desert that will wow your guests and have them leaving with happy chat about how great the desert was. Recommend W Patisserie without reserve.

I ordered a custom cake for my husband and I was so happy with the result! The design was a polo shirt theme, and it turned out absolutely perfect, very creative and detailed. The quality, taste, and presentation were all excellent. I must recommend them for custom cake designs, they really delivered exactly what I wanted.

I ordered an eggless Black Forest cake from Kotesh, and it was absolutely amazing! The cake was rich, moist, and bursting with flavor — a total crowd-pleaser that had both family and friends raving. You’d never guess it was eggless! Kotesh was not only professional and punctual, but he also went out of his way to accommodate our specific dietary requests without any fuss. His friendly approach and attention to detail made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable.
We’ll definitely be coming back to him for our future celebrations. Highly recommend his cakes and service to anyone looking for top-quality and great taste!

Hi Kotesh. Just wanted to say a massive thanks for the cake. It was again absolutely spectacular and appreciated by all. The staff at the restaurant, La Cartina, treated it with respect and served it beautifully. I let them know where it came from!!! Thankyou again for your part in my son having a sophisticated and beautiful birthday 😊 Sarah

I ordered a cake for Mother’s Day from Kotesh—the flavours were citrus (orange, lemon, and lime), vanilla, and pear. He made the flavour profile work together beautifully. The result was elegant, utterly delicious, and absolutely stunning. It was a big hit with both family and friends. Kotesh was also professional, punctual, and happy to accommodate our specific dietary requests without any fuss.
This isn’t the first time I’ve ordered from Kotesh. About two years ago, we had a salted caramel birthday cake made, and it’s still talked about in my friend group to this day. He is not only an exceptionally talented baker, but also remarkably consistent and versatile.
We will definitely be seeking out his talents for any further celebrations in our family. Highly recommend!

For my birthday I really wanted an Esterházy torte, but not a lot of places make them. We have had a few patisseries make them in the past but they were no longer available. We heard about Kotesh and asked him to make us one. He said that he wasn't familiar with the Esterhazy but would look into to it and give it go.
It was FANTASTIC, I do love an Esterhazy but this was definitely one of the better ones I've had. Great attention to detail and presentation. Will certainly be back for more.

My wife has Coeliac disease and we often struggle to find gluten free desserts that match up to their glutinous counterparts. W Patisserie have far exceeded our expectations. Since learning about them last week we've already ordered from them twice. Everything we have tried has been delicious thus far but our favourites include the dark chocolate eclairs, the jasmine tea macarons, and the dark chocolate tart. Not only are their products excellent, but the owners are very friendly and pleasant to deal with. I could not recommend them more.
We recently ordered the gluten free high tea for Mother’s Day and it was absolutely excellent. The highlights were the smoked salmon chorus and the chocolate and champagne eclair.

I cannot recommend W Patisserie highly enough. After I suggested a few of my husbands favourite flavours, Kotesh came up with a wonderful cake idea. It was delivered on time, looked absolutely amazing and tasted delicious. Everyone loved it and went back for seconds (and maybe thirds!).

I ordered a gluten free chocolate cake for my birthday on Saturday. I have three people in my family with coeliac disease. Kotesh was amazing and so easy to talk to.
The cake was amazing, beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious!
I have no hesitation in recommending him and his cakes. I will be ordering another one soon.

Kotesh made a white chocolate, hazelnut, salted caramel entremet for my 50th birthday party and it was without doubt the most decadent, sophisticated, delicious dessert I have ever eaten! All my guests raved!!! Kotesh was also a pleasure to deal with and hand delivered his incredible creation to my front door. I cannot recommend WPatisserie more highly, regardless of gluten-free requirements! What a master!!!

I ordered a Pistachio Tiramisu for my mother's birthday. It was AMAZING! It was delivered on the day, it arrived in perfect condition and was enjoyed by all guests. This is the best patisserie in Canberra for delicious gluten free cakes. I will be contacting Kotesh for future events. Look over his Instagram and see the beautiful creations he has on offer. Thank you Kotesh.

I can only say wonderful things about W Patisserie! As a coeliac I have never been able to have such a beautiful cake made for my birthday. I contacted Kotesh at short notice, he was kind natured, extremely helpful and accommodating and created a beautiful and delicious cake that looked just like the picture I gave him for inspiration. Pricing was also very reasonable! All my guests were extremely impressed, and I would highly recommend W Patisserie and Kotesh to everyone 🙂 I will definitely get a cake made in the future and some of the other gluten free treats. Dietary restrictions: Coeliac, all his products are gluten free

With sincere thanks to Kotesh, W Patisserie provided outstanding cakes for my mother’s 70th birthday event. A classic French croquembouche and a vegan Valencian orange cake. Both cakes looked stunning, tasted beautiful, and met dietary requirements. Most people didn’t know one cake was vegan. Everything was eaten. Impressively, Kotesh made the croquembouche on the day, and hand delivered both cakes to the door in professional cake boxes at the exact time requested. More than a few people asked for the details of W Patisserie. It was simple and easy to do business with Kotesh - everything was managed in a few phone calls, text messages and e-payment.

I ordered a 10inch gluten free chocolate cake for a family celebration. It came with chocolate ganache and cherries in the layers. It was delicious and you definitely could not tell it was gluten free. Kotesh was lovely to communicate with and I will be more than happy be a repeat customer for any other special occasion cakes in the future.

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Kotesh at W Patisserie. He saved us a short notice and truly went above and beyond to help us out. The cakes were a visual feast and all of our guest raved about how great they tasted. Thank you again Kotesh for the delicious and beautiful cakes 🤩🍰🤤 We will definitely be using you again

We ordered the most beautiful Strawberry and Cream cake for my daughters 5th birthday. With her key descriptors being pink, flowers and sparkles … Kotesh really delivered. We had so many compliments on the beautiful cake, which tasted twice as delicious as it looked. Kotesh was lovely. Responsive, helpful and knowledgable. I would highly recommend W Patisserie for any special occasion. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

We organised a birthday party and contacted Kotesh to ask what he would recommend. His recommendation for a gluten free lemon strawberry mascarpone cake sounded great. The actual cake was absolutely delicious. We and our guests enjoyed it so much. Thank you Kotesh for your delicious creation. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and coeliac friendly

Kotesh is extremely talented and has been spectacular over the years! Hands down the best desserts and quiches in Canberra! My partner and I regularly visit the W Patisserie stall at the markets, and order custom cakes for our special occasions. Each treat is always of the highest quality and made fresh from real ingredients. Kotesh offers a spectacular range of flavours so there is always something new to try all while being safe for coeliacs.

We ordered a croquembouche for 13 people, light delicious choux pastry puffs filled with creamy vanilla and chocolate pastry cream, drizzled with light delicious threads of divine toffee, it was exceptional, even the restaurant staff asked for a taste and were amazed at how wonderful it looked and tasted. We have a World Class Pastry Chef right here in Canberra, Thankyou Kotesh from W Patisserie, so pleased I found you.
