Welcome to Bilberry Bakehouse

Hi, I’m the baker behind Bilberry Bakehouse! My lifelong love for baking began as a child in Iceland, where I spent weekends making Skúffukaka—a traditional chocolate tray cake—and other sweet treats alongside my mom in our family kitchen.

Growing up, the end of summer meant berjamór: foraging for wild bilberries across mossy lava fields. In Icelandic folklore, we share these wild berries with the Huldufólk (the hidden people), always leaving a handful behind out of respect. That tradition taught me to honor ingredients and appreciate nature’s sweetness from a young age. To me, bilberries represent home, warmth, and a touch of magic—making it the perfect name for my bakery.

From Pastry Chef to Bakery Dream

After moving to Australia, I turned my passion into my profession by qualifying as both a chef and a pastry chef. Bilberry Bakehouse is the realization of a personal dream: working for myself, replacing mass-produced treats with handcrafted bakes, and sharing the pure joy that good food brings.

We firmly believe people know greatness when they taste it. That’s why we don’t just follow trends or make cookies that only look good on Instagram; our focus is on using the best ingredients we can find to create treats that truly stand out. We believe in the extraordinary power of food to spark joy, ignite magical moments, and bring people together.

Our Bakehouse Promise

We believe you can taste the difference when real care is taken. That commitment starts with uncompromised ingredients: we use quality Australian butter, rich Belgian chocolate, free-range eggs, and pure vanilla paste in our signature doughs.

We never ship pre-packaged stock sitting on a shelf. Every cookie is baked fresh specifically for our weekly dispatch days, and every single cookie is weighed, stuffed, and finished by hand right here in regional Victoria. We are always striving to be the best we can be, continually evolving our recipes with dedication to deliver an unbeatable bake every single time.
