Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 9 October 2026 and 11 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Sweet tooth in Pakenham? Short list. Three places, all in Pakenham, and we have not padded it.
Two are restaurants with dessert lines on their menus: Shanikas and Amalfi Pizza Pakenham. The third is The Great Australian Bakehouse, a bakery listing on Main St.
Each place was checked against at least two sources: OpenStreetMap, its own website and the Australian Good Food Guide. Prices are copied from menus. The bakery has no menu item or price on this page.
