There’s an actual bacon cake at this Melbourne café

Listen up, bacon lovers.

Everyone is talking about this menu item up for grabs at Melbourne’s Third Wave Café for the month of September... a bacon layer cake.

It features bacon weaves, mac & cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, burger patties, sweet potato, more bacon weaves, more mac & cheese, pulled brisket and more bacon.

A slice of the mega meat cake is served with a side of candied bacon, an oink bowl (that's a meatball wrapped in bacon) and topped with bacon floss and BBQ and cheese sauces … all for $25.

The café is known for its monthly bacon special – they’ve previous done the bacon taco shell and a burger with a bacon-wrapped beef pattie.

Greg from Third Wave Café in Melbourne says the idea came from his 15-year-old daughter.

“She loves bacon,” Greg told Be.

“She saw us doing the monthly bacon special and said ‘what about a bacon cake?’

“It always takes a few times (to get it right). We are like a research and developer kitchen these days.”

Of course social media loves the bacon creation. And why not? Everything’s better with a little bacon.

Oink!
