Dello Mano creates handmade Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting in Brisbane — a small-batch classic baked with real carrots, sultanas & walnuts, then finished with rose petals and kibble walnuts. Each cake reflects Dello Mano’s calm-luxury philosophy that true indulgence lies in attention, not excess. From natural ingredients to handcrafted frosting, every detail of this handmade carrot cake captures the warmth and artistry of Brisbane’s favourite small-batch bakery.
Some classics never fade; they simply mature. Our Carrot Cake Brisbane is one of them, a moist, spiced favourite reborn through Dello Mano’s handmade care.
At our Brisbane kitchen, we grate real carrots by hand, fold in plump sultanas and toasted walnuts, and bake in small batches to achieve the perfect texture – dense yet tender. Finished with our signature cream cheese frosting, scattered rose petals, and kibble walnuts, it’s a celebration of craft and calm.

This cake earned its place in our handmade collection because it perfectly embodies what Dello Mano stands for, comfort elevated through craft. The Carrot Cake brings together humble ingredients and transforms them into something deeply luxurious. It’s one of those bakes that reminds us why we began: to honour tradition, to bake generously, and to create food that feels both nostalgic and quietly refined.
Each ingredient tells a story. We peel, grate, and fold every carrot by hand, balancing sweetness with a subtle warmth of spice. The batter carries sultanas for natural sweetness and walnuts for a toasty crunch – simple, honest elements that transform when made with attention.
Our handmade carrot cake reflects the same ethos that began with our brownies, slow baking, small-batch methods, and pure ingredients sourced for flavour, not convenience.
“Luxury is not about excess; it’s about the patience to make something properly.” – Deb Peralta
Our ingredients are chosen with the same care we give every Dello Mano creation. We use Australian carrots for their natural sweetness, plump sultanas that stay juicy after baking, and freshly cracked walnuts folded into the batter. Each component is measured by hand and gently mixed to preserve texture, no industrial speed mixers, no shortcuts. The result is a handmade carrot cake that feels both nostalgic and deeply refined, with every slice tasting like real food made with intent.
At Dello Mano, frosting is never an afterthought. Our cream cheese frosting is whipped from real cream cheese and butter, creating a luscious texture that melts on the tongue. We never thin it with shortening or blends – just pure ingredients and time.
It’s the difference you can taste: rich, tangy, and smooth without being heavy. Finished with delicate rose petals and a sprinkle of kibble walnuts, it crowns the cake with understated beauty.
Every Dello Mano carrot cake begins in our Hemmant kitchen, where the scent of spice, vanilla, and citrus fills the air. Each cake is mixed, poured, and checked by hand – no automation, just craftsmanship.
When baked to a golden hue, the cakes rest before being frosted layer by layer. This pause matters; it keeps the crumb tender and the frosting silky.
Our artisans decorate each one with edible rose petals and kibble walnuts, finishing with the same care that defines all → Dello Mano cakes.
What defines a Dello Mano cake isn’t just what goes into it, but what doesn’t. We never use stabilisers, premixes, or artificial extenders, only simple ingredients brought together through experience and instinct. Our bakers understand batter temperature, the way walnuts absorb moisture, and how long frosting needs to settle before serving. These subtleties are what turn a familiar carrot cake with cream cheese frosting into something extraordinary. It’s craft that only time and care can teach, and it’s at the centre of every Dello Mano creation.
We deliver our handmade carrot cakes locally across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast under chilled courier conditions to preserve their freshness and frosting integrity.

It’s this equilibrium of texture and flavour that defines → Dello Mano handmade cakes Brisbane – always generous, never ordinary.
