Lily's Pastry

Lily’s Pastry is a Southport, Gold Coast bakery specialising in handmade Persian sweets and cakes, with a focus on traditional flavours, careful presentation and the memories attached to sharing food. It is an order-based business rather than a venue described as having a dine-in space, so it suits customers looking to organise sweets for home, gifting or a celebration.

Its signature offering is Ghotab, a traditional Persian sweet made with handmade dough, pistachio, walnuts, cardamom and rose water. The founder, Fatemeh Jadidi, connects Ghotab with memories of her father’s birthday celebrations and family gatherings in Iran. Jam Cookies, made with handmade dough and strawberry jam, are another Persian sweet featured by the business. Customer comments on the website also mention the quality and presentation of both Ghotab and Jam Cookies.

The menu extends beyond Persian sweets. Lily’s Pastry prepares Swiss Roll Cakes, with fillings and combinations that may include cream, pistachio, walnuts, berries, pistachio cream and banana. The website lists several Swiss roll variations, including Royal, A Piece of Heaven, Berries Garden, Oreo Roll and Maman Roll. Tiramisu is also available, described as featuring pistachio and strawberry with a decorative finish.

For birthdays, weddings, work events and other special occasions, customers can enquire about event cakes. These are made according to the customer’s request, with the website describing handmade dough, cream, pistachio and walnuts alongside simple, minimal decoration. The emphasis is on fresh, authentic sweets and cakes, as well as attractive packaging, making the service relevant for celebrations, workplace gatherings and thoughtful presents.

Lily’s Pastry was created by Fatemeh, also known as Emma, as a way to share the joyful food memories she associates with family and friends. Gold Coast customers can collect orders from Southport every day by prior appointment. Orders can be placed through Instagram, by phone, email or the website form, with customers asked to nominate Southport collection, Brisbane collection or delivery. For anyone curious about Persian sweets, planning an event or looking for a personalised cake order in the Gold Coast, the business offers a direct, appointment-based way to arrange something distinctive.
