About Me
Welcome to Baked by Marc
Our bakery is grounded in the rich tradition of Austrian pastry and coffeehouse culture.
For centuries, Vienna has celebrated the ritual of afternoon coffee and cake - an experience centered on slowing down, enjoying meticulously crafted pastries, and valuing balance, refinement, and technique.
While Melbourne is globally recognized for its world-class coffee culture, many cafés overlook the importance of a quality dessert pairing. Convenience and overly sweet flavors often take precedence over true craftsmanship. Our bakery bridges this gap, bringing the precision and restraint of Austrian pastry culture to Melbourne, re-establishing cake as the essential partner to fine coffee.
Meet Marc Eberlein: Master Pastry Chef & Owner
Marc’s journey began in the family kitchen, learning the rhythm of traditional cooking from an early age. This passion led to professional training in Europe’s Michelin-starred kitchens, including work with Heston Blumenthal, world-leading five-star hotels, and high-volume production environments.
Across these diverse experiences, Marc discovered that exceptional desserts rely on a mastery of the fundamentals: precision, technique, and meticulous attention to detail. From intimate, refined desserts to large-scale production, Marc has developed a rare ability to balance elegance and flavor consistently. Every cake reflects classical techniques elevated through a focus on craftsmanship and intention.
