Description
Dolce Fantasia is more than just a patisserie—it’s a place where tradition, passion, and heartfelt connections come together through the art of baking. Founded on the deep love for authentic European pastries, owner Vicki has dedicated the past 13 years to creating exquisite cakes and desserts that bring people together for life’s most cherished moments.
With a childhood spent baking alongside her mother and growing up in a hospitality family, food has always been at the center of Vicki’s world. After a career in marketing and a life-changing trip to Venice, her passion for pastry was reignited, leading her to work as a dessert chef in a renowned Italian restaurant, own a bustling café in Richmond, and eventually take the helm at Dolce Fantasia—a much-loved Oakleigh patisserie with a strong Italian heritage.
At Dolce Fantasia, every creation is crafted with love and authenticity. From the velvety gianduja chocolate mousse profiterole cakes to rustic continental cakes filled with sweet Sicilian custard, each dessert is made using only the freshest natural ingredients—whole eggs, real butter, and absolutely no preservatives. The patisserie’s famed tiramisu, intricate dolce petite, and award-winning cannoli capture the essence of traditional European baking, bringing a touch of nostalgia to every bite.
But what truly sets Dolce Fantasia apart is the experience it creates. It’s not just about the cakes—it’s about the memories they hold. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a wedding, a christening, or even a final farewell, Dolce Fantasia has the privilege of being part of its customers’ most meaningful celebrations. For many, visiting the patisserie has become a tradition passed down through generations, where the simple act of sharing a coffee and cake sparks moments of joy and remembrance.
At the heart of Dolce Fantasia is a commitment to making every customer feel at home. There are no sales pitches or upselling—just a genuine passion for creating beautiful, delicious cakes that make life’s special moments even sweeter. Because at Dolce Fantasia, food is more than just food—it’s love, memory, comfort, and celebration. And that’s an honor we cherish every single day.
