Candied Bakery Owners Orlando and Toula

Our story

Candied Bakery was first dreamt up on a trip the USA, where Founders Olando and Toula first experienced bakeries, having a blast by playing with nostalgic flavours. Their vision was to create a place that felt different, a place where the food was serious but the atmosphere wasn't.

Owning a bakery wasn't just a whim; it was Orlando’s dream since his apprentice days. It took years of discipline, living at home with Mum and Dad and putting money aside every single week to turn that dream into a reality. When Orlando and Toula returned from a holiday in Italy, the vision finally clicked.  throwing around a bunch of names, ‘Candied Bakerystuck and brought with it a unique energy.

Candied Bakery  is the result of two worlds colliding. Toula  the Chef and the energy that keeps us moving, while Orlando is the Baker and the all-rounder. Their teamwork is collaborative in every way. Feeding off each other, constantly talking shop and throwing ideas around because they really just love food. Both Toula and Orlando have their roles; they trust the process and never stop aiming for really awesome results.

Our home in Spotswood

Toula the girl from the west of Melbourne, Deer Park and Orlando are originally from Cobram, so they were looking for that small-town feel. We found it right here in Spotswood. It’s a community we’re proud to call home. It's only a few kilometres from the CBD, but with a community-first soul. 

The aim was to build a bakery that the locals could call their own; a happy, no-arrogance zone where everyone is welcome. Candied Bakery delivers that every day in every bake.
