Roundhouse welcomes a high tea collaboration that is anything but ordinary. Crystalbrook Kingsley Executive Chef Joey Ingram and MasterChef alumni and Cakeboi owner Reece Hignell come together to create an exquisite afternoon experience where classic high tea meets playful artistry.

At the centre sits a spectacular rose-kissed tower, more work of art than centrepiece. Layered with cakes, sweet creations, and savoury indulgences, each element is thoughtfully designed to surprise and invite a little decadence. Freshly baked scones arrive warm, served with house-made jam and rose chantilly cream.

A grand rosé tower by First Creek Wines commands the room, poured generously as conversation flows. Whimsical, tea-infused cocktails add a sense of theatre, encouraging curiosity with every sip. Delicate and unexpected, they offer a playful counterpoint to the elegance of the afternoon.

Set high above the city at Roundhouse, panoramic harbour views stretch beyond the windows while a live strings duo sets the tone. Cello and violin provide an elegant soundtrack, elevating the experience into something even the ton would envy.

Elegant, expressive, and unapologetically extra, Cakeboi x Roundhouse High Tea invites guests to linger, toast, and revel in the moment.

Inclusions:

Glass of First Creek rosé poured from the rosé tower
Signature high tea tower with cakes, sweet creations, and savoury indulgences
Freshly baked scones with house-made jam and rose chantilly cream
Live cello and violin performance
