It’s no secret in the New Media Publishing building that the VISI team has a sweet tooth. Office temptations, as our editor-at-large Malibongwe Tyilo puts it, are commonplace. So, when we heard that The Velvet Cake Co. had opened its doors just around the corner on Loop Street, we were extremely excited, to say the least!
This family-run business, started by sisters Jandri and Carla van Zyl in 2010, began as Treat patisserie in Cape Town’s northern suburbs, before evolving in 2012 to become The Velvet Cake Co. Now, due to popular demand, there’s a new store in town… and with pretty interiors by FVE, it’s just delightful!
The store offers a wide selection of cakes, cupcakes and quiches (which can be ordered online too). You’ll find The Velvet Cake Co. at 16 Loop Street, Cape Town. The store is open from 9am until 5pm Monday to Friday and on Saturdays from 9am until 1pm.
