If you've typed "cake shop near me" while sitting in Marsden Park or Talawong, this article is written for you. The north-western growth corridor is one of the fastest-expanding areas in New South Wales, and thousands of families have moved here over the past few years — yet specialty cake shops in the immediate area are almost non-existent. The nearest purpose-built, fully dedicated cake bakery is Num Num's Bakery at Riverstone Shopping Centre, and it's closer than you probably think.
This article covers exactly where we are, how far we are from Marsden Park and Talawong, which surrounding suburbs we serve, and what you can expect when you order a custom cake from us.

Where We Are — and How Far from Marsden Park
Num Num's Bakery is located at Shop 8, Riverstone Shopping Centre, Riverstone NSW 2765. Riverstone and Marsden Park are neighbouring suburbs — they share a boundary along Richmond Road. From most streets in Marsden Park, the Riverstone Shopping Centre is under 10 minutes by car. From the newer Talawong precinct, the drive is typically 8 to 12 minutes depending on your street.
To put that in perspective: a 10-minute drive to pick up a custom, freshly made cake for a birthday or celebration is not a detour — it's a local errand. For customers in Schofields, The Ponds, Box Hill, and other nearby estates, the distance is similar or shorter.
Getting Here from Marsden Park
From Marsden Park Road or Richmond Road, follow Richmond Road north into Riverstone. The Riverstone Shopping Centre is on Market Street, right off the main Riverstone strip. There's ample parking at the centre and it's a straightforward drive — no highway or complex route required.
Getting Here from Talawong
Talawong is a newer residential precinct within the broader Marsden Park area, bordered by Hollinsworth Road and the developing Box Hill estate. From Talawong, the most direct route to Riverstone is along Hollinsworth Road connecting to Richmond Road, then north into Riverstone. Google Maps will typically show 8–12 minutes in light traffic.
Suburbs We Serve from the Riverstone Location
Our Riverstone bakery is the closest cake shop for an extensive area of Sydney's north-western growth corridor. If you live in any of the following suburbs, this is your nearest option for a proper custom cake — made fresh, not shelf-sitting.
Why Eggless Matters in Marsden Park and Talawong
The north-western corridor has a diverse and fast-growing community — a significant proportion of residents have South Asian, Sri Lankan, South-East Asian, and Middle Eastern backgrounds. Many of these communities have dietary practices where eggs are excluded: Hindu vegetarianism, Jain dietary rules, or halal compliance where egg-sourcing is a concern.
For these families, ordering a standard cake from a conventional bakery means either accepting an egg-containing product or asking for a substitution that the bakery may not have experience with. The result is often a cake that isn't quite right — denser, drier, or obviously different in texture from what everyone else is eating.
Num Num's Bakery was built specifically to solve this problem. Every product we make — every cake, every flavour, every size — is 100% eggless. That's not an option or an upgrade. It's the standard. A guest at a birthday party in Marsden Park who follows a vegetarian diet, a Jain diet, or who simply avoids eggs for any reason can eat every piece of the cake without asking any questions.
For party hosts and parents planning celebrations, that's a meaningful practical benefit. One cake, one order, everyone at the table included.
What You Can Order
15 Flavours, Made Fresh
Our full cake range covers 15 flavours across different taste profiles. Popular choices among families in the north-western corridor include:
- Vanilla — classic, crowd-pleasing, suits all ages
- Chocolate Fudge — rich and moist, the top choice for children's parties
- Lotus Biscoff — a consistent favourite for adults, with that distinctive caramelised biscuit flavour
- Pistachio — a premium flavour popular at South Asian celebrations and milestone events

If you're not sure which flavour to choose, or if you're ordering for a mixed group with different preferences, a two-tier cake with different flavours in each layer is a practical option — just mention it when you message your order.

Opening Hours at Riverstone

Saturday & Sunday: 7 am – 7 pm
The early weekday opening (6 am) is particularly useful for customers who want to collect a cake on the way to work, or for parents collecting before a morning birthday party. Weekend hours cover most event schedules comfortably — and if you're picking up the morning of a Saturday birthday party, you'll be in and out well before the guests arrive.
A Note on the Community We Serve
Marsden Park, Talawong, and the estates being built around them are home to a genuinely diverse community — families from dozens of different cultural backgrounds, many of whom have moved here in the last five years as new housing stock became available. Celebrations here reflect that diversity: birthday parties that blend Australian traditions with South Asian or Middle Eastern customs; baby showers and naming ceremonies; festivals like Diwali, Eid, and Holi that involve food shared across a whole community.
A 100% eggless cake isn't just a product specification — it's a cake that can be shared at any of these celebrations without the host needing to check labels, ask about ingredients, or arrange alternative options for different guests. We've heard from many Marsden Park families who discovered us for this reason and now order from us every time there's a celebration. That's the kind of relationship we want to build with every customer in the area.
If you're new to Marsden Park or Talawong and you're looking for a cake shop that genuinely understands your community's needs — not just as an afterthought, but as the core of what we do — come find us at Riverstone Shopping Centre.
