Messina Eats Cake

On Saturday, 28 September, Messina is hosting a 1 day event with Alisha Henderson and Alice Bennett, two excellent cake makers from Melbourne who know how to hit the sweet spot with their decadent cakes.

Think bake sale meets ice cream party – Alisha and Alice will take over the store with their cake slices, inspired by our gelato flavours.

We will also be serving gelato sundaes and sandwiches, plus Shadow Baking will be cooking savoury breakfast pizzas in our shiny new Gozney Arc and making the coffees. If you’re in need of something stronger, the Messina Creative Bar will be serving boujee mimosas and breakfast cocktails.
