No Prato

No Prato is a Byron Bay cake studio focused on made-to-order custom cakes, with a menu that combines considered design with pastry techniques and adaptable flavour choices. Customers can tailor a cake by selecting from flavours such as vanilla or dark chocolate, fillings including chocolate ganache, salted caramel, lemon curd, dulce de leche and berry compote, and finishes ranging from mascarpone cream to Swiss buttercream, Italian meringue and burnt Swiss meringue. Add-ons include fresh berries, caramelised nuts, edible flowers, ribbon bows and buttercream decoration, with writing available on buttercream cakes.

The ready-to-order cakes give a clear sense of No Prato’s style. Chocolate & Caramel pairs vanilla sponge with salted caramel and chocolate crémeux, while Burnt Meringue & Chocolate combines dark chocolate cake, chocolate ganache and caramelised hazelnuts under burnt Swiss meringue. Strawberries & Cream is built around vanilla sponge, fresh strawberries and berry jam with mascarpone cream, and Dulce Malted uses vanilla chiffon, malt pastry cream, dulce de leche and Italian meringue. The website also notes gluten-free options for several cakes, as well as a dairy-free and gluten-free option for Burnt Meringue & Chocolate.

For smaller treats or last-minute orders, No Prato offers mini alfajores made with two buttery biscuits, dulce de leche and dark chocolate, plus chilled coconut squares layered with coconut pastry cream. These are available for same-day orders, excluding large quantities. Custom cakes are sized for gatherings, with options listed for 12, 20 or 32 slices, while the wider made-to-order service is suited to intimate celebrations, weddings and special events. The website does not describe a dine-in venue or café space, so No Prato is best approached as a cake-ordering destination rather than a place to settle in for a meal.

The business was founded by Bruna, whose interest in baking began while watching her grandmother make and sell cakes. After studying graphic design, she trained in culinary arts and worked as a pastry chef in Sydney fine-dining restaurants, later continuing her experience in Byron Bay restaurants. Her design background informs No Prato’s refined, minimal look, while the business says it works with quality ingredients and local suppliers. That combination makes it a practical choice for people seeking a personalised celebration cake in Byron Bay, whether they need a bespoke design for an event or a smaller dessert to take away.
