The CakeMan is a small cake shop and bakery on Burns Bay Road in Lane Cove, built around a long glass display of whole cakes, slices, pies and pastries made on site. It is a quick stop for a treat or a celebration cake rather than a place to linger, and Cox's Lane Playground is a 3-minute walk away.
